Question about wheels on 4th gen offset….

I try to not shit on the new generation trucks that much - but thats a crazy oversight on Toyotas part. Hell I've had snow and ice build up worse than that on "plowed" public roads here in Maine during the winter.

 

Taco Ji Is that lifted? I have some +1 offset wheels coming this week and putting 285/70/17s on them... not sure if I risk rubbing on my 2024 TRD Sport with stock suspension?

 

No it is not lifted.

 

I chatted with buddy at the dealership here and he hasn't seen any failures yet but as with us and many others its one aspect of the new trucks we are not to pumped on.

 

Keep in mind that my hybrid OR sits higher by .5 or .75 inches than standard OR trim.
Also I should have been more clear. I did rub very slightly in reverse full lock. But I was able to doze the problem by pushing the felt liner in some by the front fender area. It was a non issue.

 

The Trd Acessories black wheels stick out more than any of the factory wheels.

 

The ones I've seen listed for the current gen are +45mm compared to the stock TRD Off Road wheels, which are +55mm. That's not quite enough to get them out even with the wheel well flare from what I've seen on here. That takes about a +35mm offset to achieve.

 

Survived a Montana winter/spring/fall/summer, 21K miles in 11 months, lots of snow, drove a hundred miles in 12-16 inches of snow on one trip, glacial til (mud like concrete), gravel roads, thick sagebrush etc. I have zero concerns, I even replaced my 17 inch wheels with wider 17 inch wheels to catch more mud and snow, but still…my brake lines are intact.

 

Do you know what makes the OR hybrid sit higher? Is it simply the 33" tires or are the spring rates a little different due to the battery weight?

 

I got the info from this thread.

Thanks. I'll check that out.
