A nice surprise . . .

[RyanC]

My Konigs weighed 20lbs 2 oz each on my postal scale and I beleive stock SR5 wheels weigh close to 30lbs as somebody on here weighed them.

Somebody with brand new in the box ones could weigh theirs.hint hint
I heard the bronze ones weigh alot more because of all that bronze.lol jk

According to my digital bathroom scale mine was 20lbs 1oz. I only weighed one as they were already loaded in the back of my truck for tomorrow but the weight appears to be consistent with what you were seeing Harper.

And I made it halfway through the fender mod before the sky opened up and it started pouring. Nothing like laying on your back in the parking lot when it's raining. Not to mention a good amount of water from the hood runs off right where I was laying. Doh.

Guess the passenger side is going to rub until I get it fixed tomorrow.

Ryan,
Just so you aren't surprised, the wheels will rub on the back. Then after you have the caster kicked up to 4 the will rub on the front until the wheel well mod is done. Removing the bottom of the mud flap at the back of the wheel well (2 screws and a push clip) will reduce the rubbing but not solve it until the caster is adjusted.

How much does the TRD wheel weigh in comparison?

Not mounted, they look beautiful. I may just pull these off guys! If they were any brighter they might look like @$$, but they are a really matte bronze.

Also - on my bathroom scale it reads 20 lbs....probably accurate +/- 1 lb.

Mmmmm those are tasty

Dont you have 3 sets of wheels? (stock, konig, beaters)
How many sets do you need? I wish I had bags of money to spend like you :crybaby:

Lol no, just the konigs and the sequoia's, but I'm trying to sell the sequoia's. Work 3 jobs, you'll get there lol.

nice wheels!

is there a big difference in weight vs. the stock TE wheel?

IIRC, TE wheel is 27lbs

So I just picked it up and they claim that they adjusted the caster up front per my direction. But, it appears that I still have some rubbing in the back at full lock. I forgot to pick up the alignment sheet but when I called they said it was at 4.5 and 4.1. Which would indicate that it shouldn't be an issue at all . . .

Thoughts?

Here is a phone photo for now, I'll upload more later.

Looks good!

As for the caster, the LR UCA's max out at +4.0 caster. Something smells fishy!

I assume you stayed with the 265's if so, and correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that caster at +2.0 or above should remedy any rub in the rear.

I'm running Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 285/70-17 with the caster set to 4.0 on both sides plus the wheel well mod, no rubbing issues. The guy that did my alignment had to keep adjusting the tow in to get it right. Maybe something else isn't set to spec.

I'm headed in tomorrow morning to take a look at my specs to see where it's at. Driving it this weekend I definitely noticed it being a bit more difficult to initiate the turn and when on the highway I felt like I had to work a bit more to keep it straight. Not sure if it is coming from the (potential) increased caster or something else from the set-up.

I'll let you guys know what I find out.

I get mine mounted up this afternoon on stock UCAs...we'll see what happens!

 

[SShink]

Ryan,

I think you're going to really like the Konigs, I do. I mounted Nitto Trail Grappler M/T 285-70/17

BTW - If you haven't done the wheel well mode and had your alignment rocked forward to 4.0 caster you should do it before mounting the new rims and tires or they will almost certainly rub.

Do you have a lift in this photo?

Nope. That's stock suspension.
