17 inch rims for 07-09 tundra

[mike]

I have heard that you can put 17 rims on the new tundra. Does anyone know if that is true and if so can you tell me what brands fit? Someone told me that they put some 17's on there tundra but they had too cut part of the caliper. i want to avoid doing that. My reason for wanting to put 17's rims on my truck is because tires are less expensive. Super swamper makes 34/10.50/17 Cost about $160 each.

That is exactly my concern, The width of the stock TRD rims are said to be only 8" wide.
The specs for a 305/60 or 65/ by 18R recommends a rim of 8.5"-11" in width.
Aren't we short by half and inch?

An 8" (width) rim will work just fine. Many people are running this combo (myself included) with no issues.

Thank you for your response. I will join you guys soon with this combo.

The best price I found for the BFG 305/65/18 was at Discount Tire. I paid $295 each, free shipping.

Ahh see what you mean now. Thought you were referring to diameter. No cranky..it's Friday and we're all humorous around here.

Just a little info on how to read a tire size. I hope it helps.

While I was lost in the mountains this morning I spotted a white Tundra w/TRD package and he had some BFGs...didn't look like it was lifted so I was trying to get a closer look. He thought I was checking him out. I should have at least waved, huh?

[Jeremy Breaux]

Oh, That was you that flashed me?

[OCSR507]

That is funny. Now I know why those guys were looking at me weird when I slow down to check out their Tundra. HAHA

Well I dont know what kind of wheels you got but my Tundra came with 17" wheels so I think you could trade me lol
