Volk racing TE 37 on my tacoma

Trimmed more today without it looking like a hack job. It’s enough for daily driving and I’m waiting for the cab mount plates to come in for the CMC. Should be good to go after that. I’m sure they’ll be some slight rubbing when going off-roading.

 

Had a buddy ditch his -38s because he couldn't get them to stop rubbing offroad. Every truck is slightly different so hopefully you won't go through the same.

 

Thanks for the heads up it’s more of a extra car and I don’t drive it much but next time I take it out off-roading I’ll find out if it rubs …. And if it does I’m doing the cab mount relocation

 

That will make fitting 35s easier

 

Anyone used a company called Wheelflip to source their TE's? Looked like they're based out of Whittier, CA

 

When spending this amount of money, check RAYS website for approved vendors to make sure you're getting a legit set. I grabbed mine from Showstoppers.

 

No, I would not consider buying wheels from this company based on their reputation from other forums.

There are other vendors here to choose from such as ICM Motorsports, System Motorsports and Showstoppers, which I've all used to buy TEs.

 

Evasive is who I used also

 

Rim And Tire Center in Garden Grove is an authorized dealer, they usually try and keep stock of the wheels too.

 

Hmm, I’m really tempted by a 17x8.5 -10 set right now… Would just go 265/70’s. No use/desire for huge tires and don’t go wheeling, just need to get up some old gas line trails in the hills of Appalachia every month.

Might have to swipe them up and deal with any adverse consequences regarding rubbing.

 

meh, I said the same thing but ended up doing things twice ​

 

Haha, this is technically my company truck, 90% or more of the miles are put on while I'm working... My automotive fun involves much less ground clearance and much more speed

 

well shoot, in that case, get conservative fitment. Sounds like you know what you are looking for.

 

That’s what I’m aiming for but there are so many opinions… I’m trying to figure out if the 17x8.5 -10’s with 265/70’s are conservative enough to just bolt on and go

 

Yes

 

IMO, that’s about as conservative as you can get with the TE and tire size for the 3rd Gen taco.

 

Thanks for your input boys, the truck world just isn’t my area of expertise

 

All good, stick around but keep your wallet locked up

 

One Japanese money pit is enough for me, hopefully the off-road bug doesn’t bite.

 

Got my center caps on…looks a lot better now
