Which size wheel? The offset needs to be +20mm, I believe. So the 15x8 or the 18x9's should work. Not sure... but yo uneed to stay near the factory offset.

While i'm not sure on offset, but I think you need at least 4 5/8 backspacing or 4.625 to clear the calipers. I've herd 4.5 wont cut it and you'll need spacers.

I have the exact wheel on my Tundra, this is the spec that fit:
16 x 8, 6 on 5.5 bolt pattern, +2mm offset, 4 1/2 backspace"

Yo 2DaMax!

Do you have the chrome or the polished? And, what is the difference? Finally, do you have a lift or spacers or...?

Thanks.

Ciao.

Although on the pic it looks chrome, it is actually polished. The truck was detailed the day I took the picture. The difference between chrome and polish is the looks and the price. It takes more work to maintain the chrome finish. It just depends on how much time you have to keep your wheels spotless and shiny.

I have Fabtech coilovers adjusted for 2.75" of lift.

So...do you need to have a lift to use those wheels, or can you use them with the "stock" suspension?

They look really nice!

Ciao.

jkreese,

I have my wheels mounted on the stock suspension with the OEM 265/70R16 BFG tires and have no problems.

By the way...those Eagle #146's (16X8) usually list for $176 (polished) and $227 (chrome) each. The Eagle website has a special for all 16" chrome wheels at $173 each. Shipping for a set of 4 is $55.

I got my polished 146's from discount tire for $110/ea. I got a special deal though. They screwed up my first set of wheels that I ordered so they said that he would sell me the 146's for their cost!

Note: I am on my second set of 146's, they couldn't get the first set to balance properly, but this second set is as smooth as glass and I couldn't be happier.

The only time you'd need a lift of some kind is if you are going for bigger tires. You can use this wheel with the stock tires and the only difference is that the tire's sidewall will be sticking out more.

jkreese,

I put the pic of my truck in the my photos section. Just look under tundra pics and look for "hockeyfreak's truck"
