    Hello all, I'm purchasing new wheels for my 2017 Tacoma SR 4x4. For my 16x8 wheels, I have the option between a 10mm offset and an 01mm offset. I'm not lifting, just upgrading the 245's to the 265 70 16's (stock size for the off roads). Any thoughts on which offset to go with? Thanks in advance!

    I'd go with the +10mm.
    It will have the least affect on scrub radius(+14mm).
    IMO, 9mm of additional poke and scrub radius, for the +1mm offset wheel isn't worth it.
    By the same token, I'd recommend going with 265/75/16 to further reduce additional positive scrub(+11mm).

    Here's a calculator showing your stock set-up vs, 16x8 et +10mm/265 70 16

    I’m lost. The reason why I wanted to go with the 265 70 16 was because the speedometer and odometer would be minimally effected. What will be the disadvantage if I don’t do the 265 75 16? This is a brand new truck and I want to keep the odometer as close as possible.

    Then go with 265/70/16s...
    The difference will be 3mm of additional positive scrub(14mm vs 11mm).
    Just make sure your alignment includes some toe-in to compensate.

    Here's a video explaining scrub radius.
