Going Bigger - 5th Gen Tire Fitment Guide
This thread is intended to be a reference point for all of you that are looking to change tire size. First here are a few links to get you on the right path:
http://www.tirerack.com/ This link will help with selection of tires.
Tire Size Calculator - Compare Tire Sizes This link will confirm below chart data.
Wheel Backspace & Offset - Truck Wheel Sizes - Truckin' Magazine This article will help you understand the concept of wheel offset and backspacing.
http://www.tyresizecalculator.com/ty...ace-calculator This is a chart on offset and backspacing.
I have included known data regarding our 5th Gen OEM wheels in the table below. Have fun and happy hunting!
***UPDATE*** Added OEM TE wheel backspacing information

Therein lies the problem...SR5 is 7" wide wheel and a 285/70/17 tire is rated for a minimum of 7.5" wheel..could have something to do with it.

This is where the wheel width is going to be a problem. Wheel width requirement varies by tire make. For example, the Nitto Dura Grappler in a 285/70R17 is rated for a 7-9" wheel width.

Easily fixed. Poof! I put "suggested" on the wheel width.

Haha, it wasn't my intention to change things up. The reality is, people need to do their research and merely use this as a guide. I know that's your intention but you and I both know that people will take this as written in stone.
And to make things worse, if you compare a 285/70/17 BFG A/T to a Nitto Trail Grap you get 32.8 and 33.15 respectively.
I just hope people are more intelligent than I'm giving them credit for.

After over a decade in IT, I can assure you they are not.

So I think I have figured out how to help some of you who have trouble with wheel offset and backspacing. I am working on some real world examples that I will post when completed. These will be common fitments with detailed explanations so they can be used as a template for future applications.

So I'm guessing if I plan to lift my runner, but I'm going to get tires first (limtied on funds, so it will be awhile before I lift it) then I should go with 285/70/17?

I think you have to look deeper into the tire brand specific dimensions. As mentioned above a Nitto vs BF Goodrich in 285/70/17. There doesn't seem to be uniformity in the tire industry with regard to the tire size specs.
