    I got the Toytec/Eibach kit from Toytec: Went with an add a leaf (AAL) in the rear instead of blocks. Installed it in my driveway with basic tools.

    I'm just running stock TRD Off-road tires, which are +60 offset. I believe a 0 offset would poke out too far, unless you don't mind the look and/or rocks kicking up on the side of your truck. Somewhere in between like +30 looks good I think. Just enough poke without needing flares.

    Also running Cooper STT Pros at 295/70/18. They were cheaper than the duratracs and are just as good from what I hear.

    I would say an 18x9 +40 ish. Mine are +20 and they stick out about an inch but I prefer that look and will sacrifice some chips

    Here's mine with stock wheels (+60) and Cooper tires which I hear are a little wider than standard 295s:

    Can kinda of see how far they poke out here. I think they’re near perfect. Might opt for slightly more aggressive even.

    Both ways look great. But I would sway towards flush or less as I would like to minimize rock chips.

    I honestly wish my poked out a bit more, but didn't want to spend money on wheels and had rubbing issues that I just didn't want to deal with with 1.25" spacers on, which would have been similar to +30offset on stock wheels.

    With my flares on, I can’t reliably tell where the wheel well sits naked.

    Safest best is someone who has stock wheels/tires can measure and subtract the number of mm from 60 to reach flush, that would be on the 11” wide stock tire. A different width tire would change that offset. And where it matters would also be where the rock catching lugs end which is not necessarily the full width of the tire. Not sure that makes sense.

    Go Duratracs, I loved them when I had them on my 01 4Runner, those bastards got me thru 13 inches of snow when I was at college. I am just burning thru the tires I got now before I put them on the tunny

    I think I am leaning towards 3" front and 1.5" in back toytec suspension.

    Hey, man. Welcome and congrats on the new rig. Given all the really good advice you've already gotten, I'll keep it short: slow down and don't commit that much money without doing a sufficient amount of homework. I dove in and got a leveling kit and wheels/tires within a week of getting my '18 and I regret not waiting a little longer to figure out exactly what I needed. Besides, Black Friday is comin' up, so what's the rush?

    Best of luck!

    True but I’ve had mine for a little over a year and it’s not a problem! You just have to make sure it is aligned right! I don’t have any better photos right now. But this was shot right after I got KINGS!

    ^ See OP, you could look like this if you choose the wrong stuff. Go 3/1 and +20 wheels you’ll be set

    Agree, if I had to guess, I would say the same +40 on a stock 11.0" wide tire would make it flush with the wheel well. I honestly can't remember if stock tires were tucked.

    Offset is in mm and tires/wheels are usually listed in inches wide so there's this back and forth conversion going on to see how much they'll stick out (25mm = 1inch).

    I'm only 2.5"/1.5" lift, slight rake but level when towing. 295/70R18 Nitto RG's (34.29x11.77") on +18x9 Method Mesh, Bushwacker color matched flares.

    Edit: I wouldn’t want the truck any bigger. It’s about 6” taller now between lift and tires. I love the size!

    That's awesome, reminds me of this when I was first looking at lifts/tires, love the look of Assaults on a white Tundra, 2018 grille and hood scoop is sweet!

    I wanted the 20x10, but choosing between a +20 on 20x9 or -18 on 20x10 was a no brainer. I would have to be cutting for days and they were just going to stick out too far. Wish I could have made it work, but it wasn’t in the cards...

    No, what you did is spot on, your vertical lug spacing is still tucked. That 2015 is probably all cut up on the side off a gravel/dirt road. Doesn't take much to find one whether new suburban development or just outside the city.
