    TRD Offroad
    Tires: 265/60R20 112H – Made in Japan
    Rims: 20x8.5J – Made in Mexico
    Wheel weight: 72.8 lbs

    TRD Pro
    Tires: 285/65R18 116T – Made in Japan
    Rims:18x8.5J BBS – Made in Japan
    Wheel weight: 70.8 lbs

    Interesting that they are so close in weight. I thought the 18’s would be more than 2 lbs lighter.

    The thing I noticed after swapping the TRD Offroad to the TRD Pro wheels is the steering. I think the slightly wider tire makes the steering feel a bit slower, but more solid on the road.

    My truck is totally stock. No lift and no spacers. The TRD Pro setup does push out slightly more than the TRD Offroad setup, and I really like how it looks.

    Hopefully this information helps anyone else thinking about the swap.

    UPDATE: After driving a few days, I do notice a bit more tire noise on the new tires. I think they are slightly more aggressive tires, but not by much. I notice the noise a bit more when cornering at higher speeds.

    Any difference in ride quality on bumpy roads?

    My truck came with the TRD Offroad package and I swapped those wheels out for the TRD Pro after 14K miles. In addition to what I mentioned in the original post about ride quality, it does feel a bit softer. This is most likely due to the additional 1" of air cushion I now have after going to a smaller rim. I only have about 50 miles on the new setup so far, and it rides a bit smoother. My wife noticed on the rough roads the truck seems a bit more smooth as well.

    I did what Tundra Dan did at 6k miles...now have 17k and no complaints...rolling on 20's or even 22's like the Capstone is going to cost you ultimate ride but could give slight efficiency improvements due to reduced rolling resistance from sidewall flex. Once you go beyond that with 34, 35, or even 37 inch tires and level like the TRD Pro or lift your increasing drag and rolling resistance...I can still get an honest 20 mpg highway if I keep it under 80 ha. Speed and looking badass costs $...how cool do you want to be and how long do you want your suspension and driveline components to last?

    Yep, the 18s and more rubber give a softer ride and better protection IMO..

    Not to mention the cost for 18" tires is less, so 2 replacements about cover the cost of moving to the 18" rim.

    Not when you put 35" tires on those 18" wheels. Ask me how I know.

    In Canada the TRD OR comes from the factory with 18 inch wheels and tires, not 20's. Which I believe is the right way to go. However we don't get all the various upgrade packages here as in the USA. Go figure.

    OP, can you list the offsets of those wheels? You stated that the Pro's 18" pushes the tires out more than the OR's 20" so I'm curious what the offsets are.

    Also, wheel weight means Rim + Tire, correct?

    Thanks

    According to the guy I purchased the wheels from, the offset is +50.

    You are correct, wheel weight is the rims + tires. I'll try to get a picture down the side so you can see the slight difference. It's not a HUGE difference, but noticeable and I like it.

    The difference from 18s to 20s usually is negligible when utilizing the same OD tire. Yes, the 18” wheel is lighter, but the tire contains more rubber and steel in it. 20” wheel is heavier, but less rubber, etc. just run what you want and what fits your needs.

    I mean, it's nice and all, but I prefer a little more poke. I have 35x12.50 on a Method wheel with a +18 offset. Obviously my 3" lift fits them, but the poke is what gives it the stance I love. Yes, my set-up is much heavier, and yes my mileage has suffered. But damn, it looks good.

    Were you expecting something different? It’s still an oem wheel with the same high offset as other factory wheels. No oem wheel is going to come out past the fender well.

    Nope! Just noting that they stick out a bit farther than the 20" TRD Offroad tires. Maybe I should say they fill the wheel well a bit better. They are almost an inch wider tire.

    Agree that it looks a bit better with a slightly wider stance, but I had a previous truck setup with a wider stance and it constantly threw mud down the side of the truck and I couldn't take that! It always looked terribly dirty.

    Anybody run 285/60R or 275/60R on the TRD off road stock 20inch wheels? I don't have a lift kit or anything - and I'm trying to figure out how much room i have to go a little wider and taller with the stock setup. 2024 1794 edition.

    Lots of people run 285/60/R20 or 275/65/R20 (slightly taller) on OEM 20" wheel without issues. These are the 2 BIGGEST sizes you can get in P-rated.

    In MN, we have it bad. Rocks and mud in the summer, and snow, ice, salt and sand in the winter. Here, it would be worth it to have PPF.

    I run 285/65/20, 34.6”. No lift and no rub.
    I’d prefer 17’s or 18’s but don’t care for yota options and fnwheels was out of stock so I tried the 20’s. Still plenty of sidewall but a bit stiff. E rated helps. :anonymous:IMG_3392.png

    I had +18 on my 22 with a 3” lift…loved the wider stance.

    On my 24 Pro I have gotten used to the flush (with 35s) look so I don’t think I am going to change it.
    Other 2 reasons are that I like the BBS wheels and I don’t care for spacers.

    I think the TRD Pro wheels are -47.5 offset? I like the touch wider stance while staying inside the fender.

    17"s with 34's. Rear seat hammock for the dog, de-chromed/silvered.
    I almost immediately moved to 17" wheels/tires on my 23" TRD-OR.
    Even though I have E load rated tires, they are immensely smoother. (And yes, I tow about 10k lbs regularly, so I went higher load rating.)
    Its actually funny that they put 20s on an "off road" variant because the first thing you'll do is trash rim with the small sidewall if you do anything other than drive on a fire road or to kiss a curb. If you stay around a 33 to 34" overall dia., you'll never worry about that again with ~8.5" of sidewall.

    Tires make up a huge part of the suspension, so because of a bigger overall contact patch on a smaller rim/larger tire, traction, stopping, everything is enhanced.

    So yeah, good call with going down a couple inches.
