Sold- YES THEY ARE REALLY SOLD.. tires $100 for 4

Give me some tire options while we're on the subject, please.
Totally stock OR.
Go...

 

The ones you have...... you’re welcome

 

Cooper or falken

 

Kinda what I was thinking.

 

I put 4 new Coopers on my sons OR. Shortly thereafter, he sold his Tacoma, for what he calls, his dad car. Lol.

 

I had coopers on my 2nd gen and loved them.

 

Funny guy

 

In person, the difference between 255 and 285 is hard to even tell.

 

I wish my dad would put tires on my car... he laughs at me when I ask

 

You sure about that???

I run Cooper ST Max 285's and haven't seen a 255/80 with a similar width.

 

18 inch Firestones with new rims.

 

Looks like a 4 mm offset on those according to my research.

 

K, so that’s what the 4mm represents. I thought it might be, but wasn’t sure. Because there isn’t a minus sign, I am going to assume it’s a +4 offset, what ever that means. That will be tonight’s lesson.

 

This wheel is designed to re-use the OE 17" Tires P265/70R17 113S

 

K, so the positive off set pulls the wheel closer to the truck, or more under, where as negative push it out.

 

I believe so.. that thread link I posted has a diagram in the first post that shows what positive and negative offset do.

 

I figured these would be a minimal change from OEM. The sport came with P265/65/R17, which is why I can gain a little height with the 70s.

Thanks for all the help, I am making progress in not buying the wrong tire.

 

I’ll check it out.


This is what I found
WHAT IS WHEEL OFFSET AND BACKSPACING?
So you’ve managed to save up the cash to start building your truck. First things first, you end up searching the internet trying to find your bolt pattern, backspacing, hub size, and more. But more importantly, you’re trying to figure out what wheels and tires are going to fit your truck. Does diameter matter? Does width matter? Unfortunately, it’s just not that easy. Things like backspacing and offset can be as unique as the wheel that matches your truck. So how can you be sure what you want will fit and look exactly how you want it to? That’s where we come in.

Now, If you aren’t the reading type and just want a quick answer - You can always search our fitment gallery by your Year/ Make/ Model here.

If you want to become a subject matter expert, let's dive into this.

Wheel sizes are normally listed as 22x12 -51mm or 18x9 +25mm, etc, but what do all of those numbers even mean?


The first number listed is the diameter in inches. So a 22x12 -51mm would be a 22” diameter wheel. The second set of numbers listed is the width in inches, so a 22x12 -51mm would be a 12” wide wheel. The third set of numbers is where it gets tricky. That number is the offset of the wheel in mm. So a 22x12 -51mm would be a -51mm offset.

So there’s wheel diameter, wheel width, and a “positive” or “negative” offset. What is offset? Offset is the distance in millimeters (mm) + or - from the hub (where you bolt the wheel to the vehicle) to the true center of the wheel.

A “negative” offset is where the mounting surface of the wheel is closer to the inside (brake side) of the wheel. In the truck world, many custom truck wheels come in aggressive negative offsets. The more negative the offset, the more aggressive stance you will get. This means the wheels will “poke” outside of the fenders. “Poke” or “Stance” is when the wheel and tire stick outside of your fender. A negative offset is what can create a larger lip or concave style, which will push the tire out.

A “positive” offset is where the mounting surface of the wheel is closer to the outside (fender side) of the wheel. This pushes the wheel in toward the brakes which can “sink” the tire and wheel into the fender well opening.

 

Wow. Thanks, mang! I am totally screenshotting this, because this is the first time someone has actually explained it without the technical jargon!
