So I took the plunge and got new wheels and tires. I couldn't stomach the time I'd been waiting (or expense of a nice set) for rock warriors so I tried to find the most "OEM-ish" wheels I could. I'm liking the look over stock. The extra rubber of the bigger tires and smaller rims sure makes a big visual difference. At first I was like "woah, is that too much rubber", but it quickly grew on me. I still may go down a size since I know it's the one toyota spec'd for, but did i mention I like the rubber, haha. We'll see. As for the wheels, I sure like the extra offset with the 2" lift.
Here's the details:
Here's the details:
- 285/75/17 Yokohama Geolandar AT4. Index:121S, LoadRange: E1
- @gaijin Can you help me out with the RCTIP in this application?
- So far feels a little more "sure footed" than the Terra Grappler G2's that were on it. I was a little worried about it not feeling as planted going from 18 to 17 with a higher aspect, but these feel great so far. No noticeable noise difference.
- Method MR316 - 17x8 - +25 Offset
- I was on the lookout for brake caliper clearance reading other posts about 17's, so asked them to test fit and let me see it before mounting. There was more room than i was expecting. About a finger width. No issues with fitting with balance weights
- New TPMS sensors - Denso 5500103 from RockAuto (as suggested by other forum posts on the subject). Discount tire had no problem installing.
