Here’s my truck on the 255s and back on the refurbished factory alloys. Definitely looks more stock-like than before. Tires seem to fill out the wheel wells nicely from the side. I have a 1” body lift, but the springs (2.5” OME) are old and likely sagging a bit. From the side, the skinny tires...
Surprised to see that he mentioned that the 80 series may have been the pinnacle of Toyota 4x4 engineering. Makes me feel very fortunate to own one.
