Heres my share

Rock Warriors and load range C BFGs AT KO2s 285/70/17 , are about 76 LBS per corner

TRD 17x8 Rock Warrior Alloy +50mm offset 24lbs

Good catch. I’ve been looking at the heavier 285 70 r17 for weights. I assumed it was necessary for the 200.

is it the case that the lighter load range c tire is appropriate for the 200?

A c range tire will easily handle the loads a 200 is designed for. The only reason people go to d and e is to get the theoretical heavier construction and greater protection against things like sidewall tears off road… or if a given size just isn’t available in anything lighter. Like 285/65/18 used to be.

Tires vary, so a c rim tire might well weight less than the same rim with an e tire on it. My tires plus 18” cast rims are around 100 lb per corner.

I have the 0 offset te37s. They are heavier than stock and mpg went down a bit, I also had to trim fender liners on oem suspension. Other than that I love them.

Zero offset doesn't "tuck" but if it did this is proly what it would look like
