    2011 Tundra Limited 4x4 5.7L
    Installed Bilstein 5100 shocks front & rear. Front set at first ring (0.85"). Attempting to get this 2011 Tundra off-road ready.
    Need some input on this, so any help would be appreciated. I'm looking at replacing the 20” tires and rims currently on my 2011 tundra with 18x8” OEM rims off a 2014 tundra. Need to know if this will be a good combination for the moderate off-road driving I plan to do, I'll be running BFGoodrich 275/70R18 All-Terrain T/A KO2.


    Willing to consider suggestions of other combinations of rim and tire sized as long as the tires stay within the fender wells.

    Thanks

    yes, 275/70 is a great size on a tundra. Fits stock truck, but still looks good with a level or 2 inch lift. Little bigger for better off road use but not so huge to have a major impact on MPG and performance, will take a hit however, 1-2 MPG depending on tire weight and tread.

    That size will be E load, so be aware. They will ride firmer than the stock standard load tires.

    There is a whole thread for 275/70-18 tires with tons of pics and info here in the wheel/tire forum

    275 is a stock tire for tundra so it should fit perfectly.

    Make sure the shop installing them BFG KO2 have road force balance, if not the steering may shake time to time like it’s unbalance. I just installed some 275/70-18 KO2 on my truck a few months ago, loving it so far…hope u enjoy it too…lol

    Learn something new everyday. Had to look up "road force balancing." Good tip, will have to keep that in mind.
