Lowered on KMC & Nittos - Toyota Tundra Forums : Tundra Solutions Forum

KMC 652 Lo-Fi 22 x 9.5 +35 with Nitto 420S 305/45-22.
Pretty happy with how it turned out except for the < .5" of wheel sticking out of rear passenger well. Rear driver side sticks out < .25". Front wheels are flush. I checked if bed is centered correctly and it appears to be. Base of rotor to wheel spoke is equal at 3.5" so it shouldn't be an offset issue. Any ideas? I guess it would be a good time to get fender flares to hide the difference if nothing can be determined.

Looks very good!

And you even saved $$$ by not needing steps

Thanks. I actually removed the steps and mud flaps.

Oddly your 22's look small

looks real sharp, if its only one wheel sticking out i would double check the offset, never know, they may have sent you one with alittle less positive offset, but the truck still looks real clean man, good job!

The truck does look good, but it *is* quite amazing how small a big truck like the Tundra makes 22" rims look. I swear the 18's on mine look like 16's

Looks good. Any ride difference?

So when you guys do this, are you able to set a load in the back like you could before? How does this affect the trailer tung weight after this mod?

Is it really a "truck" now?

Not trying to be a hard ***, just curious

. Looks nice

Not a fan of lowering at all, but yours looks classy. Nice setup.

Love it! I always lift my trucks, but I really like the way yours looks lowered. Since you have a nice amount of sidewall, it just minimizes the wheel gap without making the truck look slammed. Just looks like it wants to hug the road!

Anyone who makes a negative comment and is sitting stock shouldn't talk...whether you believe in lowering trucks or not, this setup looks MUCH better than the rake we have without the benefit of a meaty tire.

Looks great.

Good to see that you decided on these wheels too. Looks very good. Mine stick out a bit more and i am waiting for the fender flares. Will post a picture when i have them.

Thanks Third.... As for the negative comments, it's all good. Everyone's entitled to their opinion.

Now for the one wheel sticking out. Any thoughts on the possibility that it could be the lowering kit improperly installed? I just don't know about suspensions to pinpoint the problem.

Thanks again, guys
