The SKINNY on skinny tires

Old post but how did you like these wheels? Just ordered some 33x10.5 kendas and was looking at these to save some weight. Any negatives with the -10 offset?

 

Loved them. No faux beadlock or a rim lip that would hold water. I’m still on SCS wheels, but SR8s in the same specs as those Stealth 6s were, 17x8.5 -10 offset.

A negative offset will push the wheel/tire outboard from the truck. -10 is kinda the sweet spot for negative offsets in being not too extreme and causing crazy rubbing, but providing UCA clearance and a moderate ‘stance.’ That ‘stance’ will have your tires tossing anything and everything all over the side of your truck. Mudflaps are advised.

 

I’m actually hoping it’s not too much stance. I really like the 0 offset but the weight is just spot on and they look great to boot. Ha the mud is the details I’m after I’ve got to get them back on in the front then.
Thanks

 

You running stock suspension?

 

No I had OME suspension on my 2nd gen with the 255/80/17s on SCS Stealty 6s.

 

how much lift; 2"?

 

Yes it was around 2”

 

My original plan was the AT4W in 255/85r16, but found a smoking deal on these 255/75r17 Firestone MTs- $550 shipped! Couldn’t pass up the deal and will have them mounted on 4Runner wheels. Looking forward to the snow melting!

 

Where did that magic happen?! Great price

I’m not affiliated by any means, just wanted to pass on an awesome deal!

search on eBay for 255/75r17 and you’ll find it for $530+ tax

 

That's wild! Looks like they weigh in at 50lbs. Please let us know what you think of them. Safe travels!

 

had those firestones on my 4th gen 4runner. they were loud.....but in 285-70-17, i never got stick. powered thru anything. great mud tire.

 

Hopefully they won’t be louder than my studded snow tires

 

They are getting mounted up tomorrow, but won’t run them till March when I have a trip planned to Glen Canyon NRA. I live in the foothills west of Denver and it’s too icy for a MT tire for a while. Looking forward to finding out if these C rated tires are any smoother riding than the 255/80r17 Falken AT3W

 

Mounted up and ready for spring! They balanced without much weight. Can’t wait to switch to these once ice season is over

 

Man those look good. What is the date on them?

 

Late 2022 for 2 and early 2023 for the other 2. Plenty of life for 30-40K miles and the rubber still feels soft and fresh.

 

Just wrapped my trail editions (+4mm offset) with 235/85r16s. Moved up in diameter from the stock 265/70r16s

 

Any help appreciated. I know this is the most overasked question, but time for some new rubber and feel like I can go a bit bigger, want some help from you pros out there.

2020 Tacoma TRD Sport (6'Bed) I have a basic 1.5" Spacer lift and 1.5" wheel spacers. Currently running 265/70R17 KO2s, what do you think i could get up to without trimming? And i like the stock 17x7.5 rims it came with. I know some guys dont like em, but im a fan. Thanks for the help and happy cruising.

 

1.5 spacers on a stock sport wheel equals -8 mm offset.

I think you'll rub just a hair at 255/80 with a negative offset, but feel free to try it anyway.

I personally liked the wider variety of offerings at 255/75, so that's where I landed.
