2nd gen Tacoma (2005-2015)
3 in suspension lift| Setup | Modeled ceiling | 285/70R17 |
|---|---|---|
| Stock height | 265/70R16 (~30.6 in) | Over the ceiling |
| Leveling kit (1-2 in) | 265/75R16 (~31.6 in) | Over the ceiling |
| 3 in suspension lift | 285/75R16 (33s, about 32.8 in) | Inside the ceiling · published tier |
285/70R17 at 32.7 in is past the modeled stock-height ceiling for a 2nd gen Tacoma (265/70R16 (~30.6 in)), so the conservative read this page publishes is a 3 in suspension lift. At that tier the matrix models 285/75R16 (33s, about 32.8 in), and the clearance work it lists is fender liner trim and cab mount chop for full articulation, with gearing flagged at 4.56-4.88.
The candidate table is the looser of the two for 285/70R17: it clears the size at Level / 1-2 in with minor changes, which the 2nd gen Tacoma ceiling above does not support. That table rates a size on its own terms — the rule-set's own generation-agnostic description of the size reads "The classic Tacoma 33-inch discussion size on 17-inch wheels." — with no generation column to narrow it, so where the two disagree this page publishes the matrix tier.
One sourcing caveat for the 2nd gen Tacoma: our per-year fitment rows start at 2017, so nothing in this repo assigns 285/70R17 to a 2005-2015 trim. The 17-inch family we list for that span is a long-running community-documented pattern, not a verified per-year spec, and the ceilings above are the estimator's rule-set for the generation rather than measurements from a 2005-2015 truck.
