Despite being outnumbered by larger trucks such as the F-150 or the Silverado, the Toyota Tacoma is a popular mid-sized truck. Outdoor and off-road enthusiasts especially love the Tacoma TRD Sport trim. This is because of its rugged appearance, off-road capability, and versatility.
To make it easier for you to get your truck ready for the road, we’re going to break down some of the most popular tire, wheel, and suspension options for the 4th generation Toyota Tacoma (2016-presents).

Leveling Kit Installation
A Tacoma levelling kit is the most popular route, especially for outdoor-oriented Tacomas. They are more functional and less stressful than other suspension components.
This common tire and wheel specs list is for people interested in riding on a levelling system.
Wheels that Fit with Leveling kits
We see people using levelling kits for a range of wheel sizes, typically between…
– 17×8.5″
– 17×9″
– 18×9″
Depending on what tire size you have chosen, you may need to trim the bumper around the wheel size and the specific stock trim underneath the bumper. This will prevent any rubbing while turning or driving.
Because it uses a smaller wheel, this is an extremely common off-road setup. This allows for larger tires. A larger tire means better grip when you’re outdoors.
We understand that you might not want to take your truck apart, so be aware of the size of the wheels relative to the tires. These are the most common examples we see. If you think of a levelling kit, this may be a good place to start your build.
