Advice for Wheels and Tires

What offset are you looking at for the 17’s?

 

to be honest, i am not well-versed in this but i essentially want the tire riding centered up. i wouldnt prefer that it rides outside of the frame of the truck so fairly close to stock.

These are real short and cover stock wheel offset and some fitment details. I’m personally going 265/75r16 and I haven’t heard of them being an issue at all on stock wheel (or same size wheels)

 

What is your offset on the new 17” wheel

 

Just went up to 17s and put 265/70 Falkens but they rubbed, so went down to 265/65 Falken and no rubbing.
Here is what I ordered:
Fuel Wheels Blitz Gloss Black Milled 6-Lug Wheel; 17x9; -12mm Offset (16-23 Tacoma)
Falken Wildpeak All-Terrain Tire (265/70R17)
Again these did rub so went down 265/65R17

 

12mm

 

I’m running 0 offset on my 16 inch Method 704’s which are 8.5 inches wide compared to stock which I believe is 7.5 wide. Going up to 265/75/16 I have about 1/2 inch of poke with no rubbing whatsoever. Staying as close to 0 offset seems to cause less rubbing issues, plus going up one size netted me 1/2 inch of lift.

 

Nice looking truck, how do you like these wheels.
Every time I see them they grow on me more and more

 

Yea, I like em fine. They are just the stock Pro wheels that came on the truck.

 

265/70 R17 is biggest without trimming

 

They discontinued Duratracs???? That's a shame, as they are the most aggressive...

 

someone in the thread notified me i may have been misinformed. i think they may still be available.

Best weight/strength/price around and customer service is worth being a return customer every time.


Tires: Falken Wildpeaks, Cooper Discoverer, Toyo Open Country, Hankook Dynapro, Duratracs, all bueno in 265/75-16 (or 265/70-17).

 

Also 275/70/17, 255/75/17, 235/80/17 and 255/80/17.

 

so i ended up getting tires and rims the next day (yesterday) after work, across the street at Discount Tire. i went with Goodyear Ultraterrains 265/70 R17. so i did step it up. they did a fit test and i was clear everywhere. the only spot where it was truly close on full turns was the plastic guard in front (low) of the front tire. then i got vision rims. i was gonna go elsewhere for rims but they were a decent deal and i got to get it all done at once. not to get all into the economics but financially speaking, they also let me do 12 month 0% interest on the whole kit and caboodle.
NOTE: first image is the day i got it, the second (from the side) is yesterday.

 

I just did ridge grapplers on my 2nd gen. Hands down a better tire than the wilpeaks and they were only 10 dollars more per tire. No weird vibes on the highway and I didn't have to have the dealer road force balance them.
