New shoes

Hey everyone I need some help.
I want to get new rims and tires for my trd off-road. My truck is at stock hight and I’m not ready to lift it quite yet. I do want slightly beefier tires with some sort of black rim. Anyone have any recommendations?

 

265/75

 

I believe 275/70/17 Falken WP on some TRD Pro SEMA Wheels would be ok ?

 

Ultraterrian ATs. Zero road noise and look awesome. Lifted mine w/ 5100s all around to achieve level and love it!

 

I ran Saucony shoes for years but my last pair I went to some Nikes with firmer rebound. I thought I would only use the Nikes to run a faster 5K but to my surprise my knees and all other parts seem to like the Nikes. I have reduced my distance, over the last year, to only 5K's and that is probably most of the improvement I've seen in my knees and other parts. I don't know if you were looking at running shoes? Dress shoes are out of my area of knowledge and casual shoes are, to me, what ever you fancy. Hope this helps.

 

What size did you go with?

Also we could all use mas olas haha!

 

I went stock size cuz $6+ gas in SoCal. Check out MasOlas.com and mention TW for free shipping! South of the border…and then some!

 

I recommend New Balance or Brooks. Never had good experience with Nike. New Balance 860 have been the go too, Ive owned a couple generations of this model. Florsheim is a good comfortable shoe and priced well.

Haha! Just trolling and bumping your post up. New owner and curious what you end up with. Let us know what your decision with pics.

 

255/70-17 (31”) on SEMAs here. Little bigger than stock; Wildpeaks

 

If you are going for the rugged AT look that you can use every day I would check out Garmont. They make a great selection, high quality and fair price.

I have these right now

 

I run 265/70/17 on Sema Pros. I think the size you mention might lead to some rubbing...based only from memory when I was researching.

 

I was an avid believer in Saucony until I got into New Balance (I need wide tread). Since the days of Marathons, 1/2 Marathons, 5Ks and FunRuns are behind me, I’ve found a need for an off-road tread pattern. Honestly, the Merrell Moab 2 Ventilator has been my go to. INCREDIBLE performance and longevity in a wide platform has me giddyuppin’. I do experience a little rubbing, but it’s padded where that high spot is, so no issues or damage results. The extra support and firmness is worth the trade off.

 

I am running ART Replica 237's with Toyo Open County ATIII 265/70R17's. The rims are a 17×8 with a +5 offset in a Satin black. I am happy with the set up. I did have to remove the front mud flaps and trim the inner wheel arch for clearance. The offset pushed the tires out enough to cause clearance issues.


I also have a Eibach Pro-Truck Stage 2 kit installed as well...

 

Summit wheels are pretty cheap. Just bought some.

 

What is up with the Nike Vaporfly? I'm kind of want to try them but feel it will be like cheating in my sprint triathlon series. I don't want to buy an age group podium.

 

OP, consider someone’s old shoes. I decided I liked the TSS wheels and the Nitto Terra Grappler 2s they ship them with.

Ah, the “Vibram Five Finger” of today… go for the AlphaFly, you’ll gain a whole leap year! Seriously, the body is the body… there’s no edge, until you start messing with rebounds. Fancy shoes just extend your “season”. Cross-country separates the survivors from the zombie food…

 

If your looking for the most aggressive A/T tire, then the upsized 265/75/16 Duratracs are your tire, no rubbing. When your ready for a 2/1" Lift, they still look good in there.

Aslo a $6 can of plasti dip is all you need to make your OEM rims black. I did mine in Camo.

Smart move buying the Off Road Josh.

 

Disappointed, thought this was a brake shoe thread.

 

I just picked the Nike Lebron’s yesterday.
