You went from a 7.5 inch rim on +30 offset to a 9 inch rim -15 offset. Rim increased by 37mm while offset moved 45mm. Should have used rims with -5 or zero offset to keep geometry the same and avoid cutting. There should still be some clearance with the upper control arm. You could fit up to a 1 inch larger tires if you use a 8.5 inch rim on a positive offset.
BF Goodrich AT are great offroad, OK on dry road, and terrible on wet road. Since trucks are driven in RWD while on the road, it is very easy to lose control on wet road with BFG AT (the rear end "dances" like crazy when turning). Unless you will be using this truck solely for offroad, I would recommend installing a less extreme AT tires that have better compromise of on-road and offroad performances, something like Falken Wildpeak AT, General Grabber AT, Toyo Open Country AT or Pirelli Scorpion AT.
Congrats man, I bought Hilux in Feb 23, and I upgraded tyres, bfg 265 65 r 18 on stock alloy, thats the max one could go on stock alloy. Any thing other than than one needs chopping n lifting everything.
Thanks for sharing. I am thinking to upgrade to 265 65 R18 AT on my stock alloy 2022 Hilux. Can you please confirm if there is any rubbing on the mud or body guard when turnning max on the front wheels?
@@dino8ieltsi have 265-65-18 on stock as well and in 4wd and some slow speeds mud guards little touching, i can feel it, but after a while when tires get thinner after use it passed. But as friend say that’s the max tire size without any problems. If you have mud guard problem as like me, you heat and flattening with hammer.
Looks great. And thanks for the warning. I just recently purchased a hill 4x4 here in the Philippines. Ill be very careful about what wheel I put on it in the future
Your biggest friend would be lifting the car (minimises the cuts you spoke about) On any pickup you will NEED a lift kit before any wheel/tyre upgrade is fitted
From where you got the wheels painted in Pune? I am not a big fan of changing wheels, so really liked your insight. Waiting for delivery of my truck, hope to hear from the dealer soon since it is a long wait. I have opted for a manual one. 🙂
Very helpful video. 👌 I want to know exactly about the alloy paint, should it be painted in a specific way with a specific paint type? Where did you get yours painted? Please suggest something.
Good day In hilux you can use 17×8 et +8 to +13 its my calculation Last month i email the evo corse dakar wheel For 17×8 et+10 they told me this size we have to produce. They making great offset wheels for truck lover If you are interesting in dakar wheel order your wheel right now . 2nd wheel is 17×8 et+13 Australian brand speedy wheels / assualt series wheel also great fitment for hilux They have two colour machine face with black and satin black Must check both brands wheel
take a heat gun to the mud guard o and heat it until soft and that way you can form it so that tire won't touch the mud guard good shops know this all ready
Why would you consider neg offset. Seriously stock off set p30. Put on p5 to p10 perfect. 50mm track increae in width. You always want to makectrack wider for stability not narrower???. Fuel p7 offset is perfect in 17 inch dia
@@bigwheelsmotoring3642 Yeah am aware . Have used them on my earlier car for 80k kms. Just wanted to know if the wheels foul with stock alloys. Got the answer . Thanks :)
@@sandeeshpushella2938 still would be possible if you go with 265/70 and no lift kit. but recommended max is -10 offset. you could try using different size wheel spacers to try max offsets
They are pretty fine. Not much of road noise…even the ride quality is fine…you can always play with the tyre pressure if you find the ride quality hard…these tyres are preferred because of the stronger side wall…I think on a pick-up truck one should always have tyres with stronger side walls because you will use it at times with heavy cargo for eg. ferrying motorcycles, overlanding setups etc.
Hey hi your Tyre shop friend does he have Hilux alignment setting in his machine, Please do let me know as i have to do my Hilux allignment, Could you please share his shop details. Thankyou
@@bigwheelsmotoring3642 right now in mumbai but this weekend i will be heading to mahabaleshwar probably i will do it on sat om way to mahabaleshwar then
Thankyou.. did the alignment yesterday along with road balancing and rate was almost 40% less than showroom one and moreover assurance of things happend infront of me than behind wall. thanks for the suggestion.
I have a 2022 Hilux Invincible X. Suspension differs but geometry should be roughly the same. Currently running 285/60/18. Slight rubbing on the front left fender only when reversing and at full lock. It just touches the front of the guard slightly. Enough to make a noise but not enough to damage.
Lift Kits do not give any extra clearance for tires. They will still rub. Lift kits allow for larger tire sizes where you will still run into the issue of rubbing. Putting on bigger tires and lift kits you will have no choice to body cut and modify.
Toyota hilux is a pretty much utilitarian service man vehicle here in UAE. It is used by painters, carpenters to construction company for their staff. It is not anything remotely luxurious. Why it is such a luxury in India.
One man’s scrap is other man’s treasure…thats how the world is! The Hilux might be the utilitarian poor man’s workhorse in some countries…but that does not steal the fact that its a robust legendary pick-up truck with strong Toyota engineering and performance. In India the taxation is very high and differs from state to state…which makes some cars expensive.
Camry, fortuners, innovas, highlanders, Teslas , lexuses , land cruisers and many many more vehicles are being used as Taxis in UAE as well.. what does that suggest, they are any less of a car? Lambos, Ferraries Porsches you can rent in 1500 AEDs for one hour .In USA and other Europe pickups are the best sellers as private vehicles… bro dont compare UAE with other world.
