Pics for Comparison

I’ve been going between if I could just have one mod, would it be to level the truck or put spacers for a more aggressive stance.

Any thoughts and/or pics of your own trucks with just one or the other (like just having Bilistien 5100s with stock tires and wheels (even a bigger tire but stock wheels))?

 

Only ONE mod?!














That's going to be a very personal decision, because neither is going to be hugely performance impacting. It's all going to be a matter of preference. The stance improvement can be had without spacers(new wheels if the budget allows), so I would go that route if you decide on stance. Personally, I like the factory rake and I won't run spacers, so that'd be my go to. Prime example are the SCS Ray 10 wheels. CementTurdOffRoad is a member here and he had them on a stock suspension with 275/70/R18 tires, and it was beautiful. https://www.tundras.com/threads/wha...d-gen-tundra-today.713/page-1061#post-1434584 this should get you to the post where I asked him about it.

 

I was pretty happy when I found those wheels. It's the exact thing I want for my truck.
@SCSPerformance is the manufacturer of the wheels and they have a presence on the forum. As far as I know they can only be bought direct or at select places that stock them. To get that stance you would just need any wheel with the same specs. I see you are in Utah, so I am not sure how far you are willing to travel or how much you have in the budget, but there is a member in CO that is setting a set. >> https://www.tundras.com/threads/colorado-scs-ray-10s-matte-gunmetal-800.58150/

 

Keep in mind, since your truck is a different body style there might be slight differences. I don't know anything about the previous gen trucks, so you might see if any 2 gen guys have these and can give you a heads up on any trimming they had to do or anything.

Fair warning, the SCS website is a bit wonky too. If I were going to order them I would try to do it by phone.

 

How does this wheel fit a 275 70 R18 tire and has it stick out like this for the tundra? I currently have that size tire.

 

That is because of the offset of the wheel itself.

 

I could choose just one mod for my truck, I would definitely go with hot babe in the passenger seat.

Definitely improves my truck driving experience.

I married mine

 

Amen, and same story with me with 3 munchkins in the back

 

You, Sir, are on the right track.

 

I have 275/70/18s...stock suspension. Nitto RG’s. SCS Ray10s. Love em. I have poke photos somewhere on a thread..

 

I just wonder if that size would work on a 2nd Gen. since they seem a little wider than the 3rd Gen?

 

I had a second gen, but didn’t have this size tire. Not sure but I think there are pics of second gens with this size.

 

I was given this link but only found on 2nd gen with this size but maybe there’s a better way to find them?

It says on there these tires won’t fit my truck but they do. You may need to bend your skid plate a little, or cut your mud flaps (I did) and they fit fine. Wheel offset is important. My Ray10s are +25.

This may help

Thank you. I’ve been riding on 275x70x18 for 1.5 years and don’t have rubbing either. I just want to keep stock ride with just the tires out of the wheel wells a little for stance. What is wheel offset? I’ve had someone recommend 20+ or 30+

 

Offset is the distance of the wheel mounting surface from the centerline of the wheel measured in millimeters. It’s a little confusing as it depends on wheel width too. My wheels are 18x9. And positive offset pulls the wheel inward, meaning if you want lots of “poke” you may have a negative offset. The amount your tires stick out of your wheel well. With a 9” width I have just a little poke (seen here)

 

The owner of SCS is named Vin. He is on here and Tacoma world...he would be a good guy to reach out to. Highly recommend the wheelset, it’s my favorite purchase on my truck. @SCSPerformance

 

You have a white truck in your avatar..if so, Go bronze..wish I had the balls to put bronze on my MGM..
