So excited I just bought the same rims after countless hours of research. Gonna run 35x12.5s too and a 3.5 lift.

[@RoadPatina]

Great choice! It will look killer!

Much better look than the old wheels. Looks nice!

absolutely beautiful build, I'm going to have to follow some of these ideas!!

[@JP-ps1ut]

love the setup, im looking for somthing like this, thanks!

[@binnie465]

I really feel you men. I have toyota hilux lifted 3 inches and fitting a 285/75/r17 is a struggle. So for previous expirience that I had with other trucks, i preffer go little bit smaller with the tyre and not having to chop anything because chopping and cutting is good for not rubbing in street use but when you go off road is another story. Wrapping up better go with aftermarket bull bar or smaller tyre.

[@RoadPatina]

I agree! Slightly smaller tire is much easier and less painful. The visual difference is minimal and barely noticeable.

[@grahamchenry]

Im glad im not the only one with tire poke on the right

Thanks! +35 with stock uca may be close. Worse case you can run a small spacer if you feel safe, or it’s a good reason to buy new uca!

[@jasonk2787]

a easy way to fix the fog light covers is to unbolt them and push the bottom portion of the cover into the housing. Just heat it and bend it upwards into the lower bumper caps and screw back in the two small 10mm bolts. That's what I did on my tundra as I plan on running 35s in the future but what you did works as well. Great looking truck and setup. Love the clean look and color combo.

[@RoadPatina]

Thanks Jason! I heated and pushed in the plastic as far as it will go. It is rubbing on the bumper corner lower mounting ear behind plastic that is metal. One last attempt before spacing the bumper!

You didn't mention is the truck stock before putting the 35tires on your tundra.. No lift or leveling kit was in the truck so the 35s would fit.

[@1arm_658]

any panhard bar set up will be offset a bit because you have to compensate for the travel. If it's centered in a neutral stance then flexed it would be too far the other way.

[@thebigempty_5792]

I was wondering what the grey/bronze combo would look like. I have a 4wd double cab same color / went with the new Method 705 in matte black / I kinda wish I'd gone with the platinum since black wheels are over done these days and that series is not available in bronze. The 705 also have the +25 which is what sold me over the top and I had to have them. I'm about to do a 3.5 Ironman 4x4 lift, so it looks like I'll be able to fit 35's......your truck looks perfect man. It really is a challenge to get it "just right" and you nailed it!

[@RoadPatina]

Thanks man! Well, if you got the rims you like and the right offset I think your good to roll! Later, if you really get bored or sick of the black, paint them. I bet they will grow on you more and more. Who cares what everyone else is running! True 35’s are close to the cab mount and bumper no mater what you do. Some run the metric size that is about a 34” tire with better clearance. 285/75-18 I think? If I did more off-roading, I would probably trim the bumper or maybe run 34s. FWIW.

[@thebigempty_5792]

Method has the 706 on sale for 246. I went to Discount Tire to see if they could get them and save me 100 on shipping and they offered them for 236.00 and no fee for install/balance - The 706 have a +35 offset so they will tuck in another 1/2" compared to the +25.@@RoadPatina

[@jerzeedivr]

[@thersmbecks]

I know this video is a little old but do you know what your caster numbers were after alignment? I have same wheels in black but 18" on 35's as well with King 2.5 remote adjusters. I have the bumper spacer already in but it does rub on the cab mount. Need to move the wheel forward..

[@RoadPatina]

Yes, if your bumper is spaced have them move wheel forward (caster) away from cab mount. I don’t recall my specs, sorry. Actually need to have it realigned soon!

[@bryank7133]

@@RoadPatina the front to back movement you get when adjusting caster is only a byproduct of changing the caster. Caster is actually the rotation of the steering knuckle, and having too much or too little caster angle determines how your vehicle handles, particularly bump steer. Positive caster will keep the vehicle from "wandering", or excessive bump steer, while driving straight, and the more positive caster you have, the further forward in the wheel well your tire will sit, although it's not a huge difference. Negative caster will move your wheel towards the rear of the opening slightly, but can lead to a truck that doesn't have proper straight-line stability. Caster is measured by the position of the lower ball joint in relation to the upper ball joint.

Good question! The King coilovers come set from King at about 2.25-2.5 inches. You can crank them up a little but I don’t recommend it, too much preload on the spring.
