My Long Bed 4th Gen Tacoma Build w/ Lift, Toyo Open Country AT3 285/75 Tires, Method 703 Wheels +35 offset

1106garage · Feb 27, 2024

Made a special trip down to Phoenix, AZ to get the truck outfitted at Westcott Designs where we got some test fitting done. Couldn’t be happier with the result. I would recommend Westcott 10/10 times. Their customer experience is top tier and their products are unmatched.

It needs to be recalibrated but the tech for the new Tacomas isn’t out yet.

Damn that looks amazing!!! Do you happen to have a picture straight on from the front and back? I was looking to go 285/75/17 with 17x8.5 +25 but not sure if the tires would look too skinny. I want a little wider setup so maybe 305/70/17 would work better for me. It’s about the same height wise around a 34” but about 1 inch wider. Also, how close are you to rubbing? Did they remove the bracket?

Looks great and I like that the wheels don’t poke out too much
Do they have that wheel in a bronze?

Is this lift the 2.5” in the from and .75” in the back?

What trim and package did this truck start off as? I’m 100% in on a 6’ bed too! I absolutely love this one, especially those black Method Racing wheels. If I end up with a TH, I’ll likely replace the bronze wheels with these same MR 703 wheels (or 705). I might look to get rid of the 1” poke though and go a tire size down for less rotating mass (better fuel economy), otherwise this is the stance I’ll be looking for.

Perfect! I've got a bronze oxide OR 6' box scheduled to arrive sometime in March and this is IMHO a great presentation for that vehicle! Just to confirm, the preload collars were 2" front & 3/4" rear?

Would the 285/70/17 tires fit fine with no rubbing without the offset and just the lift?

love the truck and could see myself going for something similar; wishing for an OR preem though :(. My biggest reason for getting a tacoma is the 6ft bed for my snowmobile since GM dropped it on their mid size trucks, its so disappointing to see how 'rare' the 6ft bed is especially at higher trims. How is the 6ft for you? anything special you've noticed or more difficult when you were acquiring your truck?

This wheel is available in 4 colors with bronze being one of them... https://www.methodracewheels.com/products/703-method-bronze?variant=31924219707453

Wish the 6ft Bed was available in the Hybrid OR.

I wish the 6' was available with 6M transmission. Tradeoffs..I shouldn't gripe, atleast the 6MT is still an option at all.

You sure about that? I thought it would be available with a 6’ bed. With the hybrid not available yet, how would anyone know for sure since the hybrid option isn’t in the configurator. Honestly I’m hoping for the same truck as you if the TH is too pricy or comes standard with features I don’t want on it.
