If your experiencing fast wear on ATKO's, then it's your pressure, alignment, or general driving habits. The ATKO with regular rotation and attention to pressure is an easy 50k tire. I have those on my F150 with 25k on them an they are easily at 80% remaining tread. Keep in mind these tires need more pressure in them. If you are running them in the low/mid 30 psi range that's part of the issue. No affiliation at all to BFG other than a satisfied customer. They'll be on my Tundra when the time comes.

Wheels for 2008 Toyota Tundra Double Cab 4x2

All of those would fit a CrewMax too right? I really like how the Zinik z26 Vieri's look.

yea and I'm sure there would not be a prob for 4*4 either. But syber ur 4*2 like me. And same for 07's.

Yea those are nice. They make the moda 210's fir regular cars aswell and Im pushing my gf to put them on her black 06 mustang. ANd for the car they are $100 less.

It kinda sucks how those are 20" and I think there is a 22" in there and they look like 18" ha.

I think I know the answer, but I want to make sure that 325/60/18's will fit. I am lifted 2.5". What kind of backspace do I need?

Tire sizes vary slightly by manufacturer, but assuming this is a BF Goodrich Mud Terrain or equivalent type tire, it's slightly taller than stock (32.6") and almost 2" wider (12.2") than stock.

If you split the 2" width increase between the inside and outside of the hub that would mean you could run a 30mm offset and be okay (with your lift). I'd recommend a 15mm offset just to be safe. Typically, a 18x9 aftermarket features a 30mm offset, which basically pushes most of the additional width outward. If you're running a 10" rim (which I would suspect you are) then you'd probably want most of the additional 2" pushed outward. Either a 0mm offset or no more than a 15mm offset would be fine. You might get away with a 30mm offset with the additional clearance of the lift kit, but you might end up rubbing a bit and have to trim the skid plate some.

I'm thinking of buying the same tires for my '07 Crewmax 4x4. Did you need to make any alterations for this tire? I am going to install a lift kit, but not for a few months yet (still a lot of snow).

I have an 08 Crew Max SR5.

I got rid of the stock factory tires and wheels and went wwith BFG All Terrain Radials with Eagle Style 197 wheels. This combo proved impossible to properly balance at tire store. Even got new set, same wheel, and couldn't balance.

They awithced me over to V-Tec Off Road Black. So far, seems pretty good also some hopping sensation in rear of truck. Will take it back tomorrow and see if any wheel threw off a weight.

When the BFG's are on the stock wheels, they are perfect in their ride and balance. Has anyone experienced a balance proble on 08 tundra wth aftermarket wheels/tires?
