    Hi all, new to the truck game but an old player in the car world.
    I have a couple questions, I tried the search feature but came up with mostly Gen 2 answers or they never listed offsets. You can see where I’m going with this.
    I just recently bought a 2017 taco TRD sport 4x4 double cab long box. And I’m wondering if this particular setup will work.

    My budget is limited and I’m not a big off roader, I use trucks for hauling tools gear etc for work. So here’s what I’m thinking.

    3/1 level kit probably low range blocks

    Which I hope will give enough clearance to fit nittos ridge grabblers 295/55r20 on a 20 x 10 inch with a -19” offset on the rims.

    1) will this fit? Some cutting is fine

    2) how much will this throw out my speedo? Some have said it corrects the error in the speedo or is that only on Gen 2’s?

    3) the rims are satin black and want to run full locking lug nuts in black. Anyone have a company preference or know what threading and depth of nuts needed on aftermarket rims.

    4) as far as TPMS should I just swap the sensors from the oem wheels? Or just put in aftermarket ones? I’m guessing the sensors will still need to be woken up at a tire shop or dealer.

    That’s for the help fellas

    Welcome!!

    I would ask the tire and rim question here
    https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/wheels-tires.15/

    Also make sure when you buy your rims that the OEM sensor will fit by asking the vendor who is selling them.

    I believe our stock tires are usually referred to and are closer to 31 inch.
    One size up is 32 inch, like my 265/75-16 Falken Wildpeaks.

    Each inch up in tire size adds about 3%+ , more in tire circumference.

    Stock tire of 265/65-17 is 660 revolutions per mile.
    295/55-20 is 615 revs per mile.

    Adding 7% in circumference:
    Traveling at 55 mph, your speedometer would be showing about 51 mph.
    At 65 mph your speedometer would indicate about 60.5 mph with the new tires.

    Unknown lift, maybe 2" I don't know how to ID it, and would rather set it back to stock.
