    I searched and called some places but not getting a guaranteed answer. Im the worst when it comes to suspension, tires, etc... i get so backwards on it all and end up always getting the wrong thing.


    Looking into buying some Level 8 Guardian 17 X 8.5 -6 but i need to know:

    1. will these wheels fit perfectly on my 2006 tacoma 4x4 TRD Sport without any mods or additional parts? do my OEM tpms sensors mount and work ok after calibration?

    2. will some Michelin ltx at2 @ 265/65/17 (oem size) fit the new rims perfectly?

    3. any experience with these rims? will they take some minor abuse like my stock alloys did... such as hunting, mudding, going thru brush and branches, what about years of snow and salt... how do they hold up?

    I went ahead and got it all done so ill answer my own questions for the next guy who comes along.

    1. YES. they fit without issue. they stick out offset some from stock and look amazing. the whole truck looks beefy.

    2. YES. Tires mounted and balanced without issue. Perfect

    3. They came flawless out of the box, no dings, scratches, or problems. they look very well made and have a nice finish. 3 weeks on em and still no scratches or dents/dings. haven't gone off road yet or in snow/salt or deep mud. They were very affordable at only $110 shipped from discount tire direct per wheel so i was a little concerned they would be poorly made due to the low price. I get compliments everywhere i go with people wanting my setup. Overall I'm very happy. Lets see how they hold up thru hunting and this winter season.
