Of course your on the wrong coast

 

Ha! If I was over there, I'd stud these and keep them for winter tires!

 

Any pics of the front and rear? Looking to see how tucked in the fender well they are. Or if they stick out at all.

 

I'm looking to do light off-roading, camping, Mexico surf trips with my 2004 dual cab prerunner.

I'm running some stock wheels of a TRD sport truck. Do you guys think this size tire is best since I have a 2.7 motor? I've looked through a lot of the pages and see a lot of guys with a 4 banger running this size.

Currently running 265/65/17 Brigestone dueler HT's that came when I bought the truck.

 

I'm a 2nd gen but I didn't notice a difference going from a 265/75/16 to the 255's. However it should be noted that I went from good year kevlars in the 265's which is a mud tire, to a all terrain tire (cooper st max) in the 255's.

 

I'm constantly averaging 18.9 for my 200 mile trip home from school. And thats usually with 10-20 min stuck in heavy traffic. I'm pleased especially with the lift and armor.

 

None right now but they are 16x8 -10bs and they stick the toyos out about half inch looks great really and they don't rub at all

 

i feel like an idiot asking this but i don't want to dig, and i forgot. lol. my wheels have 4.5 backspace. that means mine will be further tucked under the fender right? your -10bs pushes the wheel out correct?

 

I think maybe I posted wrong and my offset is -10 making my backspace around 4.3ish

 

16x8 -10 would have a 4.3" backspace.

 

right. so technically my 4.5"bs will make the wheel stick out .2" further than his 4.3". or is it the other way around?

 

You will sit .2" inboard. Backspace is the measurement from the inside wheel edge to the mounting surface. The lower the number, the further away from midline the wheel sits.

 

post a pic of how much they stick out whenever you get a chance! would like to see

 

@Patch92 look at this. Give you better idea of bs and offset numbers

Off topic, but can you please tell me who made that aluminum bed rack?? By the way...good looking truck.

 

Has anyone found a 255/85 in load range less than E? I like the size of the tire, but 10 ply is rough. I'm not out in puncture-land enough to justify rolling around on super thick sidewall tires year round.
