    Thanks man. You have a good looking setup. I have same color truck but with Sema wheels with 265's with a 2inch lift. I think I'll be going this route with my tires.

    Thanks, appreciate it. Thumbs up on your truck as well. Since you are running Sema wheels you probably won't have any of the rubbing issues I have experienced.

    And that's exactly why I'm considering. I'm just so accustomed to wider tires, but it seems skinnies are the better option for 33's on our trucks.

    Agreed. I originally wanted 16" wheels, but did not want to daily drive BFG Mud Terrains or go with Coopers.

    Ive read nearly every page of this thread and am a little confused and would love some input.
    I have a 2018 TRD DCOR 4x4 and would like to go tall/skinny for a few reasons. I also do not really want to lift my truck just yet.
    With that in mind, what is the best choice in tire for these 2 different wheel options.

    Stock 2018 TRDOR wheels (16")

    If I pulled the trigger on the 4Runner (PTR2035110BK) wheels (17") and stay stock height, what is the best option for those wheels?

    Any help greatly appreciated gents. Thank you so much.

    Yes, 3”, SPC Ucas set to max castor, CMC, pinch weld smash. I still rub a whisker in the front if I’m pounding the hell out of it while turning. I’ve been super happy with the set up. Before winter gas I was still pulling mid 16 mpgs. I’m still stock gears, the power loss was about the same as when I went to 265/70/17s. I’m sure if I went bone stock to 275/80/17 it probably would have felt really significant.
