Wheel Size for TRD Lowering Springs

Hey Everyone.

I’m looking to get new wheels this weekend. Still running the stock ones.

I have TRD lowering springs - all other suspension components are stock. I’m hoping to graduate to an 18” rim. Does anyone have any insight if I’ll be safe with an 8.5 offset running 235-245 tires?

What’s my best bet for fitting? Thanks!

This guy nailed it for best fit on 18s with 1 inch drop/trd springs

Welcome to the forum.

You can get 18x8.5 wheels with an offset of +45 to +25 Most get an offset in the +35 to +40 range.

Either size tire will work. though 245/35/ is closer to stock diameter. It is also a bit more costly. If on a budget, 225/40s will work great too. They are a super common size; thus cheaper. (usually)


Good Luck!

Amazing - thanks for the info buddy! Glad this will work with my lowering springs. Not quite ready to do coilovers (yet)!

I'm on factory TRD springs and my 245/40/17 +38 setup has no issues. But I cannot weigh in on 18s.
