To Wheel or Not to Wheel (replacement)

[cruiser100]

Wanted to get thoughts about replacing wheels on the 200. I have a Toughdog suspension running the stock size tires on stock wheels; it's time to replace the tires. I'm moving to 33's and am on the fence about replacing the wheels as well. Looking at the Icon Rebound:

Thoughts?

I can tell you that at the 25mm offset they will look great, but you may have to heat/trim/remove/adjust just a little of the inner liners, etc to keep from rubbing in reverse at full lock. One bonus is that the 25mm offset will keep you off of the sway bar endlinks. 33's on factory 60mm rims will rub at full lock on the kdss links.

What color is your truck? Those and the Evo Corse Dakar wheels are some of the only aftermarket ones I think look good on the 200.

Do they offer a version without the faux beadlocks?

It's dark gray with black trim, front TJM bumper and sliders. I think they'll look good.

Unfortunately, no. I plan to paint the bolt heads black to not make them stand out so much.

I have been looking at the Rebound as well. I got some advice saying the DakarZero might be better based on Scrub ratio ( and Here ). I like the Dakar, but I really like the Rebound. I want to do what will drive best and be best for the longevity of parts. No need to speed up wear on bearings and bushings, right.

What tire are you thinking about? Are you trying to stay close to stock diameter as to not affect speedo as much? This is my goal it is my daily driver.

Wheels are on! IMHO, they look great. I went with BFG AT KO2 285/70/17 tires.

Went with the ICONs and 285/70/17 BFG AT KO2 (see pics). Not worried about the speedo and from what I've been reading, the +25 shouldn't have a neg effect on the wheel bearings.

Those look great. Every time I see them I want them more. Love the T13 too, there's not many of them but I love mine too.

Holy moly those look great. That sealed the deal... I've been on the fence about wheels but I'm going with the Rebound but in the bronze tint. Thanks for the photos!

You happy with the Toughdog suspension? It give you 2" of lift? I really like that stance

 

[Rigger]

Your truck looks great! Nice going!

Very happy. 2” in front and a bit over 1” in rear. Also have the adjustable shocks. Took me a couple tries to get them dialed in for daily driving. It’s nice to be able to soften the ride up for off road.

Is is as easy to turn the wheels or did it make it a bit harder to turn when truck isn't moving like in a parallel parking situation?

Haven’t noticed a difference.

Ok well I guess you convinced me because I just ordered the Toughdog set from Trail Tailor.... Now just to wait 2 weeks for them to get here from AU.
Thanks man!

You'll be happy with them. The only regret I have is that I didn't put aftermarket UCA's in when I did the install. Live and learn...

No kidding I ordered the suspension and decided against the UCAs... But then 15min later I changed my mind and ordered the SPC UCAs so glad u said that.
