New tire options

so I’ve seen the 285/70/17 and 285/75/16 option. I’m waiting for my new lift now so I’m starting to look for new tire options. I’m running 18s. Does anyone have 285/75/18s or have any opinions on them?

Current set up 275/65/18
With a 2” level

 

Those wheels are sweet man! What are they?

 

bcforged. Two piece forged wheel. Check them out. They’ll be doing my lift also I’ll keep everyone posted on when they’re finalized and for sale soon here.

 

Wow.....285/75/18....that’s almost a 35” tire. Anything can fit with enough trimming, but I’d think you’d want to re-gear for those big boots.

 

So you think a 285/70/18 would be a better option. I only plan on running a 3” lift max. I’ve seen dudes run like 2.75” with 295/70/17 and that’s the look I want.

 

You definitely want to be looking at something like this when choosing: Have you done a cab-Mount chop or any trimming on that truck?

It it well known these trucks lack a little low-end torque. As you go up in tire size (and weight), without re-gearing, the truck will need more torque to get rolling and your driving experience will suffer (sluggish).

I know there’s some Tacos running really big tires out there, but I believe most guys would re-gear for 35’s.

33’s is the largest I know people fit without trimming, but it typically involved a lift, and not much articulation off road.

 

Arent those forged wheels super light and really not much rubber with the 18in wheel? Would regear be necessary?

Not debating. Its an honest question due to my lack of knowledge.

 

Yeah I have 0 rubbing right now. I’m not apposed to some trimming. I had to on my last truck. But thank you. Yeah I’m not really trying to get into the 35s range just want a little more meat on my 18s

 

It’s not just the weight. It’s also the overall outer diameter of the wheel. The truck is moving farther, faster on a larger wheel. The diameter of the larger wheel and tire has more leverage acting against the drivetrain. Hope that makes sense.

 

They’re light yeah and just as strong.

 

Stronger. Who makes them?

NVM just read the post. They look great on your truck.

 

Bcforged. Check them out. Quality work. Known the guys my whole life. Local to Florida. But do business all over the world.

 

Thanks dude. They offer a wide variety of finishes and coatings. Mine are brushed and then cleared over.

 

Dude those things look excellent. I've considered tossing these on the pro, but I dont really wanna run 20's on it. Your wheels are literally the best looking wheels I've seen on a 3rd gen.

 

Lol I love my wheels but everything’s for sale homie. Love the color of the pro btw.

 

Only the best color there is

 

You right you right

 

To each there own, but I'd say you are hard-pressed to improve on the current look. Awesome wheels, fantastic proportions; and functional as is!

 

Thank you for the positive feedback. Everyone really. Didn’t think this post would be nearly this responsive. Yeah like I said I do love me wheels. And don’t intend on getting rid of them or anything but do want to go bigger with the tires as I will be getting rid of my level and going with an actual lift. Also been looking at 33x12.50s if anyone has any input on that.
