18x9 or 17x8.5 Method 312?

Looking for suggestions or recommendations on the listed wheels. Both will be going on my 21 tundra and wrapped in 35 x 12.5 tires. Does anybody know if one will fit better than the other as far as rubbing goes?

will the sidewall beefiness be substantially noticeable?

 

I went with the 18x9 on my 2020 for two reasons. I already had like new 18" tires and I wanted the +18 offset. Biggest down fall to the 18" is tire price difference from 17 to 18 imo.

 

depends, offset is going to be key, what are the offsets of the wheels you are considering?

 

17’s will be a 0 offset and 18’s a +18.

 

zero offset is a lot, you would need to mod to clear and probably need a BMC.

for reference https://www.tundras.com/threads/how-i-fit-35s-with-no-rubbing.93184/

 

Or a wheel spacer with 17s. I went with 18s and 295/70s.

 

Any issues with lock to lock turning?

 

None at all forward/reverse lock/lock. She is a pavement princess so I can’t attest to off-road articulation.

 

what suspension or lift?

 

I run 17X12.5 with no BMC. I did have to trim the bumper a little bit and remove the mud flaps. I have a 3" lift with SPC UCAs. I have changed my bumper since then but that wasn't because of the tires.

 

Icon 2.5 non resi with stock UCA. Set at 2.25” of lift.
