Hello everyone. I have a question.

Hello everyone, my name is Adrian and I just signed up to this page. I have a 2018 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport. I’m getting ready to purchase a new set of wheels and tires and need some suggestions. I’m interested in getting bronze rims and all terrain tires. Rims, I can’t decide if I should get 17s or 18s. Someone already told me that I should get 17s but I don’t know.. I hardly ever go off roading. I’m hoping I can get tires with an aggressive look that are good on the snow and rain and that are not too noisy.

 

You technically didn't ask a question.

17s.

 

Welcome to the addiction!

17s mean more rubber, better for offroad
18s are less rubber, better for onroad

for what its worth, there are a lot of mods you can do that will pay off better than rims

 

16s are better

 

13’s with spacers

 

Welcome to TacomaWorld

 

Which ever tire or size you go with being you rarely off road. I would stay away from an E rated tire. Harsher ride plus the added weight will hurt your power and gas mileage.

{EDIT} Welcome to TW!

 

Have you done any research for Wheels & Tires?

Type: "Tacoma Tires" into YouTube and review recommended suggestions.

Are you interested in gold wheels, or bronze? For your sake, I hope the latter. If the former, I’m out.

 

Welcome! I think 17s are the best size for Tacomas, unless you plan on a lot of off roading, then 16s are the way to go. I put 17s on my 14 SR5 that came with 16s. I have better handling on road and better looks (my opinion), but the ride quality did go down a bit. I think 18s would ride too rough, but I’m old, so there’s that!

Welcome!

I personally like 16s and that's what I'm running now.

Here's my setup:

• RelationsRaceWheels RR5-S 16x8 -12 Matte Bronze (discontinued this option. only available in 17s now)
• BFGoodrich KO2 265/75/16 - No rubbing before or after lift
• Fox 2.0 Performance Shocks ~1.5 inches lift

 

Thank you all for your comments. It sounds to me that 17” wheels will be a better option for me. Can somebody tell me which tire is less noisy out of these three?
-Nitto Grappler
-Falken Wildpeak
-BF Goodridge KO2

 

I think Falken Wildpeaks are the quietest. the KO2s are the loudest

 

Now we are getting into opinion.

None of them are quiet.

Of those three, I think the wildpeaks are the quietest, IF you can find a set that properly balances.

 

I have the WildPeaks. They are quiet for the most part. I did have to go to 18's to get a 32" tall tire under 50lbs. each.

 

Is that the Prinsu Access Rack?

That's what I am planning to buy soon!

It’s the double cab rack. Bought mine from truck brigade because they have free shipping @Truck Brigade
https://truckbrigade.com/products/prinsu-design-studio-cabrac-roof-rack-toyota-tacoma-2005

They sell some awesome high quality mods too

 

I have the Nitto G2s. Pretty quiet and have never had issues with balancing. I’ll give them a b+ in the rain. As for snow I can’t tell you as I don’t have to drive in it. Bronze wheels look great with a red truck.

 

Thanks for the link. I've not seen that site--free shipping gets my vote.
