MB wheels Vortex

Hey everyone. I recently upgraded from stock wheels and tires to Duratracs in 265/75/16 and MB vortex wheels in matte black from Discount Tire. I couldn't find any pictures of these wheels mounted on a taco prior to purchasing them so I thought I'd post pictures for anyone looking in the future.

 

duncan92, thanks for your support.

Your truck looks Great.

 

man those look great!

 

They look like an off road version of 4runner wheels.

I approve.

 

Duncan - Do you know the offset or the backspace on the MBs? I'm looking at the exact same wheel...

 

Jhunter,

I couldn't find anything definitive from MB wheels when I was looking. I pieced it all together from different websites and came up with 4.5 inch backspace and 0 offset at least for the 16x8 version. They do clear the calipers just fine. I had the front mud flaps off for a few weeks and there was no rubbing with 265/75/16 tires. I put them back on cause my truck was getting dirty as heck and there is a little rubbing on the very inside of the mudflap on full turn but that's it. I also bought the gorilla black extended lug nuts. I don't know if the regular gorilla lug nuts work or not but I know the stock lug nuts don't. Hope this helps!

 

I got the same ones on my truck, with Cooper 265/75/R16s. Mine are a black/chrome set. That all black looks sweet!

 

Which Coopers did you get? I was down to the duratracs and the at/3. Ended up with the duratracs since they had so many reviews.

 

I got the Discoverer A/T3's. I like them so far, they have only been on for about 1500 miles

 

4 year old thread. OP how these work out. just picked some up.

 

They've worked out pretty well. The only issue I have is sometimes after a rotation discount tire will put the weights where they rub on the caliper. I have to pay attention right afterwards and go back to move them where they don't rub. Of course that isn't an issue with the tires so overall I'd recommend them.
