Winter Wheel Recomendations

I recently upgraded to really nice Icon alloy 17s and I'd rather not run them during the new england winters. I plan to get some nice winter tires but don't need anything fancy for the winter for the wheels.

Does the offset of the winter set have to be the exact same as the summer set? Does everyone get an alignment with every wheel change?

 

what'd you do with the original set? Just use them with winter tires.

The two sets don't have to be the same and you don't need an alignment every swap.

 

I already sold my old 16 wheels to pay for more new truck parts. I got the feeling that if the wheel offsets are different you needed a new alignment.

 

You don’t need a wheel alignment swapping wheels, I’d pick up some oem wheels for cheap for the winters.

 

Just make sure that you get four clone TPMS sensors, Autel 315mx, to use the sensor ID# that the truck has stored and read off your summer wheels.
And an extra set of wheel nuts to fit whatever your winter wheels are.

 

Just get some basic steelies in the same size and offset if you want a cheap set of wheels that will just work.

 

In theory your wheel offset will affect your scrub radius which is (kinda) compensated for via camber during an alignment

But in reality if you want to be picky just align it with your summer set and forget about it unless you have an issue. I have access to and the ability to do my own alignments but I'd never bother going through the trouble of aligning for seasonal wheel change overs and see it as a waste of money to pay for such a task to be done

 

I haven't been able to find any cheep steels with a 0 offset. I like the Liquid Metal Atoms but their offset is 41. They are cheep and look ok enough for just winter.

 

I've been searching for a while and still have been unable to find a set of wheels that will fit my truck at close to the stock offset. My hope was that my winter wheels would be the ones to pass inspection as my 'normal' wheels stick out slightly. I've spent hours using google and looking through various websites. Either no one makes a basic steel wheel for a 2020 offroad tacoma close to a 30mm off set. or I have no clue how the internet works.

Toyota makes that exact wheel. It’s the spare on most trims.

Or just go to a wrecker and get rims. The 2nd gen tacoma uses the same hub size and bolt pattern as the 3rd gen and there are probably more 2nd gen wrecked than 3rd gen.
