Got my new wheels and tires today from Discount Tire Direct. Love the new look to my truck!

Before:

After:

Goodyear Duratrac 295/65/18's wrapped around MB Wheels Chaos 18X9's

Now I need to sell my TRD Wheels with General AT2's.

Thinking about fender flares now. Yes or No?

Looks good

Looks mean!...and yes to flares it will complete the bad ass look!

Ok, do I need to take my truck to the dealership to get the tpms sensors calibrated or something? My warning light came on this morning. If so, what's that gonna cost me?

 

[TundraTigger]

Wow. What a difference! Any rubbing issues?

 

[AbsolutGT]

wait, did you buy their TPMS kit when you bought the package or did you reuse your TPMS's out of your stock wheels?

truck looks good btw!

 

[morser77]

What a difference wheels and tires can make. Looks awesome. I'm not a fan of fender flares but if u like em go for it!!

 

[TundraTigger]

Do you have to buy theirs or can you use the 'stock' ones?

 

[TundraTigger]

Those tires / wheels would look sick on my '12 CM (Black).

If the TMPS Sensors fit into the new wheels then it's just a matter of switching them over and resetting. If they do not, and you do not have new sensors then it gets really expensive really fast. Toyota is proud of those damn sensors. If it did come with its own sensors though, you just have to have them programmed which shouldn't be too much.

As far as the flairs go, I'd go with a black set of Bushwackers on that setup, IMO that would tie it in real nice.

lol...my stock sensors that came out of the "styled steel wheels" have fit into my KMC XD Hoss's and BBS's wheels with no issues...what I've seen the import kids do, if the sensor doesn't fit into their new aftermarket wheels, instead of the sensor laying flat against the wheel, they just flip them around so that the sensor is pointing the opposite way.

Looks great. Looks like a different truck now. What's the offset of your wheel? If the offset is too high, flares will make tires look tucked in.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I have a 2.5" Ready Lift Level Kit on the truck. The only other thing I had to do was remove that little piece of rectangular plastic inside the wheel wells in front of the tires. I have not idea what that thing was for anyway. Took about 1 minute to remove them. Discount Tire Direct installed new TPMS Sensors with the wheel/tire package, so they are new. If I just have to get them programmed at the dealer, I'll wait until my next oil change to get that done.

The offset is +25

very nice- making me glad that the 20's I was thinking of are back ordered with not ETA... went with the 18's- and love the tire size. HUGE difference.

My TPMS sensors were switched right over from my stock wheels to the Level 8 wheels that I got. I used the same tires and they worked perfectly after the new wheels were installed. Didn't have to re-program or anything.

I got a package deal on the wheels and tires from Discount Tire Direct, so I didn't have the option of using my old sensors. I mistakenly thought the computer would just recognize the signal or something and adjust. Guess I was wrong! Ha! Not a huge deal, I'll just ignore the idiot light until it goes back for service.

So your wheels is 7 mm more tucked in than mine, but your tires are 20 mm wider than my stock tires half of which should push out your set-up, which nets you 3 mm. In other words, your set-up will look very similar to mine with fender flares. If you want the wheels/tires to be pushed out more, you could always add wheel spacers.

 

[wballen.79]

Yeah, should just be a reprogramming then. Congrats! Awesome looking Tundra!

Thanks wballen!
