A different kind of wheel/tire question

Good morning - still working through wheel tire combos - could you provide a comparison photo with the 8.5 and 9 machined wheels - I want the 9" wheel but trying to see if I can live with the smaller lip on the 8.5 wheel.... Thank you

 

@Chilledspode here is the 8.5 lip




And here is better look at the depth on this grey wheel

 

@lundy 2 questions if you would: 1) in your opinion, assuming Michelin LTX P265/65R17 tires on your 9" -25 offset M71 wheel would you expect that I would have issues at full lock? 2) what would your estimate be of the poke with the stock wheel well flares be with those tires mounted on the 9" -25 wheel? Thank you for your time and great (pre-purchase) customer service.

These questions assume mounting onto a stock 2022 TRD Sport DblCab AT 4wd.

@Chilledspode
1. Hard to say if they would clear. 265/65R17 might be short enough to clear but I can't say for sure. Your best bet would be to find a good alignment shop that can dial in some extra positive caster. This will get you away from the body mount. You may have to trim fender liner in the front with added caster though. But better to trim plastic opposed to metal, right? This is all speculative though. I don't have any real experience with a setup like this.

2. About .5"/12mm less than this

 

@lundy Once again, thank you for your time and considered opinions. I have what I need to sketch the options up and see what they show me. Cheers
