I’ve scoured google and YouTube to try and collect information but would like another set of eyes.
(Also, this is my first post on this forum! I come from a pretty respectful 2nd gen Tacoma build with big wheels and tires)
For reference, I have a 2021 Ford lariat fx4 501a in lead foot.
I plan on installing a 2“ level (I bought the 2” rough country spacers, but after research I’m going to look into the ford fox suspension)
Truck uses:
-Daily
-Hunting
-Adventure/ over landing
-snow / ski truck
-general truck stuff
-fair bit of towing
goals:
-new wheels (im in-different if they are 18”s or 17”s, I like the look of a smaller wheel, most information I could find would be about 20”s. Seems like most ford owners like the bigger rim size)
-bigger tires (I want either Ko2’s or the falken at3’s)
-fill out the wheel arches better
-little to 0% poke
-little to no cutting, no crash bar atleast
-retain factory function of all the driver assist stuff (didn’t think I needed it but it is really nice to have, I plan on getting the blue cruise)
I’ve narrowed it to these setups, and would like to know if they would work with my goals or fit.
I like the idea of tall and skinny, the 295/75r17’s on my Tacoma got old.
a) method 17x8.5 +0mm , BF ko2 34x10.5r17.
b) method 18x9 +18mm. , falken at3W 285/75r18. (34x11.8)
c) method 18x9 +18mm., Falken at3W or Ko2 275/70r18 (33.4x11”)
cost difference: A) +$82. B) +$155. C) 0.00 so really not a ”big” difference
Haven’t seen any trucks with option A, and with the 0mm offset I would be about 1/4” away from flush if other peoples measurements were correct, but this is where I become unsure because I’m going off random measurements.
Pics of the truck! (Super happy with it, immediately took it on a antelope hunt, made me realize i need just a bit bigger tire and made me miss my camper shell. So i bit the bullet and put a deposit on a RSI smart cap for when they come out)
