    Hey Everyone or pro owners,

    When they advertise the pro with having a 1” wider track / stance... is this JUST coming from the pro wheels and their increased offset? Or are there suspension / axle / hub /spacing differences that make this wider stance? Yes I know it has upgraded suspension and all, but does that contribute to the wider track, or is it literally just the wheels themselves?

    It's in the wheel offset.
    Stock is 16x7 +25mm
    Pro is 16x7 +13mm
    12mm x 2=1" increased track width

    Cool thanks. So the other parts that would affect track (axle/hubs/whatever else) are identical to an off road? So in other words, if you put on pro wheels on an off road, it would be all the same? minus the suspension of course, but I believe that wouldn’t affect the track or scrub radius.

    Yes.
    Come to think of it...
    You know what might be interest to you, considering your line of questions in the scrub radius thread; comparing alignment specs on a Offroad vs Pro.

    You think Toyota aligned them differently from the factory to account for the different wheel offset? I almost think they wouldn’t care enough lol...

    It varies somewhat by model, wheelbase, configuration, etc.

    Gotcha. So there’s a chance they also gave the pro a “pro” alignment too. Wonder if OR owners who put the pro wheels on cared enough to get an alignment like the pro. I’m guessing not. How would one get alignment specs for all of the different models? If someone cared enough, and they put pro wheels on the off road, I wonder if they would take these specs to an alignment place and copy them. Prob would make sense. Most just do it for looks, though

    SR model to the Pro model 4X4 uses the same geometry. Alignment apecs have a range.
