    Bolt pattern is the same but I think the hub might be different.

    Wheel and tire section in the first reply here has all the info you need on wheel fitment.

    As you'll see there, hub bore on the 1st Gen Tundra is 106.1mm. Quick Google Search on 2024 Taco... Womp womp. Spacer info is in the thread I just linked. You'll need to follow same instructions as using new Tundra wheels. You're looking at $200-300 in hubcentric wheel spacers to fit.

    Thanks for the info. That makes my mind up on the wheels, i will stick with stock, i like them anyway. Just looking for an easy inexpensive way to upgrade my tires. I have 265 65 17 LTX on now and wanted an all terrain. 255 80 17 seems like a good fit but doesn't come in BFG KO2's. I have them on my FJ and 4Runner and like them. Might have to try the Wild Peak's.

    Take my advice for what it's worth...but I recently went through a sort of ordeal on this. I didn't realize how limited the tire selection was for our trucks. I was stubborn about wanting a certain tire, and ended up with a compromise that does work, but I'm not all that happy with.

    If I had to do it again, I'd start with what size and load range tire I want. Then see who offers that tire. Starting from the tire I wanted (Falken Wildpeak) and working forward from there was what screwed me. I wanted Falken Wildpeaks, but they aren't offered in the size or load rating I want. I ended up with P-rated, 255 70 16. I don't mind the size, and P-rating would be fine, except I drive a lot of dirt and haul a trailer, and will soon have a slide-in camper in my truck. They'd be great for most people who only spend a little time on gravel roads and don't haul weight. They're light, they're a good size, so good mileage and good power. But I'm likely to have a blow-out if I'm not careful.

    Anyway looking back I wish I had said: "Ok, I need - All Terrain, LRC, 265 70 16 or 245 75 16". Then looked for who makes that size and load range, and gone with a reputable brand. Rather than being so stuck on a certain tire brand (Falken Wildpeak or BFG KO2) that I need to compromise on load range and size.

    you can even get MORE specific. Ko2's are notoriously shit in the rain. Which is why the ko3 has a different pattern to help with water dispersion.

    there's aggressive AT and There's non-aggressive AT (Goodyear workhorse comes to mind)

    water or snowy conditions should factor in. As should mud or rock.

    I think the BFG are ok in the rain, good in the snow and if you rotate them they last a long time.

    Oh yeah you can get super-specific. I just wanted to point out that starting with what type tire you need, then working from there to find a tire brand, is a better approach than the opposite. More likely to end up with the tire you need. I definitely get hung up on brand/model. I think a lot of people do. I used to be a BFG purist. Then ran through a bunch of Les Schwab brands like Toyo, Dean etc. and had pretty mixed luck. Then I got Wildpeaks and loved them. So I was completely set on them this time. Didn't serve me well...Because it was either P-rated, or LRE, and nothing in the stock size.

    Ok, I'll bite. That's a fucking wild jump in size. What have you done suspension-wise to be able to tuck above-33s in your truck? Most of us running 32.5 - 33 are rubbing to some degree, had to delete or modify front mud flaps, rub during compression events while turning, etc.

    I was expecting you to say you'd be throwing on an extra inch with 265/70r17, or inch and a ½ with 275/70r17.

    I thought about the 275 70 17. Being that the 255 80 17 is almost 3/4" narrower and an inch taller would the rubbing be worse? If i used a 1.5" wheel spacer would that make it rub on the fender flair? All i have is a 2" strut spacer up front. Sits about an inch higher in back. These trucks need some height to make them look better.

    First off, what are you trying to accomplish? People can't visually differentiate my 275/70r17 I'm running from a 285/70r17 from 10ft away. Likewise, when someone is parked next to me with A/T in 265/70r17, I can't visually tell the difference between theirs and mine. Wheel choice has a little to do with that, but not much. Just trying to gauge what advice would be helpful for you to hear, by understanding what you want to accomplish.

    Second, what kind of weight difference are you expecting, rolling-mass-wise between your current tire and the one you are looking at? And are you planning to go with load rating C or E? Before you answer that, how much on-road use percentage are you planning, and how much towing will you be doing? Every bit of rolling mass you add leads to a reduction in performance and mpg. I can't use my cruise control properly anymore thanks to going from 39lb tire to 59lb tire. That matters to some. And load rating is important depending on what you want to do, and how harsh of a ride you're cool with. The taller your tire, the farther off your speedo will be also.

    Third, not ¾" narrower, in reality it's less than ½" width difference between current size and what you're planning, unless the tire you've selected is intentionally undersized width from standard sizing.

    And only for sake of visualization, look at the above. Visually, big difference. Now look at going a mere 1" up in size from stock, from 265/65r17 up to 265/70r17. Barely noticeable.

    Why would you subject yourself to all that extra pain, loss in power, loss in performance, road noise, rub, annoyance, added suspension upgrades required to support the added size, etc. when you can visually get the same by going with a more reasonable size?

    I mean, if you're planning to crawl exclusively, or travel in specific environments 90% of the time, I get the pizza cutters. If it's purely for looks and a little more traction and performance, the logic behind going to 33.1 escapes me.

    So your 275 70 17 don't rub? What suspension upgrades have you done? I was comparing the 275 70 17 to the 255 80 17 when i mentioned the 3/4" width difference. I have read were the 33" pizza cutters give you the 33" size without the rubbing.

    My 275/70r17 are oversized, 32.5" instead of 32.2"

    I rub significantly. Even with close to 2.5" lift. Even after trimming. Even with a good offset. Even with $900 aftermarket upper control arms.

    I rubbed the shit out of the fender liner. Got it alingned out, rubbed the mudflap. Removed the mudflaps totally. Still rubbing frame on passenger side, significantly. I dig into the fender wells any time I'm going up or down an incline while turning, i.e. during compression + turn events.

    My cruise control can't hold speed going up and down the smallest of hills. I lost 10% fuel economy. Truck is noticeably more sluggish getting up to speed. Rides a lot rougher. This is all the shit nobody warns you about but starts to relly piss you off after a few months.

    A lot of people will tell you "no rubbing", when there will be rubbing. Some people's idea of "no rubbing" is, like, "I don't notice it very much" or "it's not constant".

    Exactly. I think "No rub" is a myth once you step past 265/70r17. And I've even heard people complain of rub at that size.
