How much offset for new tacoma?

Hey I'm in line for a 2022 TRD off road 4 door with a 5ft bed. Wait time is expected to be 3-6 months so I'm doing as much homework as I can now.

I don't plan on lifting the truck but I'm also not 100% sure of what tire size I'd like to get yet.

I plan on having a studded winter set of tires (will get use 5-7months per year at least) and a not too aggressive AT set of tires for summer.

I'd like the tires to have enough offset to almost be flush with the fender flares, what are my options?

 

-10 offset should get you there, if you're not lifting I believe 265/75/16 is the largest tire you can fit.

 

So forgive my ignorance, I'm super new to this, when I look for a set of wheels and tires that would give me the offset I'm looking for what exactly what specs am I looking for? Also I THINK I'm planning on keeping the stock 265/70R16 size.

 

-10 won't rub with stock(ish) size on no lift?

 

Look up Stealth Custom Series wheels, they make really high quality stuff purpose built for our trucks even if you don't go with them their specs are pretty ideal on their pages, stay close to those.

 

Hey thanks for the help. I’ll take a look and do some more research

 

I would recommend a set of steelies and good snows for Winter use. Steelies can simply be repainted when rust sets in - alloy wheels will corrode & pit from deicing chemicals and once they do there's no simple way to recondition them. Wound up powder coating the alloy wheels on my '06 TRD OR because they got really pitted. Changed to having 2 sets - one for Winter and the original alloys for nicer weather. Currently prepping a set of steelies for my '21 TRD OR - plain, simple, easily touched-up flat black paint.

Why? So your tires can throw more crap up on the sides of your truck?

 

Steelies are a good suggestion, I’m run some on my car right now and I think I got em dirt cheap.

 

The only steel wheels that I know fit are the OEM ones.

 

For sure, I’ve been looking for a size and I’m not 100% sure. Are they 16 by 7? Or 16 by 8?

 

I’m not sure which wheels you are referring to, but I think all the OEM wheels are 7 or 7.5 inches wide. I’ve never really cared, because I’ve never tried running wider than stock tires.

 

The steelies I just picked up (from a '21 Taco) are 16 x 7. In the process of painting them and will transfer my snows over to them. Then I'll be selling a set of (4) steelies from my '06.

 

The truck I'm getting is the 2022 tacoma TRD off road, so I guess whichever size the OEM ones are would be what I'm getting.

Here's the link from toyota's website https://www.toyota.com/configurator...or/LC27/packages/option173/accessories/2T-B0/

EDIT: After doing more research I ran into the site customwheeloffset.com. They have a pretty nice wheel gallery and I searched for trd off-roads with a stock suspension. Looks like some 16x8 wheels with 0 offset may be close to what I'm looking for.

 

After much debating and questioning I think I've settled on a 16" x 8" wheel and I will be keeping the 265/70R16 stock tire size, subject to change of course. Thanks to Key-Rei I was able to get in contact with the guys at SCS and they helped me figure out what I want. Does anybody have any input on this decision or opinions about what it would look like? I still have probably 6 months to think about this before I even get my truck so nothing is going to be set in stone for a while.
