    Thanks for the help. I'll just have the tire shop fit some different sizes on to see what I can run without too much rubbing.

    What size are you running now the best thing to do is start out at I size bigger and see if the rub if not go to the next size. The best thing to do is don't venture too far from the stock width go wider it will cut down on how tall of a tire you can get

    Agreed.
    you can't go too much bigger than stock without some kind of suspension mod. I'ts not as expensive as you may think to give it a bit more to run a larger tire.

    Any suggestion's? I have heard ov leveling kits but have not had my toyota all that long so I guess I better look into it. I def. do not want to do a body lift or a full-blown suspension lift, just something to increase my tire size a bit as well as ground clearance.

    265 70 17 - thats how far you can go with stock suspension and without any other modification on your truck.

    He can go a taste wider now as for a leveling kit don't let it fool you you will be able to go a full size up but be careful on what you buy I had a ready lift leveling kit and my truck didn't sit level it sat higher in the front end than the back end had to go buy 1 inch blocks for the rear to fix that problem
