new wheels ordered - ATX crawl, Cooper Zeon ATZ

after much debate over wheel and tire brands and sizing, also through numerous browsing to see what everybody else has on their truck, i finally ordered me a set of wheels/tires from discount tire. (they made me a deal i couldnt refuse, also $200 worth of rebates at this time ((sale ends on 3/27))

American Racing ATX Crawl 18x8.5 +15offset and Cooper Zeon ATZ 285/60/18. i'm excited and can't wait to get them on my truck.





all that on my Indigo Blue DC.



next some before and after pics

 

also excited to get the BFG RuggedTrails off the truck.

 

Its gonna look great! Black accents with II looks awesome

 

good choice man! Gonna look awesome!

 

do you have a lift? thats alot of tire to squeeze under there.

 

i don't have a lift yet, i seen "se7en" put XD monster 18's with the same tire on his truck and the only issue he had initially was rubbing on the mud flaps (which i dont have). http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/73845-285-60r18-xd-monsters-pics.html

however i plan on getting bilstein5100's put on in the near future.

 

You will just be having some rubbing on your frame, UCAs, and maybe the fenders.

 

whats the bs on your atx's? Not sayin it wont work, just may look a little stuffed?

 

so i crawled up under the truck and it appears as if that UCA could be an issue.


how can i avoid hitting the UCA?, do you think the 275/60 will clear the UCA? i figured with the 23mm difference in offset between the 2 wheels would allow for a wider tire, but i guess i didn't think about the height being a factor.

 

se7en's wheels are a -12mm offset so yours are going towards the uca. I think they will fit but it's gonna be VERY close!

 

as i go back and look i missed that (-)and the (+) and that makes a big difference. so what would eliminate the issues i may experience?, a skinnier tire or a shorter one? (avoiding use of a spacer)

 

hmm yeah a 275 would work or maybe a 285/55/18. but they dont have the cooper in that size.

 

it might work still but it's gonna be close man!

 

look how close mine are!!!

 

they will def. work with aftermarket upper control arms!

 

Hayden, you just inadvertently answered a question I've been searching for all day. I really like se7en's wheel/tire combo but didn't know if I could fix a potential UCA rubbing issue with the TC UCA I have on order. Thanks!

 

looks bad son!

 

your truck is going to look badass! you should be very happy with you tire choice.

 

cool

 

i finally got down to DiscountTire and got my wheels/tires put on. there was some concern about rubbing on the UCA but when the tires were mounted it actually is further away from the UCA than the stockers were.
