    Ha! If I was over there, I'd stud these and keep them for winter tires!

    Any pics of the front and rear? Looking to see how tucked in the fender well they are. Or if they stick out at all.

    I'm looking to do light off-roading, camping, Mexico surf trips with my 2004 dual cab prerunner.

    I'm running some stock wheels of a TRD sport truck. Do you guys think this size tire is best since I have a 2.7 motor? I've looked through a lot of the pages and see a lot of guys with a 4 banger running this size.

    Currently running 265/65/17 Brigestone dueler HT's that came when I bought the truck.

    I'm a 2nd gen but I didn't notice a difference going from a 265/75/16 to the 255's. However it should be noted that I went from good year kevlars in the 265's which is a mud tire, to a all terrain tire (cooper st max) in the 255's.

    I'm constantly averaging 18.9 for my 200 mile trip home from school. And thats usually with 10-20 min stuck in heavy traffic. I'm pleased especially with the lift and armor.

    right. so technically my 4.5"bs will make the wheel stick out .2" further than his 4.3". or is it the other way around?

    You will sit .2" inboard. Backspace is the measurement from the inside wheel edge to the mounting surface. The lower the number, the further away from midline the wheel sits.
