Okay so I’m wondering why everyone is going back to 17” wheels? Does it give you more room for bigger tires or what? I just picked up my 25 trd sport and was thinking of doing 18x9 +20 with a 1.5 level. I see everyone going 0 offset on 17’s running 285. Just curious

added a photo of my ride just because I wanted to

The smaller wheel allows larger tires to help with 4 wheeling. Softer ride on rough roads and better grip.

Okay I see now. That does make sense now that you mention it.

Totally happy with my 18’s. I think everyone thinks they will be overlanding rock crawling warriors, but in reality they are 99.5% freeway commuters like me and I think 18’s are just fine for that. .
