    So I just got some 295/70/18 Falken wildpeak AT3W that I was going to install on the 17’ TRD pro wheels, but now I’m deciding to get some new FN BFD wheels to go with the Falken tires , what size FN BFD wheels do I order?? 18x9 ??
    where do I order those wheels and where’s the best price?
    My TRD pro wheels are 18x8 I believe

    Also with the 295/70/18 and FN BFD wheels, are there going to be any rubbing issues? I’m still on stock TRD suspensions

    rubbing will depend on your lift and what backspacing on the rims. stock OR package wheels are +60 offset. So you need to check and see what the backspacing/offset is for the wheels you want. Generally +18 to +35 will fit well, have less rubbing issues vs. rims with more negative offset.

    I replied to you in the other thread, but this was a set of 18x9 BFDs on 295/70r18 Wildpeaks that sold. You can see it sticks out slightly less than the photos of BFDs in the other thread since these are the newer +18 offset version that are now flow formed vs cast (and therefore stronger):

    And here are photos of another member with a stock Pro with BFDs and 295s, but different tires. The Wildpeaks look better to me, and I wouldn't run the center caps:

    It's tough to beat the stock Pro wheels that are forged and 27 lbs. But the BFD is only 22-23 lbs, one of the lightest 18" wheel you can buy for the Tundra.

    As you can tell, I seriously considered this wheel before deciding on 17" Titan 7 wheels.

    With the emphasis on "less rubbing issues". I personally am not cool with ANY rubbing.
    The +20's with tall skinnies 275/65/20, i decided on still required a few hours on the driveway to remove the mudflaps (later i cut them and put them back on) and the front needed the spats removed and the liners had to be pushed forward.
    Had i not done any of that it would rub when the suspension flexed modestly and every time i reversed the truck. It gets old very quick so be aware, there will likely be additional work to make it right.
