295s installed!

installed my new 295/70/18
Falken Wildpeaks today on my 19 at 397 miles!

Love them! Quiet smooth and look way better than stock tires


Stock wheels, no spacers....(yet)
Bilstein 5100 top setting
2 coachbuilder shims on driver side, 1 on passenger side
No lift in rear... (yet)


Rubbing slightly on skid plate at full lock, took that off during install and am gonna trim this weekend

No rubbing on fenders or anything else though

But Very close to UCA


Overall very pleased

 

Looks great. The black bumper makes the truck look taller!

 

Que bueno!

 

Nice. Same size here. And just grind or take off that little section of skid plate. It’s really nbd and I ended up getting 1.25 spacers because I had about .25” between the uca. Perfect size tire tho

 

Nice, those are 34's .

 

Probably 34-34.5 x 11.5

 

what did you use to black out the bumpers?

 

Yeah I’m probably gonna get spacers.
Which ones do you have?
Do you have pictures?

 

Plastidip! 4 coats
Color matches perfectly

 

295/70R18 tires have a diameter of 34.3", a section width of 11.6", and a wheel diameter of 18". The circumference is 107.6" and they have 589 revolutions per mile. Generally they are approved to be mounted on 7.5-10" wide wheels. Better mpg

 

Bora 1.25. From wheelers off-road. And I actually impulse bought them and got them and realized I ordered Tacoma spacers. And they sent me new ones for free. So they’re cool people. And let me look. I have flares (for now going to take them off)

 

That looks awesome!! Those Falkens look pretty mean in a 295!

 

Truck Looks Great! My Wildpeaks are on the way. Just waiting on my rims.

 

What is this “shim” talk with the 5100s on the tundras? Never needed those for my gm trucks. Confused. Those Falkens are going on my 15’ next week. Nothing but good things I hear about these tires

 

A shim is installed above the coilover. You gain .5" of an inch of lift for every .25" shim. https://www.boss4x4s.com/boss_4x4s_elevated_suspension_shims_07_and_toyota_tundra

 

Thanks. Can just run the 5100s with no shims and be fine. correct? Or is it for a leaning truck or something?

 

shims are just an extra little spacer that goes on the top of the coil. these are totally optional. some use them to get extra lift and others use them to correct the left-to-right lean of the truck. each spacer is 1/4 inch for an extra lift of about 1/2 inch. keep in mind, however, that with spacers that go on top of the coils, you are increasing the length of the coil/shock assembly. with hard wheeling, this can cause your shock to bottom out and destroy itself.

 

Correct. I had almost a .5" difference between the DF and PF of the truck.

Thanks fellas. New to the tundra. And just kept seeing shims for the 5100s. Just never heard of this before is all. Ordering 5100s soon.

 

Looks great! Thinking of that same size tire...

 

Nice your truck looks killer. The tire size is perfectly sized!!

 

That looks amazing! I've been thinking about doing this same tire/wheel setup too.

 

Perfectly proportioned.NICE!!!

 

Looking good.

 

Hows the 5100's at top setting ride compared to stock? I'm between those or the 6112s thanks

 

Right on, Im actually sitting at the tire shop getting the same size!

 

6112s will sh*t on 5100s everyday. They’re supposed to. 5100s are a stock replacement where as the 6112 is a pure upgraded replacement setup.

 

Yea man! You right. Love the 6112’s. I look like a Baja driver running down these ragged streets in Houston, just flyin over sh*t!

 

I did the 1.25 Spidertrax spacers. The clearance between the tire and the UCA concerned me, especially when aired down. I've only heard a rub four times, I don't know where and I can't duplicate it.

 

No CMC needed? That's the same set up same tires and wheels except In running a readylift 3/1.5
