    Not ideal, but Tire Rack's website is decent at visualizing different wheels on vehicles. Here are the 707s:

    Wrong bolt pattern TireRack, get with it visualizer…

    OP, I don’t like many aftermarket wheels, but these look like a winner.

    Right? You had one job TireRack. Amateurs...

    Thanks for the feedback. I tend to over analyze this stuff but then I usually end up pretty happy with my decision. It's down to these, the 703s, or the Evo Corse DakarZeros/DakarSuperZeros.

    OK, wanted to put a bow on this thread and provide some info that would hopefully help others.

    I just bought qty 5 of the Method 707s in 18x9", +25mm offset and Toyo AT3s in 285/70R18 load E from America's Tire here in SLO.
    10.jpg 9.jpg 11.jpg 12.jpg 13.jpg 7.jpg

    So far I'm really happy how it looks and drives. This size tire seemed like the perfect compromise between what I wanted (285/75/R18) and what I probably should've got (275/70R18). I do wish these wheels came in a 17x8.5", +40 or +35mm offset. Unfortunately, they don't. I'm sure I would've been happy with the Method 703s in those specs also, but I really like the look of the 707s and I hadn't seen them on a Tundra yet.

    I obviously have some rub on the plastic from the size of the tires and the offset of the wheels. I'm getting a bit of rub on the front mud flaps, so I ordered some Rokblokz which should help/solve that issue. The little flap in front of the wheel has already been removed, but I still have a fair amount of rubbing on the plastic liner. Plan is to push it forward and then use a heat gun to get more room or do some trimming. I'm hoping to avoid bumper spacers, but will do that next if i can't get the front plastic completely out of the way. Note that I'm on the stock Platinum suspension so it's pretty easy to find everywhere it rubs. Plan is to eventually add a 1-2" lift after the tires are fully clear.

    Since I had the 5th wheel/tire, it was easy to take some measurements.

    Published weight for the new setup was 85.1lbs (wheels: 28.1lbs; tires: 57lbs)
    Actual bathroom scale weight with TPMS and wheel balancing weights installed was 88.6lbs, so not bad.

    This is compared to the stock 20x8", 60mm offset wheels and Goodyear Wrangler tires in 275/55R20 load SL at 82.0lbs

    And stock spare 18" steel wheel and the Michelins in 255/70R18 at 73.8lbs.8.jpg

    The new Method/Toyo setup measured ~33.5" tall off the truck and ~32.7" on the truck.
    1.jpg 2.jpg

    Poke varied a fair amount, with the passenger's side sticking out ~1.1" and the driver's side sticking out ~0.7"
    Here is the driver's side front:
    3.jpg

    And the passenger's side rear (truck is parked on the side of the road which is why it's not level):

    I hope this helps someone and let me know if you have any questions!
