I'd like to up mine to 4.56s eventually...
Please don't waste your time or money, go with 4.88's. I have 4.56's and they look great on paper but offer little improvement with 285's and an Auto.

I'm running the stock tundra shocks
Your truck defintely looks tougher now. I was wondering what size/bs you got on the wheels. I've been eyeing them at summit for a while. They have great prices on them, but I couldn't find enough info on them, and I also didn't like the fact that in a 16x8, they were listing a 5" bs. That looks weak. Glad you got the 16x8 w/a 4". Did you measure edge to edge or bead to bead? You do know all wheels are an inch wider when measured edge to edge right? And also 1.5" taller in total diameter. Either way, you truck looks really nice! Good job.

Edit: Oh and nice job on the tires haha. I was eyeing the exact same set on eBay. That is a helluva price for a helluva tire.

I didn't know that they were an inch wider, but now I do. Guess they are 16x7 with a 4" bs but they are plenty wide for a 255. Yeah, when I was looking at the 16x8, I didn't get them because I wanted my wheels to fill out the wheel wells a little better and 5" bs would look gay imo.

4.10's are the most common. some come with 4.56's.....any ways


looks very nice man. my friend just order those rims from summit today as well. if the shop did a crap balancing/alignment they should do it again. ask them for a print out and dont accept anything more than +- 3 degrees.

Real nice! Good choice on the tires. I love my Maxxis Buckshots. They wear better and wheel better than my old MTR's and they were cheaper! I too paid $600 for four and free shipping via ebay.
