    Check out SCS Performance. Vin is a good guy, and has some wheels good sizes and offsets at good prices. I just got on a list for a set. will be selling 17" sport alloys in about a month.

    I believe I stand corrected -- based on info in the Wheels and Tires section, both the SR5 steelies and the TRD Off Road rims are 16x7, TRD Sport rims are 17x7.5. You should be able to run 265's just fine, and the pic that was posted with the same setup you have looks fine, not too squished.

    As TacoDell stated, rotating the tire a little on the rim may help, but without good tools to do a measurement, it's just guesswork and trial and error until the vibration goes away (if at all).

    Still, I think the quality of the aluminum wheels is a little better, and you may have better luck. Check eBay for take-offs, I got some from a dealer that installed custom wheels for a customer.

    Thanks for the update on the specs. Think I am going to try new shop and see how new balancing goes and double check on if they are really bent.

    Got the tires road force balanced like someone suggested in an earlier post. Surprise Surprise,tech told me each tire was off by 2oz. Very strange .Drove out of lot and already felt better. What a relief. Thanks for all the input.

    Sometimes the Toyota "techs" are lazy as hell and don't feel like doing the work. Glad everything worked out bud.

    Which shop is this if you don't mind sharing? It's always good to know the good shops that really know what they're doing.

    Keep us posted on how everything works out.
