    Trying to locate some solid info, does the stock 2016 TRD OR rims, with tall and skinnies have any rubbing issues? Ive seen several threads where people have aftermarket rims, but if I do not have to replace my stock rims to fit these off-roading that would be swell and money saved.

    If they do not really work, is there an ideal RIM that suits these well?

    The first post on this thread has a lot of information and includes a list of other threads you can check out that talk about using skinny tires.

    So much sexy in that setup. :drool:

    I'm currently on the hunt for 1st gen taco/tundra steelies with 4.5" BS to mimic this look. Considering going full NATO and color match to my paint, too. Gonna do the research and see whether 235s or 255s will serve me best.

    No full truck photos at the moment, at least current photos. I have a few other minor mods that I'm currently working on.
    Should have updated photos after this weekend.

    Looks good.

    That's weird you say Coopers are quieter than KO2s. I had ST Maxx Coops before my Ko2s and thought they(STs) were louder. Not to mention they wouldn't balance and would cause my truck to dart to the right if I let go of the steering wheel., which is why i ended up with the KO2s.
    I like the Coops look tho. I guess I got a bad set.

    Hey guys I dont think this classifies as skinny but seeing some of these sizes maybe i can get a answer. Im looking to run 265/70/18. They Measure 32.6 inch. Will they fit after i lift 2"? Im seeing guys doing 255/80/17 which are 33"
