Not my car but 285/75/18 on stock ‘25 OTView attachment 13526

Love this look - modified stock.

My current '24 OT sits on 17" Method 703s (35mm offset) and 34s... No rub.

Trading it in for a '25 (in earth, like the one pictured) and would like to throw Falken AT4w 35x11.5x18 (C-load) on. Actual dims are 34.9" x 11.5" wide. Anyone running this size on stock '25 suspension? I'll probably throw the Peak 1.25" spacer on the front to level it out, but am curious if the zero offset of the stock rims will give me rubbing issues.

Anything more that. 35 offset you will have issues . I would stay away from falkens . They are very heavy and will not perform well

is it safe to assume everyone is running ET lugnuts on the aftermarket wheels?

Volk wheels do not take ET lugs so just using standard Rays lugs.

how about on your methods?

how about on your methods?

They were sold when the Volks arrived stateside. It was a mistake buying the Methods in the first place as I should have gotten the Icon wheels, which where were hub centric at 95.1 mm bore. I got the wrong tires as well.

Basically, I didn't do enough research on wheels, tires, and their respective fitment. You live and learn I suppose.

I've ran Toyo AT3s on my last few vehicles and they're definitely my go-to, but I did run a set of Falken AT3s on my 4runner and was very impressed with them - would certainly buy again. Also, the set of Falkens I'm looking at are actually lighter than the comperable Toyos...

Did you personally have a bad experience with the AT4s?

No pics yet, but finalized my order with the help of @IntrinoX earlier this week! Going with Bradley Forged Takumi 18x8.5 +40 in Matte Shadow black, wrapped with Toyo OC ATIII EV 275/70/18 in SL load. I wouldve gone up to 285 but I'm not much of an offroader and wanted to keep the tire spec away from the LT tires for ride comfort. Ideally this fitment will sit flush with my P+ fenders. Pics to come!

I have a 2024 OT on 2025 springs. So same as your new one factory. I tried AT4W 35x11.5-18 in C load on factory OT wheels and they rubbed on my truck. If I wanted to work harder I could have likely managed it to work out. Someday when I’m not on the road for work….

So ended up going to AT4W 285/70-18 LT in C load (34 inches) and have zero rub in any conditions.

Be advised they are an extremely heavy tire. I’m happy with my tires today, as an early adopter and keeping an 18 inch wheel. I hope the future brings normal weight 34/35 inch tires in the 18 inch wheel sizes.

There are far more numerous choices in 17 inch tires, but I’m concerned about brake caliper clearance as my go to trails are quite rocky. No criticism of those that went to 17s, I seriously considered it and may consider it again.

Wish i could find SL tires in 285/70 or 285/75

 

[nonamex]

Yeah, the only SL tires are found in 17 in sizes. I have found that the calipers fit fine in Method, Icon, and Rays 17 in wheels.

Thanks for the reply, sir - good insight.

I looked at your size and yes, it's heavy (for a C-load, Duraspec) at 68lb. The comparable Toyo AT3 (E-load) is 57lb, which is likely the route I'd take if I stick with the stock rims. I only mentioned the Falken cause Toyo doesn't offer a 35x11.5x18, whereas Falken does, at 63lb.

Glad you're liking the Falkens. I loved my last set. Thanks again.
