    Does anyone know what the specs are on the factory 2016 Limited 18" wheels? Pretty sure they are 6x139.7, 8 or 8.5" wide, with approx +25-30 offset, and not sure on backspacing. Can anyone confirm the official spec? I can't seem to find it anywhere (lots of info for gen2 18" wheels on this site, but nothing on the gen3 that I can find).

    Also, has anyone successfully mounted 265/65/18 AT tires on a 2016, 18x9 wheels, stock suspension/lift, with no rubbing (preferably with mudflaps)? And if so, how much clearance (enough to avoid snow/ice issues during the winter months here)? Again, lots of info on this topic on the gen2's, but nothing on the gen3's).

    I'm about to pull the trigger on a TRD 4x4 Sport DCLB. I'm not a fan of the factory 17" wheels and tires, I'd like to try and fill out the wheel wells a little more. The truck will be driven on road 99% of the time with lots of highway driving. So looking into a set of 18x9 wheels (currently looking at XD Monsters in +18 offset, or Black Iron Renegades in +10 offset), and either 265/60/18 tires (same spec as stock), or 265/65/18 tires if they'll fit. I prefer the beefier look of the 265/65/18's. Oh, and I don't want to do a lift.

    Any input?

    Great, thank you, very helpful. Didn't realize the factory 18's would be so narrow at 7.5 seeing as most aftermarket 18's are 9".

    Any input from anyone on mounting 265/65/18's without rubbing on the gen3's?

    most tires will fit rims between 7.5 to 9 anyway so it wont matter.

    the big issue I see from Toyota is when they use rims that are 7". the selection of 7" tires is so absurdly small and $$$ its easier to just buy another set of rims that go 7.5-9.

    that is the issue I have with my 20" rims on my 4runner LE. 20x7 rims and the tires that fit 7" rims comes down to only 2 tires I can pick from. and god they are expensive and crap after 2-3 yrs of use.

    Great, thanks again for the input.

    Still patiently waiting for someone to try mounting up some 265/65/18's on their gen3. It appears as though nobody has tried this yet...

    Just ordered 18" xd monsters and nitto trail grapplers 265 for my 2016 thru discount tire. Putting them on next week, I'll let you know how it goes. New to this whole thing so I've relied heavily on advice on this forum as well as the guys at discount.

    I have Method 18X9 with -12 offset which is 4.5 inch backspace. Running Toyo AT 275/70/18 tires. They will be installed tomorrow with my Bilstein 5100 shocks set at .85 with 887 OME springs. This will give a 3 inch lift. A 3 leaf AAL will be out back. @ridez has this same set up and has no issues.

    i have 265/65 - 17's (Cooper ST Maxx E load), and the diameter is about 1" more on the 18, which puts it very close or identical to 265/70-17 size wise, both have a 31.6" diameter. that's a big crowd to ask if you need fitment guidance. just FYI.
