New guy: help with wheels and tires?

Hey guys, just got a 2017 trd sport and want to throw some new shoes on it. I'll be throwing on my bilstein 5100's on in the front tomorrow to level it out a bit. The only problem is I don't know what tire and wheel combo will fit. I want to do the method double standard 18x9 with some larger AT tires. I have no idea what offset or back spacing even means, it's a foreign concept to me. I want to go as big as I can without rubbing. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

 

Tire and Wheel fit questions are the most commonly asked questions here so you're running the risk of getting flamed on your first post without trying to utilize the search function and exhausting previously discussed topics. I'll help you out by posting a couple of links below but I'd recommend playing around with search. You can narrow it down to "Search this forum only" check box and it will only look in the Third Gen Forum. You can also search by thread title only. Play around with different word combos. Bottom line, you can't go much larger than stock tires without doing some trimming/cutting. It's not always just a lift issue to clear tires because Lift alone does not increase the size of the wheel wells. Leveling will make no significant difference in what you can fit.

265/65/18 is a safe bet. Anything else will require more modification.

 

Thanks for the gentle flame. I knew I'd get some flack for post about wheels and tires because I did do some searching and it is a common question, I was just hoping by narrowing down the question to the specific Wheel I wanted to with would mitigate some of the flame. Thanks for the info you posted, it was very helpful.

 

@ridez has 18" methods so he might be able to help

Part number of the methods I went with. Did a cab chop when I had them mounted but might have been able to get away without it and just doing an alignment.

Edit: I have 275 70 18s ko2 and lifted 3 ish inches

 

Right on, thanks for the info. I ordered the 18x9's and did 265/65/18 hankook AT's. They'll be in wed so we'll see how it works out.
