Trail wheels on 3rd gen. Thoughts and opinions.

[Scramble]

They're overrated!

 

[Unner]

I knew that. Duh. Just being lazy. Thanks for the pics.

I am not sure I like the stock front bumper look as much as with an ARB or the like. Still mulling it over.

My brother's friend has five Toyo AT3 with 5,000 miles on them for less than $90 each in a 265/75/16 size.

Why not compare them? :shrug:

Thanks Unner. You must really stand out at work even at BMW. My boss's brother drives a X5 M. Tasty, it is.

What would really solve this dilemma would be to have two 3rd gens, one for the sensible me and then one for the never aging teenager in me.

Nice. Are you running a body lift? Wanting to put 315's on mine. Did you have to run wheel spacers?

No body lift its all suspension (See Below)

Lift Setup:
-Front:
Tundra Bilstein 5100s
Eibach 3 inch lift coils
Set on the second perch
-Rear:
4th Gen 2 Inch Lift Bilstein 5100s
LC 8 Wraps
-Hub to Fender:
F: 23 3/4"
R: 25"

I have also trimmed then folded the pinch welds and put on Light Racing UCAs

Had them on with stock arms for a bit but then got the UCAs to dial in the castor to remove all rubbing.

Had to use 1.25" Spidertrax Spacers to get the wheel/ tire on with the stock UCA and even had to use them to clear the Light Racing ones that are thinner in that area.

315s will run smaller than 35x12.5s so you will have a bit more room.

Hope this answers your questions but if you have anymore just let me know.

I'm no photoshop guru.

Neither am I, but here's a quick mock up. Hopefully that helps!

What years do I need to look for? I like the gunmetal/dark silver look.

Getting ready to put these wheels on in the next week or so! This thread was a huge help in that! They all look so great!

These wheels look amazing on 3rd Gen's. Where can I possibly find a set for sale or trade even?

The classifieds here & CL, E-Bay is overpriced. A set goes up for sale here every other day.

like others said, don't black out the wheels. plus I always thought when people sell spray painted wheels it hurts their resell value. its turned me away a few times.

I think they look great.

Oh yea, one more vote for no paint on the trail rims... the blacked out rims is very overplayed. I'll be happy to see that fad die out.

I love my trail wheels, but need some bigger tires. Hopefully soon.

They do look great in their natural factory color. I would love to have some on mine but they look like they tuck under the fenders a little too much with the Limited flares. I bought some 17 TRD Off Road wheels and put them on. They looked great from the side, but too far under the fenders for me when viewed at an angle. I like the flush with flares look.

 

[btgood1]

Is anyone running these with the a stock rig?

 

[YouInTheShirt]

Trd or

 

[btgood1]

Yes the Trail Wheels. I am looking at buying some to put on my stock 3rd gen... Just not sure how they will fit.
