Yeah you got clearance when you're not moving and not articulating the suspension but you put one of those front tires on a rock where it smushes the tire all up into the wheel well it's going to rub bad
You guys do realize the suspension moves up and down right? Whatever clearance you have sitting in the driveway means absolutely nothing when driving. Especially off road.
Tried these exact wheels. They DO NOT fit flush against the Tacoma hubs. Trust me when you remove them to rotate them be ready to kick tf out of them and maybe even use a soft blow hammer. Found this out the hard way. Luckily the dealership after discount tire proved they don’t fit and were potentially unsafe, they let me return them for the older style TRD Pro 4Runner wheels(red TRD center cap instead of the red ring) No fitment issues with those whatsoever. Just wanted to give you a heads up
It baffles me that he just dropped around 2K for tires and wheels only to start chopping away at his new truck. I've got a 2020 that I plan on having around for a very long time. I will do everything the best way to make sure my truck lasts and doesn't look like a piece of crap.
@@BoBo-tx9sp that was your first mistake, making payments on a vehicle you choose to off-road with (if you cannot pay cash then you cannot afford it) Once you take a truck off-road you will scratch dent and wear out the weak Stock parts. Best to pay cash for a used truck, now that you have no payment, or loss of value once you drive off the lot, loss in dealer fees, loss in taxes, now you can start to replace the sub standard factory parts, you can now afford to cash flow real off road upgrades and not worry about driving like a sissy when off-roading.
@@EnlightenedRogue24 ask him, absolutely guarantee he is making payments, that’s why he bought brand new, otherwise it would be a bad financial decision to pay taxes, dealers fees, mark ups, then the loss of value once you drive off the dealers lot, especially for a 4x4 that will get beat on and scratched up, in addition you cannot affectively upgrade since, your now worried about factory warranties. Pay cash, buy used (slightly) maybe 50k miles is perfect being Toyota will go to 1 million miles, now that you saved $10k on paying cash, you can now afford to pay cash for the $7k in upgrades needed to do some serious off-roading. Remember if you cannot pay cash, then technically you cannot afford it, if you could afford it, you would pay cash😁
@@titirititiri6360 Considering the current market, it's actually not necessarily a bad deal to buy new (especially a Toyota). Those with trade-ins and paying MSRP for a new Toyota are coming out even or ahead of where they would be any other year. I just bought a new Tacoma at MSRP and I got a few hundred less than I paid NEW for my 2016 CRV with 40k miles in trade-in value. This equity allowed me to drastically lower my borrowed amount vs what I would have borrowed for the truck if my CRV was worth what it was worth before last year. If you buy used right now, you're going to be paying 3-5K more than you normally would, especially for a used 4x4 truck. There's nothing wrong with borrowing money right now also, given recent increases in inflation. Just because you don't pay all the cash up front, doesn't mean you made a bad financial decision.
So I heard this wheel is not hubcentric to the 2021 Tacoma they made the rear hubs larger so it's not a perfect fit which will cause issues. Has anyone heard about this?
I am gonna be a Tacoma owner in a few weeks, and I think most people aren't being "toxic" they're simply warning him about what may happen with how tight that fit is.
@@JDM-gx8ki but if you buy 33” tires and don’t lift you are gonna have serious clearance issues while driving, going to be especially bad when off road.
285 is way to big for stock suspension. Put a lift ASAP. Mine is stock and I went 31.6 265 70 17. No issues at all. And looks great, with no mud flaps.
@@karldolphin7547 I’ve studied this back and through. Are you planning a lift or stock? What 21 do you have? 2x4 or 4x4 ? Daily driver or toy? Let’s start with those questions first... Then I can help you. 👍
CamaroGolf 4x4 ‘21. I was thinking of keeping stock as I’m six foot and can get in the truck wo a side step. If I raise 2 in, I’d need a step but I do want some rock rails like Caliraised has. Mostly road driving with some off road. Nothing crazy like Rubicon but avg difficult off road. I do like those TRD rims.
So pretty much it doesn’t fit without any modifications? You call it minor modifications but some people just don’t want to chop up their expensive Tacoma.
Just lifted my 2022 3.5 Inches has 31inch duratracs right now but once those are worn I'll be upgrading to 33s. I know mine will clear for sure with the lift lol.
Hey Sean, don't listen to these naysayers these tires actually work well for Tacoma TRD Pros I Run 285/75/16R Falken Wild Peaks. I personally own the Tacoma TRD PRO from 2019 and I've taken it Offroading through Mengel Pass in Death Valley, Coyote Flats in CA, and White Mountain by Big Bear. The only time I've rubbed is when I didn't air down my tires and was running 20MPH on bumpy dirt roads turning hard left or right getting to a trail. Once aired down I never rubbed going at those speeds. I've also never have Rubbed driving through the city and trust me I go fast on bumps going into shopping malls. You are correct in the fact that the TRD Pro wheels offset allows this setup as the tires would rub on the UCA if you ran any other Offroad RICER Rims you see on these trucks. Enjoy it brother! EDIT: Just realized you don't have a TRD Pro. Wish you the best and hope the different suspension setups allow for a similar experience to mine on your off-road WHICH I'm still certain you should be fine with.
Should’ve did the 275/70R17...the wheel offset of the TRD 4Runner wheels would kick out just right so justify the next tire size. As for going bigger on a stock ride height, it’s just gonna give unnecessary consequences once the suspension starts moving.
I am looking into the same route and i understand that somethings should be done first but as the video stated that a slight rub would constitute a cab mount chop. I think if you had the 3 inch lift, there may not have been a rub? Were you able to sell your stock rims and tire ? or just the rims? I went ahead and had the TRD rims on mine and like the looks.
Is it true that there is a taper on the wheel at the hub where it mates with the truck? I was reading that you have to file down the flanges? Is this true?
Yes, its true. There's a whole thread on Tacoma World talking about this specific problem. I sold mine and bought the "SEMA Wheels" which are the 4Runner TRD Pro wheels 2020 and earlier.
3 inch lift on 285/70/17 17x9 -12 offset minor rubbing when fully flexed and turned. No CMC/BMC. Trying out 305/65/17 17x8.5 -12 offset this time. Key note offset. Gets the tire far enough out from the cab and sway bar.
The ONLY way that you can get 33's on a Taco without any mods is 255.85r16. Tires are too wide, you need pizza cutters for this to work on and off road.
I really like the thread pattern on the KO2's I used to have them, but they look skinny with this wheels offset, now I went with the Toyos open country AT 3 with Black Rhino wheels and they look wider=way better lol I also lifted mine 3 inches which is what you should have done first, but nice look with that tire/wheel combination, it's becoming popular
I like that the KO2s are lighter than other tires in the same size and they got really good reviews. We're they're done I'll try something different. I will be installing a 2 inch lift in the coming weeks.
@@SeanS54 actually they're heavier, at least the 10 ply I had, compared tu others the same size or even bigger, waiting to see how your lift looks like ✌🏼
Thosr rim are a .10 a dzn as well. You say not bad on the rubbing. I guess you plan on no bumps or pot holes. I have seen off roaders have their wheel burird deep with in the wheel well going the pit holes. Lift first then tires.
Hey Sean! Was wondering what lift kit you were thinking on going with? Was also looking into 33’s and saw that trimming is a must if you stay on stock suspension. I was considering on just going with the bilstien 5100 leveling kit for the front but wasn’t sure if it would be enough to clear.. dont want to trim any fender liners.. if anyone else has an input I’d appreciate the responses. 🤙🏼
If you wan to run 33’s with out rubbing you will need- true 3” lift after settling which bilstein will not do, cab mount chop and weld, pinch weld hammered, fender trim, wheel well cut, then once your go 3” lift you need upper control arms, differential drop, needle bearing. The guy in vid is not rubbing on flat ground lol but turn wheels and hit a bump AKA wheel at full lock and suspension fully stuffed and you will not only rub but destroy your tires, fenders and bumpers, about $2,500 and you can run 33”s plus the $2,000 to buy 33”s
@Ramiro Rivers also depends of wheel offset, the farther your wheel and tires stick out, the more you will be prone to rub, factor wheels 31” tires on 2” lift, you will be okay
Looks great.... Aside from all the rubbing comments, would you consider gearing down after getting tires that big? The taco is slow to go already. I've been beat by a mom in a sienna before lol.
I would be much worried with new rims when you have new tires mounted on them or down the road getting them scratched up most places that change mount tires on rims wind up scratching the rims up not good..
Can you still use tpms from old wheels to new 4Runner Trd pro wheels? Did you have to buy new tpms? Did you buy oem tpms? Where did you buy them? I’m going have same set up.
Nothing wrong with those TRD 'Bro' Rims, but that blacked out look is more dime a dozen than the chrome nowadays...just saying. But am I the only weirdo that likes the look of the stock rims too?...I guess because my Silver 2020 TRD Off-Road has so many chrome accents on it, the rims just kind of tie it all together and it kind of just works with this color...honestly I could live with either one blacked out or chrome...
I was out the moment the zip ties came out.. just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. But whatever, I guess that just the different of attention to details people have.
SeanS54 hey I put the same wheels on my Tacoma but with nittos ridge grapplers 265/70r17 My Gad mileage went from 15mpg to 11mpg is it supposed to be like that?
I have LT285,/70R17 on my TRD Sport with the same TRD wheels and even with a 2inch lift they are still rubbing On a full turn, anyone have any recommendations?
I had that problem, this wheels dont fit the rear hub, I ended up selling them cause I didnt want to risk paying a Machine Shop and later on not being able to get them to balance.
Do not you realize that when you hit a bump you will rub hard on cab mount and fender? You need a true 3” lift and cab mount chop , its the most well known common mod on Tacoma
So the guy went to Joshua Tree and went off-roading, it seems like the tires worked perfectly, did you check that video? I'm wondering if maybe this setup actually works and your concerns might not be something to be concerned about after watching his off-roading video. Any thoughts? I'm considering doing this to save a couple of thousands of dollars on the lift work but I saw that you were commenting everywhere about the potential problems with this setup.
And TRD Pro rims are not a dime a dozen? Seems like everyone and their momma has pro rims and grills on their SR5, Sport, or Off Road trucks. It is more unusual to see a stock grill or wheels, it seems like! Anyway, who cares what anyone else thinks? Enjoy your truck.
