    2014 TRD Off Road
    I've been lurking here for quite some time. I just posted my stock wheels for sale and figured I'd introduce myself and show off my new wheels.

    I went with the Level 8 MK6s and put 265/75/16 DuraTracs on. I plan on putting the TRD center cap from the baja wheels on them. I ordered the wrong size, but included the picture so you get the idea.

    It's all stock suspension so far. I had to take the flaps (including the tiny one in the front of the well) off in the front due to a slight rub. No cutting.

    I got just under an inch of lift all around from the increased tire size.

    Thanks. I think it will look much better with the TRD center cap. The Level 8 wheel's center cap is just terrible with the giant 8 on them.

    Yeah, I dig 'em! I screwed up and bought the 265/70 Duratracs instead of the 265/75's... I would have enjoyed the lift and looks of them. They fill the wheel wells nicely on your truck, a very good look for it for sure.

    Looks great! I just put on MK6s in bronze this week but kept the stock tires for now. Lemme know which cap you order. I don't like the giant 8 either.

    This is the part number you need to fit. I got these from Amazon:

    http://www.amazon.com/Genuine-Toyot...qid=1408130640&sr=8-2&keywords=trd+center+cap

    Should get them on Tuesday. I post an update when I put the caps on.

    I also thought about getting these decal stickers to just put over the 8:
    http://www.amazon.com/Toyota-TRD-St...qid=1408130708&sr=8-6&keywords=trd+center+cap

    I actually saw both of these options on a 4runner forum. Google Level 8 Mk6 with TRD cap and you'll get a bunch of examples.

    Looks great

    I have the Level 8 Trackers...but mine are 16x8.5 with 265/75/16 Duratracs and love my set up ...I had to remove both front mudflaps...but it would still experience a slight rub when it was turned and hit a slight bump, like turning into my driveway everyday...I put 5100s at 1.75..and it fixed everything.

    I haven't had them offroad yet, but I haven't noticed any rubbing pulling into my driveway over the driveway "hump" or over speed bumps. There will be some offroading in the near future to test this though.

    I went with the 0 offset. So these actually:

    http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...bmitProductSize.do?pc=16138&tmn=MK6&typ=Truck

    I've read that the -10 offset might rub even with the flaps removed.

    If you're looking to buy some use this link to Discount Tire's ebay site. They currently have $100 off if you spend 400 or more. I just broke my order up in to 3 parts and saved $300 on wheels and tires.

    If you enter your vehicle information on discount tire's website...it should pull up the exact wheel that fits your Tacoma.

    Will the 0 offset make them stick out more?

    The 0 offset sticks out slightly more than stock, but the -10 sticks out more. I forget what the exact amount is, something like a half inch on each side.

    The 0 offset seems perfect to me. The tires barely stick out past the wheel well.

    Yeah, I saw the ideas on some FJ and 4Runner forums. I liked these wheels but hated that "8" center cap and was holding out on buying them because of this. But, there are a lot options to customize the center cap. Ebay has lot of center caps that you can fit on there too.

    I'd be running LT245/75r16 hankook dynapro ATMs so i don't "think" they'd stick out.
