Im sure going with 295-7-18 will suffice many, however im on the quest to have poke lol, i should of waited, i just fell in love with trail hunter bronze wheels, now my tire guy tells me ill see an inch and half exposed…..maybe im looking for more , beef look is me , and i guess if i eat over $ 1000.00 in wheels on my ooppps , oh well , i should of looked for zero offset wheels, my oversight….perhaps my son will want them, he recently bought a TRD Offroad, and daughter is buying one now…ugh…i guess i could just be happy with what i get , 285-70-18 and be done, give me some width, im happy what do you guys thing….shit there may be some guys saying im nuts ill be fine i dont know, at this point tires and wheels have to be the most time consuming worrisome point of owning my taco….you veterans please chime in …im all ears at this point, ill say , @tacorancher ND @MT-Taco Have been very helpful in this indecisive journey, thanks boys

0 offset will stick out pretty far... What is the offset of the trailhunter wheels? +35 I thought?

I think its +20 or +25... which is already more than what I'd want on my TRD OR.

OP, stick with the amazing TH wheels you already have.... your rear quarters will thank you.

I’ve got the pro wheels/tires so +20 and they poke aggressively, but tastefully.

Thank you guys, really appreciate guys, not sure if i sell them and buy zero offset….ugh………im a goofball i know, Im 59 and i like poke….whatever , i know all the results , i have no care about paint , or removing crashpads lol….not trying to be arogant i just know what i like and care about, truck is bought and paid for…. Anyway. Am i being to nit- picky and should just stick to original plan, shit i am so confused , should of bought a Nissan or chevy lol……..

Dang, I’d like to see trailhunter bronze wheels on my new Heritage blue Land Cruiser. it could be a thing,. Shoot, If I was near you, I’d trade you for the method 316’s I have with the +18 poke. They’re definitely pokey. I’m going to throw them on my new LC rather than sell them now.

@SilverSurfer , That looks good, myself just looking for wider look …. I like youre look though

 

[Airborne]

So now im looking at new 18 “ wheels zero offset set. Im so tired by this mathmatical stuff lol, just looking forward to my new tires and wheels….thanks for hanging with me on this guys, its stressful lol

I guess i just feel like a damn UNICORN….i like wide beefy tires that stick out, simple beefy is good…again im oldschool lads, some like poke some dont. I want my taco to look like a tonka truck, beefy and bitchy, may cosy me a grand to make happen but i will do it, Lol. Stick with me boys, on a side note im sitting on 4 boxes with wheels unopened …?

If you’re happy with the end results, I’d call that a win. Even if you feel like a unicorn, if you like the extra poke you like the extra poke—— good luck with getting it how you want.

Glad to hear its paid for OP..... thats the best mod IMO. Big congrats.

 

[SilverSurfer]

Hey David, Here is a video that helped me with the same question.

I watched the video and still chose a 0 offset wheel. Buy what you want and trade out if its not right. On these trucks the higher offset (more tuck) keeps the tire away from body molds and allows for 35"s and up much easier. My 34"s did require trimming even with the modest lift. This squatty little truck gives me far less worries about paint with than my Ram. Good flaps mud will get you covered. Cheers!
