2019 build. Will 305/65r18 leave me with regrets ?

Building a new truck next week. 19 CrewMax Ltd/TRD Cement.

I currently drive a '14 CrewMax. About 100K miles into running it stock I decided to modify it a bit. Right now it's leveled to kind of mimic a Pro (Bilstein 5100s) and I run KO2 285/65r18. I love the ride of it. But the look is a little too meh....

So, I'm looking for gut reactions to two plans:

A) Keep it simple > stock wheels, 5100s and just increase tires modestly to 305/65/r18
B) New wheels > Method NV or Stealth Runner 8s go a bit further to 295/70r18 and level it again using 5100s ?

 

295s gets my vote. Here’s mine

 

That's Bad Ass

 

I’m actually going to go 35x12.5s this summer.

 

295/70’s currently?

 

Yes sir

 

Nice. How much chopping you do?

 

I found a crazy good thread on this tire size. It looks like some trimming is required in wheel well behind fog lamps but nothing crazy. That gets you to ~ 34.5 x 11.5 tire #s. Most trucks are Pro model in the thread. But I think provided front end level is achieved via suspension (2-2.5") it should work for TRD-Bro models ??? Anyone think different ? https://www.tundras.com/threads/295-70-18-ridge-grappler-and-method-wheels-on-my-pro.10507/

 

Just the inner liner up front about 3-4in and removed the front mud flaps...0 offset wheels to

 

295/70 is a great size for Tundras. Give you that 35"s look without the extra work to make it fit.

 

Classic! Hahaha I was wondering if someone was going to comment on that.

 

Classic movie for sure LOL

 

Hope she has a monkey tattoo on her back!

 

So what are you doing with the '14 truck?

 

sub'd

 

I have a cement tundra and I have that third picture saved on my phone because I like that build so much

 

I feel like you could do a black out grill by simply having the dealer switch Ltd with the SR base model grille and surround ? It makes it look pretty cool/unique and it's factory... maybe a little confusing for some die hards tho. Maybe switch out painted/chrome bumpers parts as well ?

 

Definitely get rid of the chrome. I'd say color match where possible but with cement some parts are ridiculously expensive so I'm just going to go with a matte black. But the black surround is definitely different.

 

I just put 295/70s on my stock rims. They look soooooo much better.

 

Is that leveled or lift ?

 

It's a 3/1 level.

 

Im sitting on 305/65r18s!
No chopping of anything on fox 2.5s

Just saying

 

Trading it in. 124K still getting good $ for it

 

I’d say go 295/70, maybe even 285/75. Depends on whether you want more of a wider look or height in your tires. I think the 295/70’s are a pretty good compromise.

You keepin the same wheels?

 

Truck looks great with the 295/70/18 with stock rims! Which 3/1 level did you go with and do you have any more pics from the side?

 

Ya definitely

 

My vote is for 285/75R18; I prefer my tires as tall and narrow as I can get them:
