Default Plus Size Tires

Good Afternoon,

I am getting ready to buy a 2016 GX and I am wondering if I can go up one or two sizes on tires. I will be using the same BFGoodrich All-Terrain TA KO2's (that I have on my 2000 4Runner in 265/75 Series as opposed to the 265/70 from the factory, which works perfectly). I am wondering if I can do the same thing to the GX with no other mods. I will be doing some trail driving and beach driving in Florida. Thank you.

1/2 inch increase in radius should not be a problem. Worst case you will have to deal with a screw in the front which can be pushing in with a heat gun.

I think he meant removing a screw and using a heat gun if necessary. I recall a heat gun being used by Koz way back here.
