Will 295/70R17 fit a stock Tacoma?

Not in our fitment model: a 2nd gen Tacoma needs more than any tier our matrix models, a 3rd gen Tacoma needs a 4-6 in lift, and a 4th gen Tacoma needs a 3 in suspension lift. Our candidate table and our generation matrix disagree about 295/70R17 on a 2nd gen Tacoma, a 3rd gen Tacoma, and a 4th gen Tacoma, and the answer above is the conservative side of that disagreement. Both are modeled estimates rather than installs we measured, and lower-offset wheels or spacers can undo any of them.

How tall and wide is a 295/70R17 tire?

295/70R17 works out to 33.3 in of overall diameter and 11.6 in of section width, with 8.1 in of sidewall over a 17-inch wheel. The math is the standard one: 295 mm of section width at a 70 percent aspect ratio gives the sidewall, and overall diameter is the 17-inch rim plus twice that sidewall. At that diameter the tire turns about 606 revolutions per mile, and a mounted tire can measure a little off these numbers depending on the model and the rim width it is fitted to.

Is 295/70R17 bigger than 255/80R17?

295/70R17 is 0.2 in taller and 1.6 in wider than 255/80R17: 33.3 in against 33.1 in of overall diameter, and 11.6 in against 10.0 in of section width. In revolutions per mile that is 606 against 610, so a speedometer calibrated for 295/70R17 would read 59.6 mph of true speed at an indicated 60 once 255/80R17 was fitted. Both sit on 17-inch wheels, so moving between them is a tire purchase rather than a wheel purchase.

Does any Toyota Tacoma come with 295/70R17 from the factory?

No. Across the 2017-2026 model years our fitment data covers, no Tacoma trim row leaves the factory on 295/70R17; our candidate set carries it as aggressive instead. That matters for two practical reasons: there is no door-placard pressure figure written for 295/70R17 on a Tacoma, and the speedometer in any truck you fit it to was calibrated for a different diameter than 33.3 in.

What 295/70R17 measures, which Tacoma trims ship it from the factory, and what our fitment model says it takes to run it by generation.

Will it fit

No Tacoma ships 295/70R17 from the factory in our 2017-2026 fitment data — it is an upgrade size, filed in our candidate set as aggressive: a wide 33-inch-plus fitment for lifted trucks with clearance work.

No generation on 17-inch wheels clears 295/70R17 at stock height in our model — it needs more than any tier our matrix models on a 2nd gen Tacoma; a 4-6 in lift on a 3rd gen Tacoma; a 3 in suspension lift on a 4th gen Tacoma.
295/70R17 measures 33.3 in tall and 11.6 in wide, with 8.1 in of sidewall on a 17-inch wheel and about 606 revolutions per mile.
Our per-size candidate table asks for 2-3 in lift with trim as needed before fitting 295/70R17; the tiers on this page publish whichever of that and the generation ceiling is stricter.

Diameter: 33.26 in
Width: 11.61 in
Sidewall: 8.13 in

Why 295/70R17 is an upgrade size

No Tacoma in our 2017-2026 fitment data leaves the factory on 295/70R17. It reaches Tacomas as an aftermarket choice, which is why this page leads with what it takes to fit rather than with which trim wears it. Our candidate set files 295/70R17 as aggressive: a wide 33-inch-plus fitment for lifted trucks with clearance work.

The nearest factory size on the same 17-inch wheel is 265/70R17 at 31.6 in, which our data records on 5 Tacoma rows (TRD PreRunner (2024-2026), TRD Off-Road (2024-2026), and TRD PreRunner / TRD Off-Road gas (2025)). Against it 295/70R17 is 1.7 in taller and 1.2 in wider — the gap the fit tiers below are really about.

Will 295/70R17 fit a Tacoma?

295/70R17 is a 17-inch size, so the generations it can go on without new wheels are the ones our size families run on 17-inch rims: 2nd gen Tacoma (2005-2015), 3rd gen Tacoma (2016-2023), and 4th gen Tacoma (2024-2026). Two sources in this repo have an opinion about 295/70R17 on each of them — the per-generation clearance matrix behind our max-tire estimator, and the per-size candidate table behind the recommender — and where they disagree, the stricter of the two is what you read below.

2nd gen Tacoma (2005-2015)

Past every tier our matrix models for a 2nd gen Tacoma

Setup	Modeled ceiling	295/70R17
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)	Over the ceiling

Our fitment matrix does not model a 2nd gen Tacoma that clears 295/70R17. Even at 3 in suspension lift it tops out at 285/75R16 (33s, about 32.8 in), and 295/70R17 stands 33.3 in — 0.5 in taller than that tier's ceiling. Read it as out of range for this generation rather than a build with a longer parts list.

The candidate table is the looser of the two for 295/70R17: it clears the size at 2-3 in lift with trim as needed, 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 "A wide 33-inch-plus fitment for lifted trucks with clearance work." — 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 295/70R17 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.

3rd gen Tacoma (2016-2023)

4-6 in lift

Setup	Modeled ceiling	295/70R17
Stock height	265/70R17 (~31.6 in)	Over the ceiling
Leveling kit (1-2 in)	275/70R17 (~32.2 in)	Over the ceiling
3 in suspension lift	285/70R17 (33s, about 32.7 in)	Over the ceiling
4-6 in lift	35x12.50R17 (35s, about 35.0 in)	Inside the ceiling · published tier

295/70R17 at 33.3 in is past the modeled stock-height ceiling for a 3rd gen Tacoma (265/70R17 (~31.6 in)), so the conservative read this page publishes is a 4-6 in lift. At that tier the matrix models 35x12.50R17 (35s, about 35.0 in), and the clearance work it lists is cab mount chop / relocation, pinch weld, high fender-liner trim, and firewall and front-bumper trimming, with gearing flagged at 4.88-5.29.

The same disagreement as on the 2nd gen Tacoma applies to 295/70R17 here: the candidate table clears it at 2-3 in lift with trim as needed, the 3rd gen Tacoma ceiling does not reach that far, and the tier above is the matrix's conservative one.

4th gen Tacoma (2024-2026)

3 in suspension lift

Setup	Modeled ceiling	295/70R17
Stock height	285/70R17 (33s, about 32.7 in)	Over the ceiling
Leveling kit (1-2 in)	285/75R17 (skinny 34s, about 34.0 in)	Inside the ceiling
3 in suspension lift	35x12.50R17 (35s, about 35.0 in)	Inside the ceiling · published tier
4-6 in lift	37x12.50R17 (37s, about 37.0 in)	Inside the ceiling

295/70R17 at 33.3 in is past the modeled stock-height ceiling for a 4th gen Tacoma (285/70R17 (33s, about 32.7 in)), so the conservative read this page publishes is a 3 in suspension lift. At that tier the matrix models 35x12.50R17 (35s, about 35.0 in), and the clearance work it lists is crash-plate removal, forward-caster alignment, and minor plastic trim, with gearing flagged at 4.88-5.29.

Our two sources disagree here and the conservative one wins: the generation matrix would clear 295/70R17 on a 4th gen Tacoma at leveling kit (1-2 in), while the per-size candidate table rates it 2-3 in lift with trim as needed. The tier above is the candidate table's, and the rule-set's own description of the size is the reasoning it gives: a wide 33-inch-plus fitment for lifted trucks with clearance work.

Full 4th-gen tire size guide

Every tier above is modeled output of our own fitment rule-set applied to 295/70R17, not an install anyone here measured: wheel offset, alignment, mud flaps, and the tire model's real moulded width all move where 295/70R17 starts rubbing. Where the two sources behind those tiers disagree, the number you see is the conservative one.

295/70R17 vs the nearest Tacoma sizes

These are the 4 sizes closest to 295/70R17 in overall diameter that also run 17-inch wheels, so every swap in the table is a tire change rather than a wheel change. The set runs from 285/70R17 at 32.7 in to 295/70R17 at 33.3 in, and none of them is a factory Tacoma size. Speedometer error is calculated against 295/70R17 at 33.3 in — the size the truck would be calibrated for if it wore this page's tire.

Size	Diameter	Width	Sidewall	Revs / mile	Speedo at an indicated 60
285/70R17	32.7 in	11.2 in	7.9 in	617	-1.66% · 59.0 mph
33x10.5R17	33.0 in	10.5 in	8.0 in	611	-0.78% · 59.5 mph
33x12.5R17	33.0 in	12.5 in	8.0 in	611	-0.78% · 59.5 mph
255/80R17	33.1 in	10.0 in	8.0 in	610	-0.59% · 59.6 mph
295/70R17 (this size)	33.3 in	11.6 in	8.1 in	606	Baseline

That last column is the error you would carry after the swap, before any recalibration: fitting 255/80R17 in place of 295/70R17 puts true speed at 59.6 mph when the speedometer still reads 60. Every alternative here stays inside the 3 percent window our speedometer calculator treats as the safe band against 295/70R17. Width moves on its own axis: the widest of them, 33x12.5R17, is 0.9 in wider than 295/70R17, and section width is what reaches the fender liner and the upper control arm first.
