18x9 BFD Wheels

^^very nice^^ what size and kind of tires are you running?

 

275/65/18 goodyear duratracs load range C.

 

Swing by and clean mine. The dirt has depth on my truck right now. Maybe it will quit raining for a bit.

 

How are those Duratracs in terms of noise, fuel efficiency, and dry/wet driving? I will be in Seattle later this year so I will be in a lot of rain and snow. I'm looking for new tires when I buy my BFD, really want the new Toyo Open Country R/T for it's aggressive looks and daily driveability but it's going to hurt too much to drop close to $1300 for a set of tires on top of the new wheels

 

Cant really give a good review on these tires as I have less than 100 miles on them. My older tacoma had BFG MTs and road noise was similar when they were brand new. Im almost certain my MPGs will take a dive coming from stock size A/T tires. Time will tell with the rest. I was torn between these duratracs and Toyos Open Country M/Ts as well. (limited selection here in Hawaii) There was like a $80 difference per tire and the reviews people gave me from their duratracs swayed me in that direction.

I got these off Amazon for $237 each with free shipping(Prime).

 

Sounds good, thanks for getting back to me. Let me know how they run down the road. They look great!

 

Thank you very, very much! You're awesome man. I can't tell you how much I appreciate the kind words and thoughtfulness. The coffee and cookies you sent were awesome.

You're the man Steve! Thanks!!!

Hi Andrew. Which diameter would you like? The overall diameter of the cap, or just the diameter of the inside diameter between the lug nut cutouts? Or all dimensions? Just let me know and I'll get them for you.

Great chatting with you too Dave! I'm glad we were able to settle on a good set of wheels for you, and I'm glad you're happy! Your truck looks awesome.

LOL you guys are funny!

Steve - you made the right choice. All (at least all to my knowledge) 285/65R18 tires are load range E. In 275/65R18 you have options for P-Metric, LT C, LT E, etc. I believe this has to do with the fact that 275/65R18 is an OEM tire size for some of the newer full size pickups (i.e. the Tundra), and most of the OEMs wouldn't put load range E on the trucks from the factory (too harsh of a ride and often times too hard to balance, among other reasons).

Thanks! PM reply sent.

I'm very sorry for my delayed reply. We've been swamped since before Christmas. We always try to ship all orders within 24 hours (one business day), which we've been successful in maintaining through this busy season. Also, we always answer all phone calls / return all calls the same day. Unfortunately, we've been so swamped and without the ability to train new staff to be completely proficient in answering customer requests (I wouldn't want to put a "new guy" on the phones or e-mails / forums), that I've had to neglect the forums in order to keep up on phone calls and to keep all orders expedited. If you ever need a faster reply please do call us at (951)735-1100 or call / text me ANYTIME on my cell : (714)390-9387. I am always here to answer any questions from any of you guys . Thanks for being patient with me!

Gorgeous!

 

18x9 wheels, what offsets are available? Sorry if I missed it in all these pages of looking at beautiful tacos

 

Dustin, what would you charge me for another one of those cool sockets that came with my lug nuts? I just want to have a spare since the sidewalls are so thin.

Check the number of splines on the lugs he sent. There are other spline versions on ebay as well.

 

Well, I won't be doing that from work. Ebay is blocked.

 

Hi guys,

I just ordered a set of Duratracs 275/65/18 and currently waiting for my BFD wheels to arrive. I have about a 2-2.5 in lift in the fron (Bilstein 5100 set at .85 with Toytec springs which gives 1.6" lift from the springs itself) and I was noticing that with my current set up and stock 16" off road wheels and tires, the tires come really close to the upper control arms. Does anyone with this similar set up and Duratracs tire size have any issues of the tires rubbing the UCA? I'm kinda worried now because my stock tires look close and I will be going with bigger tires 275/65/18. Thank you for your feedback

 

I think you'll be ok because the back spacing is different. I'm running Icon UCA's and its fine. You'll probably have rubbing on the flaps and over-fenders.

 

Thanks Thomas. I sure hope that's the case

 

I started off at 2" and had to trim the back of the over fender. I then went up to 3" and a I could have left the knife in the drawer. I'm running Toyo AT2's. Your Duratracs may be knobbier.

 

Just got my new BFDs put on my BFGs. 285/65/18 BFG AT KO2. Fit great with the OME 3". Big thank you to Dustin at FN.

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks for sharing guys, I hope mine won't hit my UCA. I'm already expecting the tires to rub the fender so I will have to do some trimming here and there since my lift is around 2inches

 

I haven't posted here in a while. Here's a black 2013 DCLB Sport on bronze BFD's. I love these wheels! Thanks again Dustin!

 

Nice
