Official Tundra Wheel and Tire Setups - Pics and Info

Got it done and love it! Method 316's +25 offset 17's...Toyo AT3 35 12.5 17....sits so pretty! No body mount chop!

 

A while back, my dad upgraded from the 2002 to a 2003 Tundra. This thread was a great help in finding a +2 wheel setup for him. He went from the stock 265/70-16 to 265/60-18 wheels from a 2015 Lexus GX460. Here's the comparison that shows there is just a 10mm difference in offset and a width increase of just 0.5". We haven't detected any interference.

Toyota | Lexus
Lugs : 6 | 6
Style : 5 Spoke | 6 Spoke
Offset : 15mm | 25mm
Width : 7 | 7.5
Diameter : 16” | 18"
Dimension: 16”x7” | 18"x7.5"

Here are some photos:


We took it out to compare the indicated speed against a GPS and the difference is roughly +1 MPH from 30 MPH to 70 MPH.

The only problem is that the Lexus center caps don't fit over the original Tundra lug nuts. I was hoping that @shoe07 would share what he did to get the center caps to fit and how he got the Toyota logo on them.

Specs on the wheels and tires.

 

I know people ask occasionally, so here you go. 295/70/18 tires should fit without any lift using stock offset wheels. I did remove the front mudflaps, but I did that way prior to even thinking about trying to put these wheels on. Otherwise, fit great, no rubbing. This is a TRD Sport 4x4, 100% stock suspension.
*I do have aftermarket skid plates.

 

Time to get it dirty

 

I can do some milderish stuff for now at least.

Suspension will be coming, probably when it cools off. And, got to get my sliders and gas tank skid on, too. Again, probably won't happen until fall. Too damn hot!

 

I used a soldering iron on its lowest setting with a tip I never use for actual soldering and melted the tabs on the lexus emblems and pulled them off. I filled the holes, sanded / primed / painted and got stick on toyota emblems from Amazon.

I don't think I prepped well enough as the paint is starting to crack. Plan to redo them this winter or next spring.

 

285/45/22's
Black Rhino Traverse wheels

 

I'm normally not a fan of 22's on a truck, but that has a super clean 'street' look to it

This was my 2010 that i still miss to this day, i just lifted to high for what i needed to use for, 7" lift with 35" Nitto's and CHROME Moto Metals. I miss Chrome But im also an old fart. i would put Chrome wheels on my 2020 if i could find some that looked decent (hard to find)

 

Great looking truck!

 

Got my Method MR705s on last week. 17x8.5 +35 with 37x12.5r17 BFG KO2s.

 

how much / what kind of lift?

looks great!

 

Thanks! I installed Icon 2.5 non-resi's up front. It was right at 2.5" of lift. In the rear I went installed Toyo Tec shackles on the highest setting, after fighting with leaf spring bushings for too long. Icon 2.5s in the rear with piggyback adjustable piggybacks hoping to be able to dial in the depending on the load/towing setup. I don't have my notes in front of me so I can't remember how much lift the shackles gave me in the rear but I'll check when I get home tomorrow.

If you are ever thinking of selling wheels, please let me know. Longshot - but if you do...please keep me in mind.

Beautiful setup! How much poke are you getting?

 

chrome needs to come back lol

 

Nice! What are you running as far as lift, wheel size and offset? I've considered going up on mine (currently 35x12.50s with room). I have a 6" front/4" rear Fabtech lift.

 

I’m running full long travel front and rear. Overall lift height maybe 3”. Wheels and tires are race relations RRH7 0 offset and 37x12.40r17 Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MT

 

Thank you!

 

I see those rims are only eight and a half inches wide. Are you getting all that poke with just the rims or are you using spacers? I recently bought my truck and it has 20x12 rims with a negative 44 offset which is a bit much and definitely not the best option for off-roading. I'm looking to go to a 17 or 18 in and much less offset but I still want some poke because of how tall the truck is. Also, how do you like the Mickey's? It seems most people love the new ones, but some people seem to dislike them based off of old quality control issues...

 

Just in case it’s useful to someone wondering, this is my stock 2012. I grabbed TRD wheels awhile back because I love how they look and snagged a great deal on some factory takeoff 285/65/18 Falken Wildpeak AT3 (if I remember right). They do not rub, thankfully, and look nice and meaty.

Running them at 40 psi and with the topper at 70 mph I averaged 19.8 MPG recently on an all-highway trip which surprised me. I do have the 4.6 though.

 

I’m getting the poke from the offset and the wider track from the long travel suspension. The mickeys are amazing I won’t run another tire. They’ve been through snow, Baja and daily usage with no issues or flats etc.
