Tall Skinny 255/80r17s

Mostly posting as I was curious how these would fit / look and if a full size would fit in place of the spare. Good news is they fit great and align perfectly with the fender flares, look great, and fit in the spare spot (very tightly).

Tires: LT255/80r17 Falken Wildpeak AT4W Load E
Wheels: 17X8.5 METHOD MR703 +25mm offset

How do they ride? This is a great choice for performance, off-roading capability, weight savings, handling on the highway, and fuel economy (low rolling resistance). I personally prefer the look of a wide tire but recognize that the skinny is better for performance.

Your tires are a true 33” which is

I really like that, I'd like to maybe get 255/80/r18 for my pro but they aren't available, at least in Canada

They ride great! Definitely stiffer than the stock tires but worth the peace of mind when it’s tire versus rock. It was definitely for all those reasons I went with these - plus not hanging as low in the spare tire spot. They really fill out the truck better too imo.

This size definitely had a more limited selection but luckily they had the wild peaks which was what I wanted anyways!

!!! Dude you did it, thank you, they look awesome. That's exactly what I am wanting to do to my truck. I just ordered a Total Chaos, 2 .5in King coil over full suspension, new sway bar end links and dobson rear Springs. Everybody's gone to 35in tires and wondering why the truck is overheating and getting s***** mileage. It's not rocket science. These trucks are not designed to run 35in tires, unless you rehear them. In my opinion, take it for what it's worth. I've been building Toyota's for over 40 years and I've already been there and done that.
Dude, your truck looks awesome.
Thank you for the picture that is exactly what I was looking for.
How did you figure the offset on the wheel?
That's the only thing I cannot figure out?
