My Konig Countersteer Offroad Type X fitment problems

I haven't heard about the 'X' countersteers but then again I'm not shopping for wheels. These look even more like Volks than the original countersteers. Neat.

 

SOOOO GOOD!! Nice choice w/ the blacked out lettering on the BFGs. At what point do the tires start rubbing?

 

they look good.

 

I have a set of these in my shop awaiting tires to install. I was planning Goodyear Duratracs in 265/70R17...looks like I better factor in 5100s for this project. Thanks for the heads up!

 

5100's and Eibach springs go on this weekend, I'll up more pics once it's finished.

 

Can't wait to see the pics with the lift. BTW how much does your cap weigh? I'm debating on getting the same cap the 100XR maybe 100XL for my short bed. I'm asking because I want a cap that is somewhat of a lightweight cause I want the ease of taking it off when not needed.

 

Not 100% sure, but around 200lbs.

 

How does your truck ride w/ the Toytec/Eibach lift and Countersteer X/BFG AT upgrades? Do you notice any new vibrations?

 

where did you get that done and how much was the entire setup? thx

 

Rides awesome...tad stiffer than the stock sport Bilsteins, but it handles better in the corners for sure and there's no wandering/floating. No vibrations at all. I still have a very slight rub on the front liners when in reverse at almost full lock, probably gonna do some trimming.

I had them installed at Dales Alignment in Langley, they did a great job and finally got my wheels balanced after Kal Tire failed twice. I honestly don't have all the figures in front of me, everything was purchased over a fairly long period of time and I don't feel like asking my wife to go find the receipts , especially since truck parts are a touchy subject with her for some reason If I had to ballpark it...including install...$2200 ?

 

i just would like to clarify this: " I know the guys who were behind this wheel, and the idea is basically this: If you use a stock tire size on a Tacoma that is not lifted, you will have NO rubbing. The original poster used a taller than stock tire, and he had some rubbing. You can definitely plus size your tires, but you're going to want to lift the truck or do some minor plastic trimming, which is to be expected anyway when going with taller tires."

 

im not trying to thread jack or anything

Heres my buddy truck running 265/65/17 Nitto Terra Grapplers with stock suspension. He didnt have any rubbing issues what so ever.

 

I'll be running the 265/65R17 on my truck once I get the wheels. I'm still waiting for a set to become available.

 

Seem like these wheels come with different offsets because some member's wheels looks concaved and others no.

What are the offsets available for these wheels?

 

The concave ones are konig countersteer offroad 16x8 +0 offset and the countersteer type x is 17x8 -10 offset.

 

What does offset means? Does it mean how far the wheel stick out?

 

Did you ever get around to getting them? Want a set of these too.

 

Quick question. I noticed the OP installed 265/70-17s on his set of wheels, and it looks really good.

I wanted to know how much more rubbing trimming you would think would be necessary to run 285/70-17 AT tires. I'm thinking that a cab mount chop would be necessary, but since I'm planning on installing an aftermarket front bumper I'll be trimming enough of the front fender liner to eliminate rubbing on the front fender. Mudflaps are probably toast no matter what.

Is this a fair assessment?

 

Wheels look really good.

 

Yes, you're pretty much spot on. I assume you will also install a 2.5" + lift as well. The OP had factory suspension with 265/70/17.
