New black wheels and 285 MTRs *PICS*

Picked up some Goodyear 285/75/16s today and put them on WheelerOffroad's black aluminum alloy wheels.

I *really* appreciate all the help and advice I've gotten from people on this site.
I'm learning slowly but surely how my truck works

These are the best pics for now.
Hopefully I'll have more later with the Runner in action

4 wheels + lugs + wheel caps + shipping ~= $618
Pricey, but I didn't want to mess around with trying to balance steel wheels.

I didn't get the A or B steel wheels.
I got the aluminum alloy ones.

So far I don't notice any loss of power.
The supercharger definitely helps
Someday I'll prob regear... but I've got to recover from the cost of these wheels and tires first!


Future plans are sliders and bumpers, but I have to see how hard I wheel it and if those make sense.

I also need to figure out all the urd modifications for the supercharger, cuz it's been on their for 70k+ miles and I haven't done anything to it.

So much to do, so little time (and $$$).

Did you get the wheels and tires and all for $618? Maybe you mean 818 or something? 4 MTRs usually cost more than that!

285/75/16s means... 285mm wide, 75% of the width is the sidewall.
285/25.4 = 11.22" x 0.75 = 8.41" x 2 + 16" = 32.83" tall with a 11.22" width.

Hey crux,

because my friend is looking to lift his 3rd gen and I really have no idea about the cost of 3rd gen lifts.

It was around $750 for all the suspension parts (shocks, coils, diff drop, andy's spacer, etc)
The bodylift was $108 + shipping from 4Crawler Off Road.




So my buddy is trying telling me I need to paint my Runner black now.
He says baby blue is too girly =\
