Yes

Yes

Just ordered a set in black.. I’m thinking about switching to Bronze?

 

[Supertech1]

The matte bronze is very dark. More of a gray bronze. Versatile color, IMO.

Nice choice! I also went with the MT SL in the same size, but I went with the Method 703's 17x8.5 +35. Checked with a level, right at 1" of poke from the fender.

My twin!!

RRW replied and changed the order to Bronze ordered Nokian outpost NAT’s 285/70/17’s. (SL 46lbs) Unfortunately the wheels won’t be here until February… that should put me at about 66lbs total wheel and tire weight?

Method 703 is 28 pounds and MT BB in SL is 48 pounds? That’s light. I wonder why the AT4s in the same size are 53. Wider maybe. My 275/70/18 AT4s run crazy wide compared to the size.

When searching for tire wheel combos, poke and weight were priority. I’ll admit this setup has a little more poke than I’d prefer, but I’m happy with it. I believe the 8” wheel width and the tire tread width helped to minimize.

Now the details. The OEM TRD OR wheels with BFG Trail Terrain tires weigh 64 lbs 11 ozs.

MT Baja Boss AT 285/70/17 SL 48 lbs. This does not include center caps, which I’m waiting on delivery. Total weight 66 lbs 14 oz. This is actual weight not estimated.

Shout out to my local Discount Tire store….The Baja Boss’ balanced great, 3/4 oz to max 4.5 oz. They roll smooth with a slight hum. I’ve only driven 20 miles on them, but happy with initial ride. One thing I noticed was the lack of gravel they picked up going up and down my 400 yd drive a few times, then out on road with no gravel slinging.

Wow. 10 pounds lighter than method 703. Do you think your wheels would fit on a trailhunter?

Yes, they will fit. Brake caliper clearance is not an issue. I ran these (1500 mile) on my TrailHunter for a hunting trip in November.

I want to copy this exact setup. Love it. Please tell me all the details of the wheel / tire combo just so I can confirm it

Currently running 93 pounds per corner with my AT4s and I’m not super happy about the results

Wow. Got a poke shot? +12 seems super aggressive. The stock TH wheels have +25 and I am on 275s and it has decent poke already. That said the Falken LTs run probably half an inch wider than most tires in that same spec. Your setup looks great— from the first picture the poke looks perfect but can’t tell for sure how much it’s sticking out.

I can’t believe that is less than the stock weight of 73 pounds. Any negative consequences of going lower weight? How does the suspension feel with this setup over rough roads and terrain ?

RRW offers the same wheels with +25 offset.

MT-Taco is correct., +25 with 8.5” width is now available At the time I purchased, the +12 17x 8” was the only option. The 8” wheel vs 8.5” makes a slight difference as well.

If I’m not mistaken, the TH wheel is +20? Atleast that’s how mine are stamped.

These are the only pics that might help. Sorry, I don’t have a good straight on picture showing the poke. There was very little difference between the stock tire/wheel

none that I noticed, it’s the perfect combo IMO. Suspension feels great with this set up. Ride and drive is great. They’d still be on my TH if I hadn’t borrowed them from the TRD OR. In fact, I’ll likely pick up a set for the TH too.

Do you know how much lift is on the PRO and TH versus the Sport and OR? Your truck has the perfect stance.
