    Hey everyone! My name is AJ and recently just bought my second Tundra. It's a 2018 SR5 4x4 crew max. I am wanted to upgrade my wheels without upgrading my tires since they are brand new and wanted to see what yinz think. I am looking at Black Rhino Highlands, they are 18x9. The stock tires are 255/70r18. Will these tires work with the new rims?

    I was also wondering about suggestions on leveling kits. I want the truck to be 100% level what suggestions do yinz have to make that happen.

    Hahaha 831Tun I knew in making this purchase I would go broke. But we can't take it with us when we're dead, might as well enjoy it while we're here!

    Grey Wolf, why do you not recommend the spacer leveling? Never mind I see your response! I wont be doing any heavy offroading in the Tundra, it's also my daily driver.

    You should be OK then. ToyTec has a nice spacer lift for you!

    From my knowledge its normally because of variations in the off road environment, spacers cause your suspension to sit higher from my understanding and can cause it to bottom out if you hit a decently sized divot. I stand behind that if your going to do a lift, get new coilovers because a spacer is just another part of the puzzle that can fail

    There are different types of spacers. You want to avoid pre loading your coils.

    Thanks! I fell in love with the inferno color as soon as I saw it on the Pro's. Just didn't care for their price tag!

    It snowed last year in Florida, since it was such a rare occurrence I had to take a pic of it.
