    Hey guys what do you think 2010 DC long bed TRD Sport 4x4 black
    Want to get rims for my truck right now I have the stock 17" rims on my truck and just got nitto terra grapplers 265/70/17
    Should I go with 17 inch rims or 18 inch rims and if I do go with the 18 inch rims what size tires do I go with I don't want to lift a truck
    Biggest question is what off set to go with I want them to stick out some to look beefy

    Stay with 17s. Tires are lighter with more options available and larger sidewall is better for off-road. It depends on the wheel width, I think the sports have an offset of 32 with a 7.5" wheel. To move a 7.5" wheel out 1" subtract 25.4 from the offset and you get 6.6 offset, which is about what I am running on the same size tire.

    9" is insanely wide. You realize you cannot mount your tire size on a 9" wheel in spec. You really need 8" or less.

    Actually, I checked the tire specs and they will allow a 9" wheel max. That is still very wide and for most tires that size it will be out of spec. Also not good for airing down off road.

    An offset of 13 on those wheels should push the outer edge out 1.25" over stock. That would be at or just past the edge of the flare.
