    Bilstein 6112 front spc control arms.
    5125 rear with HD Dakar.
    Rubbing on driver side mudflap at full lock.
    Lowered the tire pressure to 40 from 50 and tpms sensors are on now. Hmmm
    New a re program I guess.

    Yeah tried it with truck on and off. Light is still on won’t even flash. I think one of the tons sensors is faulty.

    Had tpms sensors reprogrammed and all is good. Going to advance caster 3/8 of an inch to help with rubbing. Great news that I purchased the spc upper control arms before. This will make that a breeze. Only rubbing slightly on the mudflap at full lock. Hopefully centring the tire a bit better will clear any issues.

    Just put on some 255-75-17 Duratracs on a stock 2020 TRD Sport today. 32.0" skinny tire, with no lift and no issue. Local Discount Tire store took care of me today. No clearance issues as it sits. I am going to do a post with the details and more pics.

    What offset are you guys running with the 255s? Looking at the 255/80r17 wild peaks and just finished my lift install. Found a decent deal on a set of 17x8.5 inch wheels with a 0mm off at and 4.5 back spacing. Trimming and massaging is fine except a cmc.. don’t really want to do that just yet.

    I am currently running SCS 17x8.5 -10 with my 255 Wildpeaks and love the way it looks a lot more than the 17x7 +4 pro wheels I had.

    Thanks for the info both of you! Beautiful truck by the way. Does anyone know if I’d have issues with a 0mm offset?

    Thank you! You should be fine with a 0 offset. I would suggest a good alignment, and you might have to do some minor trimming.

    I have my CMC and pinch weld hammered back so have plenty of clearance.

    Anybody know if the stock 2nd Gen sport wheels will fit 255/80/17 without any major problems in the wheel well? They’re +30 if that helps..

    not sure what to do about it, other than new wheels or new tires, neither of which I’m really not in the mood for right now. Was the same at stock height and 2 inch lifted. Maybe a small 5mm spacer, if such a thing is made?

    Alright after a day of measuring and remeasuring, it looks like even 255/75/17 won’t fit. Is it possible this is because my suspension has settled too much? Pretty sure it hasn’t been replaced and the truck is at 144k.
