    With the recent loss of my Tundra, I'm getting a 2014 access cab Tacoma TRD off road. I'm keeping the 275/65r18's so an 18" wheel I'm buying.
    From the searching I've done so far 4.5" back spacing seems preferred. But the rims I'm looking at are the MB TKO's from discount tire direct and they are 0 offset 9" wide, would these work and would the tread stick out passed the fender flares?
    Thanks for the help, I know tons about Tundras but not so much about the Tacoma. I want to order some wheels and lift asap!

    I guess trying to get a 18" wheel with the right specs isn't so easy. 16" seems to have way more selection. Am I wrong?

    I think 17s have more tire options than 16s, could be wrong but it seems that way.

    I've got 16s and every deal I find on tires seems to be for 17s, grass is always greener on the otherside :notsure:

    You may have a point, but there's a lot of wicket builds with 16"
