    I second @jewsNbrews opinion on tire size. The 285/65/18 are a little bigger than the stock size and would look great, especially if you aren't planning to level it right now.

    I love them. Although they are the stock size tire, IMHO the BFGoodrich AT KO2 looks aggressive and gives the look/performance I want without adding too much weight.

    With that said I have stock suspension and stock wheels so I don't need to worry about it looking like my truck skipped leg day.

    Here is a picture of me showcasing @Pudge 's maple syrup, but it's a decent close up I have at the ready to show the look.

    Man that looks killer! I want to do the same but don't have temporary rims and tires to use while they powder coat and too cheap to spend on a whole new spare set. Wonder how many tundra brothers are in the same predicament as me . Haha

    We should have a loaner set of steel rims and tires for tundra peeps who are dying to do the same thing .lol. Like a loaner set in each city. Lol .

    LOOKS FRICKIN AWESOME MAN! Wished Toyota would make them like this stock.

    Thanks man! @Borgs and I split the cost of used steelies and did exactly what you mentioned. We are on the opposite coast though.

    What is a considered a good deal on rims and powder coat to get this result?

    Local dealer can do $250 per rim including powder coat and pro cap.

    I found a set of those rims including tires with 5,000 miles on them for $700 in Utah. Would just need to powder coat, caps, and tires since my truck has 20 inch rims.

    I found a set of these rims on eBay for $600 shipped and got them powder coated here in the Bay Area for $100 a rim..

    That price is way too high, you would be better off buying new wheelswhee selling your old ones.. I think my guy was $60/wheel. I picked up the center caps from @Roman at Toyota Of Cool Springs. I also had to pay for dismount/mount & balance .
