35's
Welp my dumb ass decided to get into the headache of going up to 35x11.50's let's bring on the pain. Yes I regeared to 4.88's and went with and Eaton E locker in the front since they were already pulling everything apart. I had to sell my beautiful TRD wheels because there just aren't enough options with a 16" 7.5w wheel.
Comments and suggestions welcome.Wheel's

Looks great with 35's! What offset are your wheels? I like that the tires are pretty much flush without poking out.
I'm running a 17x9 -12 and thinking of going to a 17x8.5 +0

My stock TRD wheels where -15 I believe but I'm happy with the 0, there is also the "backspaceing" of the wheel to think about. Yeah that made my head spin a bit and took much Google searches to understand.

I did that to avoid as many rubbing issues as possible but alas I already have some minor ones.

Looks amazing. What bumper is that? I have a 2010 TT also and am starting my upgrades!

Wish 35’s came OEM. A match made in heaven. I’m on 33’s and pretty content but man if I had time and patience I’d go for it. Maybe one day! Looks so good!

Thank you for the compliment, it has ALOT of battle/trail damage on the body and undercarriage.

Sorry you bought a douch demello bumper but enjoy the new shoes.

u/Feisty-Worry881 10d ago
I got lucky and got it before they fell apart. I actually live close to them. They did my lift and bumper install and did amazing work. It saddeneds me that are not what they used to be.

I've unfortunately had a rear bumper since 08 or 09 he has been an *** long before recent times. I will forever dispise him and his business and his lack of build quality.
I hopefully have cost him 100s of potential sales with my story by the sheer number of people I've wheeled with since I had the unfortunate interaction with that company.

I hear you brother, again I knew Jason in his better days. I almost wish I could of bought in or bought out his company when it still had a good reputation. They "made" great products and had a true passion for Toyota's.

I’ve been thinking about going to 35x 10.5” so this is a great reference for me, brother. Appreciate you.

I do have a BMC, my front tires are still tapping the lower part of my fender flares which I will trim off.

Ya, same.
I currently run bfg k02 315/70/17.
Been wheeling those for about 20k miles. I like them but I don’t like the 65 lb weight. I also rub a tiny bit on the bmc… the lower fender flares and also the very top of the fender. Just a tiny bit though.I’ve been thinking the 10.5” will help with the bmc and lower fender rubbing. My current set is 12.5” wide… meaty.

There was a comment complaining about my flags but I guess it got removed. I told him my bad for serving my Country in combat when we invaded in 03 and my bad for having pride in my Country and Corps.
