Quick Answer
- Toyota's 2024 to 2026 Tacoma comes on 245/70R17 (SR, SR5), 265/70R17 (TRD Off-Road, TRD PreRunner), 265/65R18 (TRD Sport, Limited) and 265/70R18 (TRD Off-Road i-FORCE MAX, TRD Pro, Trailhunter).
- Going from 245/70R17 (30.50 in) to 265/70R17 (31.61 in) adds 3.6% to the diameter, so an indicated 60 mph is about 62.2 mph true.
- Toyota's manual says to use only the tire sizes it recommends, and that lifts and larger tires can affect Toyota Safety Sense 3.0.

We hold no manual for 1995 to 2003, 2009, 2010 or 2015 specifically, so those years may differ from the nearest manual listed. Your tire label in the driver's door jamb is the final word.
Tacoma Tire Size Comparison: Calculated Diameter and Speedo Change
Diameter and speedometer changes between Toyota factory sizes, plus two larger sizes people ask about. This is arithmetic only. We do not state fender clearance or lift requirements because Toyota does not publish them.
| Gen | Stock size | New size | Diameter change | Change % | Speedometer error | Note |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| G4 | 265/70R17 | 265/65R18 | -0.04" | -0.1% | +0.1% | Both are Toyota factory sizes (TRD Off-Road and TRD Sport) |
| G4 | 265/70R17 | 265/70R18 | +1.00" | +3.2% | -3.1% | Both are Toyota sizes (TRD Pro and Trailhunter use 265/70R18) |
| G4 | 245/70R17 | 265/70R17 | +1.10" | +3.6% | -3.5% | SR5 size to TRD Off-Road size, both Toyota sizes |
| G4 | 245/70R17 | 265/65R18 | +1.06" | +3.5% | -3.4% | SR5 size to TRD Sport size, both Toyota sizes |
| G3 | 245/75R16 | 265/70R16 | +0.14" | +0.5% | -0.5% | Two Toyota factory 16 inch sizes |
| G3 | 265/70R16 | 285/75R16 | +2.22" | +7.3% | -6.8% | Not a Toyota size, arithmetic only |
| G3 | 265/65R17 | 285/70R17 | +2.15" | +7.0% | -6.6% | Not a Toyota size, arithmetic only |
A larger tire makes the speedometer read low. The full diameter and speedometer comparison works for any two sizes.
Tacoma Wheel Size: Rim Width and Lug Nut Torque by Generation
Bolt pattern, centre bore and offset are not in Toyota's owner's manuals, which list wheel diameter, rim width and wheel nut torque only. Confirm the rest with Toyota before ordering aftermarket wheels.
| Gen | Years | Rim widths | Wheel nut torque | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| G1 | 1995 to 2004 | 6J, 7J, 6 1/2JJ | 83 ft-lbf (113 N-m) | 2004 owner's manual |
| G2 | 2005 to 2015 | 6J, 7J, 7 1/2JJ, 7 1/2J, 8JJ | 83 ft-lbf (113 N-m) in 2012, 85 ft-lbf in 2008 | 2008 and 2012 owner's manuals |
| G3 | 2016 to 2023 | 7J, 7 1/2J | 83 ft-lbf (113 N-m) | 2016, 2018, 2020 and 2023 owner's manuals |
| G4 | 2024 to 2026 | 7J, 7 1/2J, 8J (manual); 7 1/2J, 8 1/2J (265/70R18, product information) | 97 ft-lbf (131 N-m) aluminum, 154 ft-lbf (209 N-m) steel | 2024 and 2025 owner's manuals, product information |
For other rim widths, the rim width chart for a tire size and the wheel offset and backspacing calculator help with aftermarket wheels.
What Toyota Says About Lifts and Larger Tires
The 2024 Tacoma owner's manual covers lift kits up to 4 in (101 mm), including tire height, in its driving support systems section. Toyota recommends a Toyota genuine lift kit because non-genuine kits may degrade system performance.
| Suspension | Tire size | What Toyota says |
|---|---|---|
| Toyota normal suspension | Manufacturer specified tire sizes | The system operates normally if the settings comply with Toyota specifications. |
| Toyota genuine 2.5 inch lift kit | Tire sizes up to 3 inches plus the specified size | The system may not operate properly. See a Toyota authorized service facility to verify and change the settings. |
| Toyota normal suspension, or genuine lift with larger tires | Any other size, or beyond the 3 inch range | Not designed to accommodate the configuration. Toyota highly recommends this not be done. |
| Non-genuine lift kit | Any | Requires an authorized Toyota service facility to disable the Toyota Safety Sense 3.0 functions. |
Source: Toyota 2024 Tacoma owner's manual, Section 4-5. Toyota's tire care section also says not to use tire sizes other than those it recommends and not to mix tires of different makes, models or tread patterns. A taller tire changes gearing, which the effective gear ratio calculator shows. More detail is in the Tacoma tire size guide and the spare tire size chart.

Tacoma Tire Diameter and Speedometer Formulas
Sidewall
Sidewall (mm) = width x aspect / 100. For 265/70R17: 265 x 0.70 = 185.5 mm.
Overall diameter
Diameter = rim x 25.4 + 2 x sidewall = 431.8 + 371.0 = 802.8 mm = 31.61 in.
Revolutions per mile
Circumference = pi x 31.61 = 99.30 in, and revs per mile = 63,360 / 99.30 = 638.
Speedometer error
Error % = (stock diameter / new diameter - 1) x 100. From 245/70R17 to 265/70R17 the diameter is 3.6% larger, so the speedometer reads low and an indicated 60 mph is about 62.2 mph.
Axle height gain
Diameter change / 2 = change at the axle line. From 265/70R17 (31.61 in) to 265/70R18 (32.61 in) is +1.00 in diameter, +0.50 in at the axle line. It is not the same as lowest-point ground clearance.
