Rims and tire suggestions for my 2016

I do like those a lot actually. I have never heard of icon. I will have to look into those. I was just trying to decide if I was going to like the matte grey on my white taco

 

Those look good. I have seen a few lately with the bronze

 

There's a whole thread on them on here.

Icon is known for the suspension systems, but they started doing wheels too and they look really good to me.

 

No mods to my truck now but I am looking into getting some new wheels and tires and I will be putting on a leveling kit. So I am not real sure by what would fit without having to trim fenders. I would like to have a little wider wheels but don't want my tires sticking out past my stock fender flares. Any help is appreciated!

 

What you'd be searching for is a 17"x8" with 0mm offset and 4.5" back spacing. It will position the wheel over a little from stock, but just tucked under the fender, the tire will sit flush with the fender. Very minimal to zero rubbing or trimming involved (does vary slightly dependent on the tires).
4.5" backspacing is the "sweet spot" enough room to fit a bigger tire, but not pushed out so far to where it creates a headache for you. Some Method wheels for example are a 17"x8.5" with 0mm offset and 4.75" back spacing, these will work as well but don't go any higher on the back spacing if you have interest into maybe one day down the road upgrade to larger tires.
I'd steer clear from 17"x9" wheels to avoid rubbing and having the wheel and tire stick out past the fender.

 

I've been loving the falken wildpeaks! Mine are a 265/75r16 that I paid about $125 a tire for. Sitting on method race wheels nv's, similar to the ray 10's except they are actually in stock.

 

Right now the rims I picked out they only have a plus seven. They guy is telling me that they will work good. Wondering what you thought. I'm looking at getting 275/70r17/10 k02's.

 

What's the width of the rim?

 

8.50

 

So a 8.5" width and +7mm offset yields 5" back spacing. A 265 will fit, but a 275 will be tight. I'd ask them if you can test fit a wheel with the tire first.

Is it a Fuel wheel you're looking at? I've seen that offset selection available through them before.

 

Yes as a matter of a fact it is a fuel wheel I have been looking at. I am putting a leveling kit on but that is it

 

Which Fuel wheel?

 

The better choice would be the -6mm offset. It'll poke out from the fender a hair, about 1/4" but gives you the correct inside clearance that's needed.


I can get you a great deal as well, $720 on a set of 4. Currently 8 in stock.
Free shipping to the lower 48 states. Sales tax charged if you live in either CA or OH.

You'd need lug nuts as well, and I can get you those if you'd like too.

Edit: That price is available today, don't know just how long that'll last. But if needed I can PM you and save a quote which would hold it for two weeks. Would just need some basic information (name, address, that kinda stuff).

 

Since we have a great tire guy @eccracer104 able to answer some question i wanted to ask one. I’m getting some 17’s probably ko2’s or duratracs tires and wanted to know if i can run a 275/70/17 E rating on stock suspension or if i should just get the 265/70/17 with the C rating and know i probably wont have any trimming?
Rim info
17x8.5
-10 offset
4.5 backspacing

 

I'd opt for the 265. If you wanted the 275 you'd more than likely have some trimming to do with the width and offset of that wheel. Also unless you're really offroading the truck the added weight and stiffness of the E load tire will make for a firmer/rougher ride compared to the C load. I'm running E load rated tires, I'm happy with them, but I know a lot of TW prefers the C load for the extra flexibility in the sidewall.

 

Thank you for wealth of knowledge that spews forth threw your fingers! Ill stick with the 265/70/17 with the c loads for now. Save some weight and maybe get a tiny tiny boost in gas mileage. Now just have to wait for the rims to get here, but at least i can shop tires for now.

 

Haha you're very welcome! I learned via TW so it's only fair I share

Also with those wheels I feel you're obligated to post pics!

 

Oh i will, they aren’t due till march though. @Synergy001 and i live close to each other and were talking about getting together and take some pics when our sets get in. It will be worth the wait i think.
