Level 8 has some other nice looking and affordable options, but the MK6’s are my favorite.
I believe the 0 offset will push the wheels 1/4” out from stock and -10 about even with the flares; at least it will for a 3rd gen with limited flares.
For the 3rd gen, you can fit 265/75/16 without rubbing, everything else larger will require a lift or body lift to prevent rubbing - stock size is 265/70. I would start looking on t4r dot org.
I want 285’s, but I don’t want to re-gear because the v6 is already slow, not to mention getting worse mpg’s as they already suck. Lol
If you have the v8, re-gearing may not be an issue, but you’ll lose 1-2 mpg with the bigger tire.
I’ve got 265/70/16’s now with no lift, but come March, I’ll have 265/75/16’s with a 2-3” lift! I’ve got the shocks and rear springs sitting in the basement ready to go on when I get new tires in March. Doing them at the same time so I don’t need to get 2 alignments. I also have a tundra big brake kit ready to go as well. Hopefully I’ll get that done this month as I found out it pulls to the left when stomping on it when I swerved to miss a dog wandering across an intersection the other night, not to mention there’s some air in the lines. Lol
Last night I ran out of gas. Lol
I disconnected the battery to install my reverse lights which reset my trip odometer last week, which I use to fill up due to the fuel gauge not working, and couldn’t recall the mileage. Last night on the way to dinner, I got off the wrong exit and did a u-turn and felt it stutter. I was able to make it through a shopping center, wait at the light, and make it across the intersection to the gas station where it shut off as I rolled up next to the pump! I looked at my wife and said God was watching over us and that’s why I took the wrong exit, otherwise we would’ve been stranded.
Nothing new on the fish front.
Might go to the LFS today to see if they have anything I want. I gave an employee my number a week ago if he sees one of the green eels pop out, but no calls...
