what size wheel is your street truck

I have an 04 and am not sure of the ideal size of rim and/or tire i'm looking for.. what's ideal

 

16x8

 

mine.. 03 tacoma P265/70R16 firestones.

I have 19x8.5" @ 4 corners w/255-40/19
Ideal is relative, and I like what I have...they look sweet, but the tires are very pricey!!

 

I think if you go bigger than 18's on a tacoma it doesn't give you enough tire to look cool, but it's what you like..

 

Hey Ry...

Thinking of upgrading the tire/wheel package.
Not looking to lower just yet, and if I ever do, it'll be low-key, just to "fit" the fenders to the tires a bit better... mebbe 1" drop in front and stock 4x4 springs in back.

Looking at the MB "Old School" in 17x8. Neither MB nor Discount provides backspacing info, but they do list it as fitting so I'm hoping they have enough offset.

For tires, I'm debating between the Michelin 235/55-17, or moving up to the 245/55-17... Not too crazy about the limited selection from Discount on the 245's though, and I don't want to drop to a 50, if anything I want the same or slightly larger than stock diameter.


What do you think? Would you anticipate any fitment issues with those? I'm still narrower than the stock X-Runner's 255/45-18.

 

Well... Finally found it in the cryptic numbering on Discount's site.

Fuckers are zero offset, so that's a 17x8 with a 4.5" backspacing.
Ya... it'll fit, and stick out past the fenders.

Guess I'm stuck with the Seven-X in 7" and it's 42mm backspacing. That was my 2nd choice anyways.

 

You rubbed with 245's?
I figured the XR's 255's would be a clean fit on any 5-lug.

So, if I go with the Seven-X or another 17x7 with a 30-40 offset, think that'll clear without trimming and 245/55? Like I said, if I ever do a drop, it's only going to be an inch or so... I'd really just like to level it out and maybe a very small drop beyond that.

As with any wheel/tire, the game is going to be playing width and backspacing.

Not worried about power as long as I stay with a close diameter... maybe 2-3% larger to help correct the speedo, but even the 245's will be better than when I put 31's on my '94 5-lug. Floored and in 4th just to maintain 80 on a mild hill!

 

he's herra low though. or was. or is. or is going to be. he's confused.

anyway you won't rub if your a little low or low. i had 29" tires on at first w/ my DJM and my rubbing was minimal. although my rims don't have a very low offset...

 

Ya... it sucks because I really like the look of the Old School, but there's no way those will work even with 215's on them. They'll stick out 3" more than stock and look "South Central"

Leaning now toward the AR Phantom with Michelin Hydroedge.
I can get the set of 4, with new TPMS, mounted and shipped for just under $1700 from TireRack.

 

TPMS on 5 wheels on my '08
I'd like it to work, though I really don't need it since I do keep an eye on my inflation.

Haven't looked into Onlinetires, but Discount doesn't carry American Racing wheels, and they are special order for the size tires I want (either 235 or 245).

 

Online is a little over $1200 for the same tire/wheel package, but TireRack's price includes TPMS,mounting, balancing, shipping (I'd do will-call in Cerritos for Online), and lug nuts... I think I threw road hazard in there too, so there's really no savings in going with Online, considering my local shops charge an arm and a leg to mount and balance "Innernet" purchases... and some flat out refuse for "liability reasons"

I wish Discount carried AR.

 

Hmm... Good point.
And those even have the correct offset.

 

That's what I was saying.
Tirerack is $500 more, but for that $500 I'm getting 4 new TPMS, lug nuts, mounted, balanced, and $132 UPS ground.

So the $1200 from Online and local pickup, I'd still have to add $300 for TPMS, lug nuts, and pay a local shop to mount and balance which could be problematic and won't be cheap.

OTOH, if I settle for the Seven-X from Discount, I don't have to deal with getting rid of the takeoffs, and if my spare TPMS sensor is bad, they can either swap a good one from the takeoffs into the spare, or furnish a new one.

 

if i ran 17's my frame would be on the ground lol

 

Im running 18's in the front and 20's in the rear I chose coys c-57 wheels in machined polished with gunmetal inserts there website is www.oldschoolwheels.com. My truck is bagged laying frame and I swapped in a 89 Toyota rearend
