Teaser for 18” Titan 7 T-AK1 Techna Bronze wheels with Yokohama Tires. These photos were posted on the FB group, waiting to get additional information on wheel and tire size/offset.

** Update: Wheels are 18x8.5 +20

Also curious on tire size and wheels specs

Nori green and bronze go well together

That’s the Tundra/Seq spec
18x8.5 +20mm

What benefit does that wheel give if it detracts from oem geometry

 

[Rk1679]

I would be inclined to keep the stock wheels but would be interested in knowing if 285s would fit with little to no modifications.

285 should fit depending on the brand. It’s only a 15mm increase. Downsizing to a 17 with a 285 will put you same distance to oem

Not helpful in this area sorry.

No you’re good I was just asking in broad terms if anyone would be able to provide some insight. I’m newer to the off-road community but have been following along on the internet for about a year now. My background is in road racing so I’m familiar with suspension geometries and know there’s certain tolerances that if you exceed by putting a bigger wheel tire you will change the behavior of the vehicle significantly.

This is the route I’d go. Can anyone confirm 17” wheels will clear the calipers?

Westcott was running 17x8.5 Methods with a +35 offset on a new GX:

New 2024 GX550 on 35X12.5 Toyo Open Country tires wrapped around some Method Race Wheels 703 17X8.5 w/ +35 offset. Westcott_designs also added a pre cooler kit along with their new modular roof rack for the GX.
