New Tires & Wheels, or just Tires?

I have had my "Turd" Gen 2017 Tacoma TRD OR for a few months now and have done a few things to do it. One of those things was powdercoating my stock TRD OR Wheels a semi-gloss black since I hated the two-tone color.

Since day1 I have wanted new tires and wheels, but since getting my stock wheels powdercoated, I like them much more.

The question is:

• Get some FN FX Pro Wheels & New Tires (More $$$)
• Just get new tires (Falken Wild Peak AT3W or General Grabbers AT2) (Less $$$)

Here is what my truck looks like with the powdercoated wheels.

 

If you want a visual......

 

What size tires you going with if you go "tires only" route?

 

Your wheels look great powder coated I would go with just tires man.

 

Sex! How much do they come out of the wheel-well? Is the stance wider by much?

Not sure, probably 265/70/16 or whatever looks best without too much, if any trimming. What do you recommend?

Thanks! I wouldn't mind this route too, but I also want a wider stance, without spacers if possible. I'm paranoid about running spacers. Especially when I take it to the dealer to get my free tire rotations.

 

I don't have any recommendations because I'm on stock Limited wheels (don't shoot me I don't know my tire size off memory). But I'm just studying around to see what people do and I would likely do something similar for my size wheel.

I'm usually always an advocate of stock wheels to keep the suspension geometry correct and not wear out bushings, control arms, etc.

 

I like the wheels powder coated. I second the suggestion for just tires.

 

I love the stock wheels! Jump up to a 255/85r16 and you'll be super happy.

In the same boat, but I really like the FN FX Pros, and I think I will get the tires first, then wheel's later. Your OR wheels look great though. I don't think you would be disappointed getting the tires only.

 

How much better does this size look than something like a 265/70/16 or 265/75/16?

Thanks!

 

They're a hair narrower (0.4") but to my eye, I can't tell a difference. They are a bit taller though, which is definitely noticeable. Here are the actual size differences.



EDIT: I'm running this size on my truck and freaking love it.
