255/80/r17s pizza cutter thread

Initially had plenty of plastic rub but no cab mount rub. Caster at 2.3 with stock UCAs and 5100/885’s. After heat gun and minor trimming I have no rubbing at full flex.

SEMA’s and 255/80/17 Falken Wildpeaks

 

You got spacers behind them? I wouldn't imagine them rubbing even stock with no lift

 

Beautiful truck! I hope they bring that color to the tacomas eventually.

 

8.5 in

 

No wheel spacers. 265/70/17’s fit without rub most of the time, but the 33’s, even without turning, touch the fender liner at a point in the suspension up-travel. Nothing a little bit of work won’t fix though

 

I was just curioue I know a few guys that put them ontheir 3rd gens with sock suspension and only had palstic trimming. Of course I knowguys that had them on 2nd gens with stock suspensions and no rub but they rubbed on mine until I did the lift

 

Mine rubbed on the liner in a few spots and on mud flap as well.
I used a heat gun on most of the plastic, cut some and also cut and tied off my mud flaps (Plasticolor from Amazon).

Mine rubbed pretty bad before the lift, required work to stop being annoying

 

Got any other pics of tires? Close up/front/back etc. TIA.

Thanks Marcmtb1! Those look great! I guess you are happy w performance?

 

They take a beating....in Atlanta traffic. Funny as that sounds, its truth. I've locked them up on dry pavement and hit numerous pot holes. Neither have caused any issues.

The size and weight from the stock Goodyears caused a very noticeable hit in acceleration and city gas mileage, but I expected that. The harshness of the E rating isn't there. I think they are nearly as quiet and smooth as stock. Having my new suspension helps I'm sure.

 

I’m coming from BFG Muds 255/85/16. I’m counting the days to quiet smoothness! Thanks again and cheers!

 

Mine definitely rub as well

 

Who wants a slice? 255/85/16 BFG KM2

I love the stance, had no interest in changing the suspension on the Pro until it needs to be. So this tire seemed to be the size. I drive like a bat out of hell, and was worried about loosing a slight bit of width, but they are just fine and don’t do anything unexpected.

I put these on after getting seriously stuck in my AT3s. I pull an Offroad trailer, and it became obvious I need more traction, especially going down a slippery slope with weight behind me.

I notice the road noise, but I have always had MTs most of the time. I got these for $100 a tire from a buddy, so I had to put them on.

I will be trying the Toyo RTs next in this size if they make them, as I have those on my FJC, and love them.

 

Running the Cooper St maxx right? How are they in heavy snow storms out there in Colorado? Any issues with them? Truck looks awesome!

 

Anybody run BFG KO2 LT245/75R16's? I'm curious to hear personal experiences . . .

 

Yes sir!! They are awesome, there has yet to be conditions that i havent loved them. They clean out well, do great in the snow and ice (deep or shallow), awesome in the mud, grea ton road manners. Best tire ive ever had. Ive had AT2, KO and KO2, Toyo MT, and duratracs. These are better in every fashion. Wearing awesome too!

 

Really? Better than ko2 in the snow and Duratracs? You got me thinking I may go tall skinny 255/85/16...just need to figure out spare tire situation

 

I just put 255/80/17 Toyo Open Country’s on my stock suspension OR with the tr4 SEMA wheels. Normal driving there is no rub, but there definitely is if the suspension in compressed and at about 3/4 lock.

 

Not really what you're looking for but I just moved from the stock TRD OR Goodyear Adventure 265/70R16's to BFG AT K02 LT255/75R17 on SEMA's. Same driving conditions for past 2 weeks and only noticed about 1/2 mpg drop on truck computer. Considering the taller tire rotating less I'm looking at a little less than that.
