Official Tundra Wheel and Tire Setups - Pics and Info

Just popped this in the "what'd you do to your 2.5-gen today" thread, figure I'll add it here as well.

Just got some 295/70R18 Toyo Open Country AT3s, truck is stock regarding suspension/wheels. I took the front air dams and all 4 mudflaps off. No rub in city/highway driving but I'm sure I will need to make some adjustments once I can get it off road and stuff the tires into the wheel wells a bit more.

 

love that color. Looks great!

 

My Review/Lift/Wheel/Tire Spec input for your 2024 Tundra TRD PRO

I’ve been researching them for months! Definitely on my bucket list for sure. Despite the price point. This thing is pure gold so far!

I had considered the 2024 Tundra Platinum TRD Off Road I Force Max or Gas instead, but I’m very happy I went this route, despite my budget concerns. The additional features for me have been well worth it this far not to mention the additional rarity factor for each years production at less than 2000 units nationwide. I also like that these are American made/built right here in the heart of Texas.

I highly recommend it after trying out my 2019 Manual Tacoma TRD Sport Premium/Limited, 2021 GMC 3.0 1500 Diesel, GMC 2500 AT4 6.6L Duramax Diesel, 2018 F-150 LariatEcoboost, & now 2024 Tundra TRD Pro V6 Twin Turbo I Force Max Hybrid rocking 437HP 580TQ stock.

I’m averaging about 14 to 15 MPG so far all the way around with both city and Hwy commutes to Phoenix from QC with nearly 450 miles to the tank prior to full break in.

This is by far my favorite so far. It’s an absolute tank, but it’s smooth as butter, the ride quality is superb, and the performance so far with a smooth break in only 300 miles in has insanely smooth power.

I haven’t opened it up of course, but I can tell it’s all there. I was comparing several trucks and didn’t want a diesel because I didn’t want to deal with DEF fluid and having to consider tuning/DEF delete options. I also didn’t find any savings with a diesel as far as MPG goes.

Performance wise, this has just as much go as any truck if owned other than the taco of course and then some. I highly recommend it so far. I’ll be happy to share more insights with further break ins.

I had concerns about reliability on the 2022 & 2023 model transmission/engine issue replacements, but have spoken to several dealers before purchasing as well as reputable Wescott designs locally and they assured me out of the 100k recalls they have yet to see one issue after lifting/modding literally hundreds of them both locally and nationally.

I’m praying for the best and have ensured warranties are in place for any one offs I may run into. Due to the chip shortage I am pending my second key in a couple of months, but other than that this thing is fully loaded with every option I can imagine and is a work horse as well if I want it to be.

My goal was 91 octane which 87 can be leveraged and tow capability at nearly 12k lbs with a near 2k payload with every bell and whistle I can hope for. So far she’s delivered on all accounts.

This will hopefully be a long term overland build my family and I can enjoy and make memories with for years to come!

Of course I recommend anyone live with in their means and I’m preaching to the choir because this is a stretch to say the least, but for me it truly feels premium on all accounts in comparison to anything I’ve personally tried so far.

YOLO enjoy each moment time is short! Blessings!

Lift/Wheel/Tire Discussion Post:

When installing the Wescott Designs collar lift, 35-inch Toyo tires, and potentially using wheel spacers on your 2024 Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, recalibration of the ECU may be necessary or beneficial. Here’s why:

### **Reasons for ECU Recalibration:**

1. **Speedometer and Odometer Calibration:**
- **Larger Tires:** Switching to 35-inch tires will alter the vehicle's speedometer and odometer readings, as these systems are calibrated for the stock tire size. Larger tires will cause the speedometer to under-report speed and the odometer to under-report distance traveled.
- **Recalibration:** Recalibrating the ECU can correct these inaccuracies, ensuring that your speedometer and odometer provide accurate readings.

2. **Transmission and Drivetrain Adjustments:**
- **Transmission Shifts:** Although the 10-speed transmission is adaptive, recalibration may help ensure it shifts optimally with the larger tires, especially if the change in gear ratios impacts the performance.
- **Tire Size and Performance:** The ECU might need adjustments to optimize engine performance and efficiency with the larger tires and altered wheel offset.

3. **Handling and Stability Control:**
- **Traction Control and Stability Systems:** These systems rely on accurate wheel speed data. Recalibration can ensure that they function correctly with the new tire size and any changes in wheel offset.

### **Impact of Wheel Spacers:**
- **Wheel Spacers and Offset:** Using spacers to change the wheel offset can affect handling and stability. While spacers do not typically require ECU recalibration, they can affect the alignment and suspension geometry, which could indirectly influence the need for recalibration.

### **Additional Considerations:**
- **Re-gearing:** If you re-gear the differentials to match the larger tires, recalibration of the ECU may be necessary to align the powertrain performance with the new gearing.
- **Professional Assessment:** Consult with a professional who can assess the need for ECU recalibration based on the specific modifications and their impact on vehicle performance.

### **Summary:**
Recalibration of the ECU is generally advisable when making significant changes like installing larger tires and modifying wheel offsets. It helps ensure accurate speedometer readings, optimal transmission performance, and proper operation of traction and stability systems. Consulting with a professional to assess your specific setup and make any necessary adjustments will help maintain your Tundra’s performance and reliability.

 

Have you got a picture straight down the side? Curious to see how the tires are to flush with fender clearance

 

The Truck is 100% OEM stock right now. I’ll be modding wheel/tire/suspension set up first with the information in mind posted in my thread response. I’ll post pics once it’s completed and a link to my you tube channel for a complete install review.

 

275/70R18 Maxxis Razr AT on stock TRD OR wheels. Eibach Pro Truck Sport Shocks set at 1.9" with stock coils and Eibach 1" block in the rear. I've got about 1.5" of rake.

 

I'll get you one soon. They're a bit too flush for my taste, the tires are actually inside the top of the fender flares by 0.25-0.5". I have 1.25" Spidertrax sitting in the garage to rectify that issue whenever I can get some free time

 

That's what I'd like to see. Even a before and after pic. I'm personally a fan of inside wheelwells. But I live in a pretty dirty world
and it's expensive to paint rock chips.

 

That is why I've stayed with the stock wheels. Between all the gravel roads I drive and then the cinders DOT puts down in the winter, rocks are flying.

 

285/70/17r on SCS F5 -10mm Offset/4.3 Backspacing. On Bilstein 6112’s on circlips 6/4 which gives about a 2-2 1/4 inch lift. No spacers.

Very slight rub on the right side pinch weld when you turn into a bump, trimmed out the plastic. Rub on left slide frame at full lock going over bumps. No rubbing while driving flat in drive or reverse. Nothing a sledge hammer can’t fix

 

"Nothing a sledge hammer can’t fix"
I like the way you think !

 

Any rubbing on can mount?

 

I have a 2012 Toyota Tundra SR5 trim. No lift. Aftermarket wheels. Would a 275/70/18 fit without rubbing? I've read thru this thread but I'm still second guessing myself. Thank you. Don't mean to be a bonehead.

 

I was supposed to get you these LONG ago, work and life got busy and I haven't been on the forum in a few weeks.

Can't decide at this point if spacers are the move or not. 295/70 looks good from the side, but from front and back they still look too narrow for the truck. I'll probably try on the spacers on one side and see what I think.

 

That's ok. 2 weeks in quarantine with Covid and 3 weeks of work. I go home tomorrow!!
They look small for a tall tire, but that look is exactly what I want so I appreciate the photos very much.
Now I can go ahead and get that size and know its good.

 

So as far as my setup goes, I've got the Fox 2.5 DSC suspension, Total Chaos UCAs, and 17" Method wheels with 0 offset. My tires are currently 33/70R17. My question is whether I should step up to 35" tires, or stick with 33s?

Im looking at the 35" Toyo R/T trails, which actually measure 34.41". I might have to get a minor cab mount chop, but maybe not.

Any input is appreciated!

 

I've noticed most 35" tires are not close to 35" as advertised. Most 285/75R18 are 34.8" but only have 11.4" tread width so
you don't get the 'fat' tire look. I think I used 1010tires.com and put 4 brands together for comparison.
I really like the Toyo RT Trails but the new Falken AT4W are really worth a look, and just might be what I settle on.
I've got a couple of months yet before I have to decide.

 

Yeah those AT4s are nice. They are on my radar as well. My buddy has them on his Tacoma and he really likes them!

 

Mounted some 315/70R17 Toyo Open Country AT III’s on a set of fifteen52 Turbomac classic HD wheels 0 Offset. Truck has a 2 inch leveling kit and some front bumper spacers. Rubbing a bit on the cab mount but I have a CMC scheduled for next week. Overall happy with the look over 33s! I feel like they fill out the wheel wells better.

 

Currently running a stock wheel and 35x11.50 setup. Love the toyos but the look is getting old.

so, I am looking into getting something a little more aggressive. Currently have a 3/1 level. Ideally want them to be more flush or poke a little bit out of my wheel wells. Don’t want a BMC, but want to stay at 35 inches. Any recommendations? I’ve gone through a bunch of these posts and it’s unclear what will work with no BMC.

Looking at RRW, SSW, Volks and KMC wheels.

pics of the current setup. (I barely rub on my sway and bent some of the skid, happy to answer any questions about the setup)

 

That looks good. Those are factory 20" wheels? Exactly what size are those tires? You said 35" x 11.5". I'm getting
to old man stage now so that looks good like a truck that lasts and looks good forever look. Smaller wheel will definitely
improve attitude with the tire and factory is 60 offset IIRC, go to 25 or 10 offset and it will fill the wheel well nicer. In the post right above he has zero offset so you are between what you have and what zero looks like

 

I am running the factory 20's, believe its a +60 offset. Tires are 35x11.50r20 Toyo AT3's. Ive had most all terrains and these are by far my favorite. Quiet and I get 16+ mpg on the interstate. Cant fit a 0 offset, thinking about trying to run a +25. Really don't want to cute the cab mount, but I'd be okay with bumper shims.

 

You'd find those aren't actually 35" tall. You could run 18" wheel with +25 offset and look at 285/75R18 for looks.
That would set your truck up and probably be a bit of a taller tire in the end. No worries about clearance at all.

 

Looooooooong time creeper, first time poster, fig’d I’d share as every combination is a little different…I had 2.5 gen trd wheels w Toyo MT’s same size that rubbed with a 2” leveling kit to take MOST rake out (the block on top of spring only measures 1” but raised the front 2”) 5yrs later after tires wore and wheels began to peel, upgraded to these 18” Method MR318’s 18x8.5 +40 (factory was +60) Bronze with Toyo R/T trails 275/70/18 no rub new! At first glance I thought to myself “oh no, what have I done to my girl!?” But the wheels have grown on me…notice people looking at the wheels often, possibly out of disgust, LOL, i appreciate all the great info I’ve gleaned off this site for many years, thank you guys!

 

Nice truck, perfect side profile. I've got +60's but might just try a 1/2" spacer to see if they can come
flush. Those are the tires and size I'm 95% settled on. Now if your truck was Spruce Mica, it would be perfect!
Just bugging you, painted my previous Tundra Spruce Mica, it was a tough decision between the two colours.

 

I actually prefer spruce mica as well, you made the right call! Not buggin’ me at all! Took me years to accept timberline but not gonna pay to scratch up some cooler color after so many years thank you!

 

Will a 275/70/R16 fit on the spare wheel that came with a 2006 Tundra Double Cab 4x4? If so, will that fit back underneath in the spare tire well?

 

BFG KO3 295/65/20 on Stock 2023 Tundra Limited TRD wheels and suspension. No lift or leveling. Removed front mud flaps. Ever so slight rubbing on felt at full lock.

 

Well shit, I found myself in the Dirty Sevens thread and then this happened

 

did you rub anywhere?
