I have anticipated this and have purchased a cut of 3m ppf to put on that area. I need to make a template and get it done before my wheels get here

Trailhunter Wheels (18x8.5" 265/70R18 +20mm offset) on Stock 2024 TRD Off-Road

@SonoranSurvivalist Hey, sorry to keep pestering you about this topic, but my last two wheels are being delivered today (fingers crossed this time) and I'm expecting to get them installed late next week once the tires come in. Are the original lugs ok to reuse, or will I need to purchase a different set? I also pre-emptively purchased a 1.25" front spacer lift from Peak Suspension just in case there's a need for a little extra room, but I'm hoping I won't need it. I may install it anyway to level out the truck slightly. It was relatively inexpensive in any case.

The lugs were the same, spacer isn't needed... I've gone 4 wheeling and have had zero rubbing at stock height.
Ok cool. Yeah, I went with 275/70R18 tires, which are 33.2" diameter, so I think they're gonna be tight. The spacers might give me a little more breathing room, but I intend to install the wheels first to see how it goes.
I weighed the bronze wheels at just over 33 lbs each. I also had the opportunity to weigh the 18" OR hybrid wheels since I was sent those by mistake, and they were nearly identical weight-wise (I think @Lando was interested in doing this potentially). The tires that you select are likely to have a much bigger impact on gas mileage than the weight of the wheels themselves, but it all adds up.

Nice! I haven't yet decided to install a lift. If I do, it will be the wescott lift when I also get their rock rails.
I bought the 1.25" front leveling kit from Peak and never installed it. That size tire is almost perfect for these trucks on the stock suspension. I kind of like the rake on these trucks as they sit, so I didn't really want to install the spacer lift unless I needed to. I'm really considering one of the new Fox suspension kits that just came out, but that's a big spend. Maybe in another year or two... we'll see. Congrats on the wheels! You made a good choice.
Do these come with center caps or do I need to order them separate? If separate does anyone know the part number? Sparks parts just called and told me they’re in stock and I can pick them up in the morning since I’m local.

PT280-35221-5F and no, they don't come with the wheels and must be ordered separately.
They look great on your truck and considering doing the same with either these or Pro wheels. Do you find you're getting much overspray or rock chips with the tires sitting 1 3/8" further out. My concern was with gravel overspray when I'm on local logging and fire roads. In the photos the +20 offset appears to have 3/4" or so of tread past the factory flares?

Yes, there's considerably more. I just ordered the wider mud flaps and also some rock sliders with top plates from westcott designs so I'm hoping that will be enough to solve the the problem. If that doesn't solve it then I guess I'll need to get the wider flares.
Agreed. The added poke inevitably causes more stuff to fly onto the sides of your truck. I added some rock sliders with kick outs towards the rear that have helped a lot, and also the ARK micro guards that also help to add a little protection. If you run sliders or running boards, these will definitely help to protect those rear fenders, but there are a ton of mud guard options out there as well to consider.
