    From what I understand, nothing has changed with the 2019s. With that said, you may have to do some trimming or a CMC to run 35s with an offset that low. The consensus on here is that +25 to +35 is the sweet spot. But what works with one Tundra may pose problems for another one similarly situated. Either way, looking forward to photos of your setup once you get it done!

    I found a set of Rock warriors which are 17's. They are tougher to put on because of the size of the brakes. The brakes actually rubbed some of the weights for balancing it was so close.

    What's the
    what are the specs on those? Is it only certain 17in wheels that clear?

    My rock warrior wheels just barely clear the brakes as well. My weights were in a spot where they didn't rub. Pretty sure any 17" wheel will clear the brakes though.

    I am unsure what the offset is on the rock warriors. I agree that any 17" wheel should fit.

    These are my wheels. Got the tires with them so going to wear them out before upgrading.

    EDIT: Misread, they're +50 offset, not +60 like the rest of the stock wheels.

    Those red Fuels are awesome! Have to be careful with certain 17" wheels, a guy I know just bought 17s and brand new stt pros went to mount the wheels and they hit the brake calipers. Sean Hillaker is running RW wheels and 37 13.50 17s on 3.5" lift with 3/4" wheel spacers. Truck looks awesome!

    17" Methods fit, but are 0 offset and will have a wide tire sweep when turning. So trimming is required. 18" has offset.

    Very close to the caliper on 17"s though. Be mindful of where the balancing shop puts the weights.

    Man I wish the RG's in 295/70R17 had a "C" load version. I have no need for "E" load rated tires or the firmer ride, extra weight and lower gas milage that comes with them :(

    I think that is the exact setup I want (295/70/17 RG's with Icon's 17's Rebounds but in titanium) :cheers:

    My only hesitation is, your rig is obviously lifted (or at least leveled) mine is stock and I'm not sure if that combo will fit on a stock suspension? ThundraSr5 fit them on his stock but with a different wheel offset and no front bumper?

    I'm lifted 2.5" in the front and 1.25" in the back. I had to remove the small aero flaps in front as I barely rubbed in reverse 3/4 turn.

    I know coachbuilder makes some bumper spacers that might help you fit them if you don't want to buy an aftermarket bumper or lift the truck

    I love mine, but just want to make sure you are aware how far they stick out with the 0 offset. It will be an inch or 2 past your fenders. I didn't think it would be that bad on mine, but it's pretty wide. I don't mind it, just wider than i anticipated. Also cant be afraid to trim If you're gonna run a true 35 on a 2.5 inch lift.

    I actually like the lower offset look on all Vehicles, as long as it's not 3/4 of the way out. I have a shop here in central Texas doing a bmc on it. Thanks!

    Wow even with a 2.5" lift, you still had some minor rubbing? That's disappointing seeing how even if I did lift mine, it would probably be no more then 2"? Good to know either way. Thanks

    I’m guessing it’s the wheel offset that makes it more likely to rub. TRD Pros with only 2” of front lift and stock wheel offset of about +60 don’t seem to rub as much, if at all. The less offset (more they stick out), the more prone they are to rub the front bumper plastic liner or body mount or both, depending on tire size. On the other hand, the more offset, the more prone they are to rub the skid plate or upper control arm.

    I agree, its all a balancing act. Sticking with the factory +60 offset wheels is not an option for me as the main reason I want to upgrade is I feel the factory wheel are too recessed into the wheel wells. I'm looking for a wheel/tire package that will bring them out flush or just slightly protruding from the wheel wells but without having to lift it. Seems to me, a +25 offset wheel (to no more then a +20) is where I need to be. I was hoping to be able to run a 33" tall tire (like the 295/70-17) but it seems like that will be pushing it with no lift? I know some have installed 285/65-18 (a 32.5" tire) with no lift or issues so I'm thinking a 285/70-17 (which is roughly about the same size) should work?

    Before my 2" lift and removal of the bumper liner, I ran 275/70/18 (33") on MB 352 wheels with +25 offset and no lift. I had rubbing on the front little flap in reverse and while turning. I'm now running 285/75/17 (33.8") on Icon Rebounds with +25 offset. I removed the plastic bumper liner and have no rubbing with 2" of lift. I think you should be fine with 285/70/17s and +25 offset. You might have a bit of rubbing on the front little flap, but you can easily remove that.

    Love the FN's on the 18. What was the specs in the wheel and lift? Is that the gunmetal color?

    17” Rebounds with 315/70r17 ko2’s.
    3/1 suspension, only had to remove the front mud flaps and push the fender liner in 1/2” towards the bumper by drilling new holes for it.

    Nice! Rebounds look good. Is about level at 3/1? I was thinking 3/2 for some rake
