285-70-17 KO3 tires do fit on a bone stock 2024 Tacoma SR5

[Panag]

Long time Jeep guy (+ Multiple Tacomas + old school 83 long bed toy w/ 22r motor). I've been viewing this forum a good bit to get insights on what would work with a new 24 SR5 we added for a utility family vehicle. It has been really helpful. So many posts about the the larger tires that work on these new 4th gen... but nearly all I saw referred to the TRD Off-Road or Sport... but couldn't find much in the way of specifics for the SR5.

Literally just picked up the truck on Sunday and assumed the 285/70's would work - but then the fella helping me today at my local America's Tire indicated he was convinced it would rub as I still had the air dam up front. While I was pretty confident that it would fit, his comments did give me pause and was suddenly second guessing.

So after a quick forum and google search didn't give me a certain answer - I was relieved that they did in fact fit on stock 17" wheels / offset and WITH the front air dam. (likely will remove - but hope this post can help those with a firm confirmation that it will in fact work!)

Lastly, Ive run BFG ATs (Before they were KO's) and KO2's on trucks and Jeeps for almost 35 years. So really excited to try out these new KO3's. My Jeeps and trucks are primarily snow runners and I need to replace the 315/70/17's on my JL in the fall!

Great looking truck and setup, would you say the tires are tucked or poke? I can’t tell from the photo if they do poke how much is it? I’m planning on 285s for my sr5 as well but on 18x8 +45

Do you have to have spacers or does it fit without? I’m looking to do the same to mine I’m just worried I’ll get them mounted and have to change something with them

There is nothing additional needed to install on to the stock 17” wheel. So there should be no worries about that.

the tire at a 285 is a bit wider, but on the stock wheel this doesn’t create a poke. Should you want to create a more aggressive stance, there are many who have shared a +25 as the optimal change that works and creates that stance.

However, I haven’t changed the wheels. So this post is simply to illustrate the fitment of the 285/70/17 in a stock wheel and no other modifications. Hope that helps~

No poke. A wider stance for sure. Perhaps more flush than stock. But to achieve a poke, you will need to chance the wheel. Or a spacer if you choose. I personally am not a fan of spacers.
