    Crazy how different each truck/wheel/tire combo is. I had to do all sorts of trimming to get mine to fit. Did you not even have to move your washer reservoir?

    I totally forgot that could be an issue. I relocated my washer reservoir a few years ago when I got a trail gear front bumper.

    I like them well enough. I have no experience to be able to compare them to anything else though. I don't know exactly how much lift, but the front end is at max preload on the drivers side, a bit less on the passenger side.

    Thanks.

    Front- 6112’s on the 2nd notch with 650# springs (for bumper, skids and winch). Lift is 2.25” as I was only looking for some lift (cv angles are good and no boot wear). JBA UCAs with about 3.2ish degrees of caster.
    Rear- full Dakar leaf pack with the OME aal. It’s closer to 4” of lift because I hate bro lean and camping set up has lots of weight in the back.

    Aloha everybody! looking to get some skinnies for my next set of tires and was wondering if anybody has 255/85/16 on rims with -25mm offset on a 3rd gen? Been looking around a bunch and have yet to see one. Most people running the 0 offset. Curious to see how much work I would have to do, specifically on a CMC to fit these tires. Any feedback is appreciated! Currently have Icon stage 4 on 265/75/16 St Maxxx

    Running Cooper ST Maxx 255/85/R16 on stock 2018 TRD Off-road wheels with no issues. I am looking to upgrade my wheels and have my eye on the Fuel Tactics. Offset is the new wheels is 1mm. Typically I’m not a complete idiot but I can’t seem to figure out if I will have any rubbing issues. Does anyone who is running something similar have any insight?

    20180401125640_IMG_3227.jpg I have a 2015 dclb. Icon coilovers, Dakar in the rear. OEM uca's. FJ SE anthracite wheels. Really leaning toward 255/85/16 Coopers! Most driving is on the pavement, but do get in the sand and woods as mich as possible. Is there any good reason not to go to the skinny 33's? Should i just suck it up, buy UCA'S and go 285! I do like the selection and price of 265/75/16. But man them skinny coopers!!


    All opinions are welcome. Thanks in advance!

    Well, after three years, a lot of hard wheeling, and thirty something thousand miles, i retired my 255/85/16 km2s this week.

    What an awesome tire. Exceeded my expectations in every way.

    CAB5310A-7A55-4DB3-8FEF-69795D763EC8.jpg

    Replaced them with a set of 34x10.5/16 Interco LTBs, which actually measure out just about the same.

    I'm in :cool:, now running Toyo Mt 255/85r16's.
    I think of them as Tall and Slender.
    Instant 1.5" lift.

    Taken me where I need/want to go and then some. Overall happy with the tire size. Even did great in sandy washes (aired down to 18-20psi)
