    I’m currently running mine at 31-32 on the front and 29-30 on the rear (front end is a little heavier).

    Very minimal weight. I have a small tool box in the bed. Probably weighs about 60 lbs.

    With minimal. I'm mostly stock except under armor but no bumpers or anything fancy. My bed carries about 300lbs year round.

    Finally jumped on the skinny train! After all the great reviews on them, decided to go with the Cooper ST Max 255/85R16. Fit great on the TRD Pro wheels, no lift. Glad I did these. Parked it next to my friends Pro for a comparison.

    Ride is awesome. Great on the highway, less jarring on Vermont roads. All around better ride.

    I'm going to buy aftermarket, aluminum wheels for my 2012 Base RC. I've pretty much made up my mind that I'll get 235/85R16 tires this time however it might be smart to get wheels that offer freedom of variety for future tire options, if possible.
    What wheel dimensions should I get? Backspacing? Offset? etc?

    I think an 8" wheel gives you the best flexibility. Maybe 7.5 if you can find aftermarkets in that size.

    235 you will need 7" wide or less. 285 you will want 8" minimum.

    Well this is unfortunate.
    Seems that I'm not going to be able to do 235/85R16 after all.
    Tirerack.com doesn't have any aftermarket 16" aluminum wheels under 8" wide for my Tacoma. 7.5-8" seems like a solid all around width for a variety of tire sizes.
    Going to look into 17" wheels and common size skinny tires that'll fit without a lift or removal of the mudflaps.
    This should have been so much easier.

    I never found any either, so I went with 2004 OEM steels for bead lock use. The 04 stock aluminum ones are 7in wide.
