Hi,
My 2011 comes stock with 16 X 7" wheels, after the factory tires wore off I purchased some 265/70R16 Toyo A/T Open Country's which lasted me 65,000KM!
Recently the truck got a 3 in body lift, 2 in rear axle spacer and a good torsion bar crank in the front end so I have some room for new rubber.
Here is where my life gets confusing, because of the stock wheel size I am somewhat limited when it comes to tire size. Here is question # 1 :
Do most folks upgrade to a 16 X 8" rim to open up the larger tire sizes? (I see ProComp has a set of 16X8 for 500+tax.)
The factory rims are spent anyways, I tried to wire wheel the finish off at one point which made them really fugly so new wheels would be ok with me...
The other challenge comes when they talk about offset in mm and such.
My end game is fitting 33X12.5 (or 10.5) R16 on the beast, what did you do to make this happen?
Thanks in advance.
