Level 8 MK6

Mk6

Just received my back-ordered 17x8 MK6 in gunmetal and put those on with 265/70-17 KO2s. I was afraid that staying with the stock size tires would look small but they don’t at all, the KO2s are aggressive enough that I had some rubbing while in reverse at full-lock. I completed the fender liner mod to alleviate the rubbing and now I’m just trying to figure out which decals to go with. I like the TRD decal look but I’m thinking about the TEQ decals that I’ve seen pictured as well.

question

Anyone running JBA UCA's with these? I ask as I had 285 WildPeaks on the stock trail wheels and they rubbed the UCA's just slightly.
Would like to swap wheels to something that does not rub.

This was the toughest decision for me too. As you can see in my pics, I went TRD and I’m thrilled. They’ve been through several wheeling trips now including deep mud and now deep snow and ice with winter. They look brand new.

Wheels and decals still holding up great and we’ve been getting a ton of snow and ice!

so with 3" lift and 285 BFG, what's the consensus for no rub ? -10 or 0 ? Everyone with this setup doesn't list their offset.

 

[Decipher]

I have a 2.5” and 285 KO2s with -10 offset and I do not rub the body mount and I’ve gone through full articulation. You should be okay but as you’ll notice, every rig is different and sometimes people rub when others don’t.

I did have to chop up my liners since the heating and molding didn’t work.

Plus, the -10 just looks right. 0 offset is too tucked for my taste.

Not the best pic but you can see the offset sits just outside the fenders.

I have -10 and never seen the 0 offset version in person just internet pictures but I prefer to have my spokes further back for asthetics and better tire fitment as well. My 285 P Wildpeak only rubs on the front liner in reverse turning. I had 265 nitto grapplers on preface sr5 wheels with 1.25" wheels spacers and have about the same amount of wheels poke looking down the side of the truck.

These wheels are holding up well for me. I do get some very minor rubbing on full lock in reverse. I did trim my front bumper. I maybe trimmed an eighth of an inch with my pocket knife. The tires still rub on the front mud flaps. I just haven’t gotten around to dealing with that yet. Should be any easy fix.

Nice looking rig!

Anyone have a pair of black level 8 center caps I can buy?

 

[Decipher]

I have no idea why anyone would.

Maybe try contacting discount tire to see what they can do?

Been there, done that. Stupid expensive.

 

[Decipher]

For real?!? Dang. I hope I’m wrong and someone has a set lying around.

If not I’ll just buy the Toyota ones and rattle can them black. Or ... I’ll buy the trd ones and trade someone.

I’ll buy someone a set of 4 Toyota TRD ones in fact for tradsies.
