Father Son project, Cheap black wheels?

Just my two cents worth for the simplest and most cost-effective tire/wheel/lift solution having just gone through a lot to be able to fit 32" tall x 12" wide 305s

For the simplest and least expensive set up with the tire/wheel size options that have already been listed don't go any higher than 32.6 inches on 275 or 285s Those will fit with the proper backspacing which is crucial with 2 inches of lift through your springs or 2 1/2 inches with a Leveling kit. Make sure the wheels are hubcentric. Otherwise, you have to use hub rings or spacers which complicates matters. If you go with 265s at no more than 32" tall then it even gets more simple


At 31.5 to 32.6" height tires with the proper backspacing all you have to do other than the lift is to possibly bend the pinch weld and Trim some plastic in addition to removing the mug flaps on the front. I was able to get my plastic out the way with some extra snaps and twist ties, but you could also heat it and bend it. disclaimer: mine was on a 2006 double cab. It could vary slightly with your model.


If you go above 2" (maybe 2-1/2" leveling) of lift then the expenses go way up with different control arms, etc.

to me the sweet spot is 31.5" to 32.6" on 265/275/285's to keep it simple and the most cost-effective

I wanted 18 inch wheels but for 305s at my preferred height my options were too limited. And the prices can go way up for some of the less common size options so just check your tire and price options for your chosen size as well. I didn't want a tire size that was uncommon so I would have more options with different brands

Some people complain about how hard the pinch weld mod can be and they end up cutting them or doing a lot and I mean a lot of hammering etc. it didn't take me any time to do mine because I found you could bend the pinch weld using vice grip pliers, and I used the hole at the end of an adjustable wrench to give me more leverage because otherwise it is very hard to bend.

now, with that method you are not getting the pinch weld bent quite as far as hammering / cutting it flat. To do that you would have to do a lot of additional hammering and trust me that's where it gets difficult. Using my method I was able to bend it roughly 75% back which took care of my issue and would most likely take care of yours assuming you stick within the size ranges I mentioned.





Again, experiences may vary but that should still be in the ballpark for your truck while keeping everything simple and the least expensive

 

Thanks again! Love to see your truck!

 

Thanks Weagle! Appreciate……so 285 75 16 work out to 32.8…..so a touch too high unless my math is wrong?

 

I know a lot of folks like the big rubber but I’m going to vote for 265/75r16’s. Less wear on already weak ish front components, better mileage, no rubbing, better ride

 

Hard to say, I just know what I worked with

I don't think there's exact number, but the more you increase the size the more likely you are to run into rubbing modifications




And I am far from a definitive source for toyota tires and wheels and fitment. But there are several other tire wheel combo threads that have good examples for what will and won't work and/or what mods will need to be made.


this first thread helped me because you can find examples people who have already done this. Most likely someone has already done what you would like to do.
