Bronze TRD Beadlocks on BFG TA's

I thought I share the newest addition to the truck. After a long time of looking and deciding I picked up a set of bronze TRD beadlock style wheels and put a set of BFG KO's on them. I absolutely LOVE the way everything turned out and am happy with everything. What a difference size, offset, and tire choice make. WOW!!!

I was going to get Duratracs but after a long discussion at my local tire shop, I went with the BFG's. I was a little worried about the E rating. They are stiffer than my stock 265/65/17 Dunlop Grandtrek AT20's but not much, so I'm happy with the ride. A little noisier too, but not much.

The tires come very close to the mud flap on the front when turning but no rubbing as of yet. I imagine the might be a bit under turning and compressing the suspension, but it shouldn't be by much, if any.

One note, I had to buy a set of "tuner style" lugs as the stock lugs from my TRD Sport wheels wouldn't work.

Specs on everything is as follows:
16x7.5 et 10 Bronze TRD wheels
265/75/16 E rated BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO's

That looks awesome!

 

very nice. looks great on your truck

 

Love that bronze !

 

Looks great! Love the color combo (body + wheel)

 

Spruce mica is where its at! Nice combo

 

Bronze wheels look great with the Spure mica

 

The best wheel by far to me. I wish they would come out with alittle bigger rim size to show off the middle of the wheel alittle better! In the middle is where the action is happening. But still looks freaking awesome!

 

Looks really good!

 

Looks sweet man! You did right with treads too. BFG's are great. Best all around IMO

 

Looks good

 

Wheels look great! I'm on the hunt for the same setup but in black! Really dig the beadlocks...

 

Thanks everyone for the positive comments.

After putting a few hundred miles on I still love both the wheels and tires all around. The ride is a tad stiffer and noisier but overall fine. We've had heavy rains the last few days and traction was never a problem. Haven't been off road yet but they have to be better than the stock Dunlops. The tires get a little close to the front flaps when articulating and turning but no rubbing as of yet. So far I'm extremely happy.

 

Love it. Wasn't a fan of Spruce Mica until now.

 

I just got one myself, a SM. Looks awesome!!! I cant decide on what to do to it, I don't think it needs a lift, I cant tell if you modified yours at all, is there any suspension alteration or just new rims and shoes?

 

sweet look!

 

Damn those look good!

I want, but I don't know if I'll get them... $$$

That's without wheel spacers/adapters?

 

Damn you!, you just made me order those wheels but in graphite. Do you have the specs for the lug nuts needed?

That green/bronze looks perfect.

 

Lol I understand! I was a click away twice from buying some myself! If I didn't already have wheels I would have me some. That color combo is awesome!

 

The suspension is all stock. I wouldn't mind a small lift, maybe 1.5-2" all around, but I personally don't like the big lift, huge tire look. Not to mention funds don't seem readily available in the near future. It does have the 4 leaf pack on the rear from the factory.

Correct. No spacers. The specs on the wheels are 7.5" wide with an offset of 10 vs. the stock TRD Sport wheels that are 7.5" et 30. So they basically stick out 20mm more.

Well sorry. I know the stock ones were too big to fit in the lug holes but these were ones the tire shop had in stock. He called them "tuner lugs" and come with a key that goes around the lug. They looked very similar to a set of Gorilla lugs I had previously on other vehicles. They fit so I didn't ask any more questions.

And a side note. I rubbed the other day. Just a little on the front mudflap turning and hitting a large bump. Still not bad and definitely acceptable IMO.
