Wheel Thread...post them up

My quicksand DCORSB will be in next week. I want to run the Stealth 6 in the 17 x 8.5" wheels with KO2's. Will this work w stock suspension? What size tires? any rubbing? or what do i need to do to make it work?

New to this world.

 

What size tires do you want to run? I run Stealth 6 17s with 265/70/17 nitto g2s and 2 inches up front is needed to not rub with mud flaps. I run bilsteins at 1.75 with 1/4 tops plates.

 

Just got back from Discount Tire. They did the installation. You will loose the individual tire pressure readout if you swap the steel wheel sensors upside down in the alloy wheels. The yellow warning light stays out. Also, the sensors are now "sticking up" and not flat against the wheel. The dealer guy told me that is why I'm not going to get the pressure readout. The alloy wheel sensors at DT were 60 bucks a piece. I don't intend to dis-mount these tires for a few years, so I'm going to deal with it. If you are swapping from the stock steel wheels, you will need all new lug nuts. DT quoted me 6 bucks a piece. He gave them to me for 3. It wasn't cheap, but has totally changed the truck. After only 500 miles, I love this thing. The drive home was totally quiet and vibration free.

Just got my wheels and tires on today

 

What size? 265/75R16? or 265/70? Also what load range on those K02? C or E?

 

Running 265/70/17's C's.

Seriously considering that combo. Did you notice any difference at all in acceleration or anything from the stock setup? I really want to avoid throwing off the speedo, odometer, hurting fuel economy, or bogging down the acceleration.


So to keep OEM TPMS individual tire readout you need to buy the $60 sensors?

 

Haven't done a GPS comparison yet. The stocks were off slightly with the GPS. THe truck handles fine and seems to respond great. I think they are going to be great.
The shipping weight from FedEx for all 4 wheels was 60 lbs.

Gary please update if you do a GPS check, would be very much obliged! Your rig looks sweet.

 

Will do.

 

Also, I asked the dealer about the sensors, and he told me "we just turn them around". Not even sure the DT guy knew for sure if he could get them to work with the 2016. The yellow tire light stays out after the reset. Seems like no one really knows. Whatever sensor is in the Sport should work. Not sure that is the exact sensor the DT guy was going to sell me. 60 at DT is probably a lot more at the dealer.

Here's the before.

Got 18" xd monsters with 265/60 nitto terra grappler G2s

 

FJ trail team wheels
Cooper st Maxx 255/75r16

 

OE tire size for sport is 265/65r17. Offroad is 265/70r16

 

265/60/R18

 

Yes it's 265/60R18. I really haven't noticed a difference in the ride quality at all, although it does feel a little more stable, but that might also just be my imagination. Other than that, it's looking like a loss of 1-2 mpg, but no significant difference in power or noise on the highway. Really happy with how it turned out.

 

Just did a GPS check. Cruise control on 70. GPS , 71-72
