The SKINNY on skinny tires

Any photos of how you chopped the hanger off the frame?

 

Here is how I did mine using a sawzall and a hammer. I wish I cut the exhaust just a little lower. Tire hasn’t melted yet though so it’s fine haha

 

I did the same as the above but cut off both hangers in that location.

 

This is Awesome! 35s with the spare in the stock location!!

 

1). To clarify, the 255/85/16 on the stock base model wheels should be zero offset.
2). Will this 255/85/16 tuck up where the original spare hangs? I m so great fun for the detailed information.

 

Anyone here use a 255/80r17 with the steel spare wheels from the fj cruiser? I want to see what it looks like. Seems like 17 has more all terrain options

Stock wheels on the TRD off-road & SR5 are 25mm+ offset. The Trd Pro wheels are 4mm+. Zero offset will rub a tiny bit, so best to go with a positive offset wheel.

I fit my spare 255/85r16 without any modification. It just barely touches the metal shield on the exhaust, which I am fine with.

 

I need to know if center caps included. Seller will not answer me.

 

I don't think so.

thanks, I got it after rereading your thread. This was very helpful.

 

Got a little mud on the new Duratracs. 265/75R16

 

I know about the 35x10.50x17 Kenda Klever R/T, but what other 35" or larger tires are out there?

Thank you for your patience. Please see attached.

 

I saw those… $$$$

 

Anyone here run Kenda's Klever 35x10.50r17

Thinking those will probably be my next tire but I'm hearing they run short.

Are there any "tall skinny" 35's that aren't anemicly skinny?

Running 285 75 17 "34's" Cooper ST Maxx and they run a little tall as far as I can tell, they're taller than my buddy's Pro Comp 35x12.50r20's.

 

So, I just scored some Tacoma TRD pro wheels. Planning to join the skinny club. I plan on doing a 1.5"-2" lift in the future, but understand these skinnies can fit without a lift.

Does anyone have any input choosing between 265/75r16 vs 255/85r16 with a 6MT?

 

I mean, the 265/75r16 will about 100% fit.
It's a 31" tire. Nothing wrong with that.
It's a little taller than any stock tire on the tacoma.
It's the same width as the stock tire that comes on the TRD trucks (and probably some other packages).

The 255/85/16 is just over a 33" tire.
It's about 1/2" narrower (skinny) than the 265.
It's about 1.5" bigger in diameter (taller) than the 265.

I prioritized height over width.
Your situation may be different.

 

I appreciate the input. I'm leaning towards the 255/85. I feel like it'll help fill the wheel well better after a lift. I guess regearing is more necessary with autos, but not so much with manuals?
