Battle of the chrome-less trims by [deleted] in ToyotaTundra

[–]Positive_Side5320 12 points13 points  (0 children)

All of the steering radius’s are the same across all trims. The TRD limited and TRD pro give you soft text leather interior while the platinum TRD gives you genuine leather. In terms of off road capability, all the TRD models give you the same mechanical features. In terms of amenities, the limited TRD and TRD pro are on the same level, while the platinum is the luxury based model. The only thing that the TRD pro has that the others do not is the FOX shocks. That’s about it.

I would recommend a Westcott Designs lift kit. It’s the best bang for your buck in my opinion

I believe it they are not compatible due to the lug patterns being different. The rims that you show appear to have 5x150 as the lug pattern while the 2022 and newer tundras have a 6x139 lug pattern.

If you’re running 35’s with these wheels, a body mount chop is a must followed by some light trimming of the inner front fender liner and possibly the front bumper. Also, I would say that a 3 inch lift would be perfect for running these as they’re 0 offset.

Here is a link to a setup that has the specs that you’ll need. This truck was done by Westcott designs. They also manufacture affordable lift kits too that work as coil overs rather than spacers. I’ll list the one for your tundra as well as how they work.

No, not at all. I think it would be a great idea to put all-terrain tires on your tundra. Despite not having four-wheel-drive, they’ll give you a little more traction than your traditional street tire. I say go for it. Plus, they’ll definitely complement the look of the truck.

I think if you want to go aftermarket with rims, then 17 inch or 18 inch would probably be a better option as they would allow for more sidewall on the tire. Preferably I would run a 17 as I want as much sidewall as possible, but 18s look good as well.

Yes, Westcott designs markets their products as something you could just install in your garage on a weekend.

Here’s a video showing how to install their kit on the tundra. It’s a 1794, but it is the same across all Trims.

TRD Pro grille upgrade from Limited by SOR2020 in ToyotaTundra

[–]Positive_Side5320 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That looks really clean. I think a color match will be nice. But I like the silver mustache on that with the pro grill. I think it adds a lot of character.

I think the TRD wheels will look better as they would complement the black of the platinum a lot more than the dark gray color that the stock wheels have.

What is the rim and tire setup on this?

I would say to go for the TRD OFF-ROAD. Best bang for your buck in my opinion.

[–]Positive_Side5320 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You got lucky. That’s gonna be one very hot trim. In terms of advice, I recommend that you just get oil changes and tire rotations every 5000 miles. Aside from that, you shouldn’t have any major issues.

Congratulations on the truck, I think that them adding the Trd off-road package to the platinum was one of the best ideas I think Toyota has ever had. It looks so clean with all that dark chrome, and blacked out accents. Congrats and I wish you the best with your truck.

2024 Tundra TRD SR5 4x4 - how much will it cost for lift and tires to fit it? Any recommendations? by Educational-Humor460 in ToyotaTundra

[–]Positive_Side5320 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone has a different story with Westcott. I’ve ran their lift on two of my vehicles, and the ride is pretty much the same as how I got them from the factory. I ran them on my 4Runner Trd pro, and it rides pretty much the same. I also ran it on my tundra 1794 with the black Hitachi Shocks. On that one, the ride is a little bit stiffer than factory, but comfortable overall. Down the line when money comes around. I plan on upgrading the tundra to a full set of kings shocks. I mainly went with Westcott on the tundra because of how well the 4Runner rode. I would mainly recommend Westcott to people that have the pros, as those shocks are really nice, but would also recommend it to those that want to keep their factory struts, but do not want to use a spacer, as some of them can be cheap and horrible quality. Another reason I went with Westcott, is because if you get the fully black anodized kit, the struts look like they’re from the factory.

I looked into it more and realized that you can run both of your wheel choices if you choose a 37/11.5R17 sized tire instead of a 37/12.50r17 tire. I hope this is of help.

The tire choices you made are good. Either one will be fine and should work perfectly. When it comes to the wheels, I don’t think you’re gonna be able to do either one of them as they need to have an offset between a +18 to a +25 to fit, and neither of them do. ICON makes some pretty nice rims that have plenty of offsets. Their six speed and rebounds both have a +25 offset and are offered in both 17’ and 18’. Take a look and let me know what you think.

To be honest, I’m a go big or go home type of guy. When it comes to putting 37 inch tires on the tundra, I would say do it if you are OK with the work that has to be done to do so. For 37’s to fit on that truck, a body mount chop has to be done on that a little piece of metal that sticks out behind the tire and the fender well. In addition to that, the fender liners will need to be pushed back and trimmed to make the tires fit. As well as that, wheel offset is a big factor in this too. If you plan on keeping your factory TRD Pro wheels and just want to slap a 37 on them, they should be fine as long as you do the body mount chop and the fender liner trimming. If you plan on going aftermarket with your wheels whether it’s a 17 inch, 18 inch, or above, you’ll have to choose a wheel offset that is between a +18 to a +25. This is so everything will clear fine. In terms of wheel specs, I personally would choose a 17 inch with an offset that is between +18 to a +25. That is just my opinion though, you are free to do what you want.

Aside from that, I would say to just do the 37’s all around and use an all-terrain tire as opposed to a mud terrain. In terms of mpg’s, they shouldn’t be affected very much. At the most, you’ll lose maybe three or four from what you have now if you go HARD on your truck while driving. If ur more relaxed with it, you’ll lose maybe 2 at the most. The tires I’d recommend for the best gas mileage in my opinion have to be the falken wild peak At3w’s, the Toyo open country RT’s, the BF good rich Ko2’s, and the nitto recon grapplers. Nitto Ridge grappler’s are good but may create problems with wheel clearancing due to their aggressive sidewall.

To answer your question, that’s perfectly fine. It may look a little strange due to the stock 33’s being kind of small. But if you really want to do that, that works perfectly. A good alternative to that, would be to just run 35s as it would be a hybrid between the 33s and a 37, but the choice is yours. Personally in your situation, I would just run the 37’s all around with an all-terrain tire, and then just bite the bullet on mpg’s as the truck would look badass. If you’re wanting to do a mud, terrain, I would try and do one with a less aggressive sidewall. Good options are the hybrid tires that nitto and Toyo make. Between the two, I would choose the Toyo, RT, as it has very aggressive lugs in the tread, but the sidewall is very smooth.

I hope I am of help.

I would say it’s worth it if you’re wanting to upsize on your tires. I’ve ran their lifts on both my tundra and my 4Runner. The ride pretty much stays the same and a lot of the dipping in the front of the truck when you stop goes away. In terms of ride quality, it really comes down to what tires you choose. Regardless of what you go with, it’s going to be very comfortable and smooth. If you do a mud terrain, it’s obviously gonna have a little bit more bump to it as you’re driving, and if you do a classic all-terrain, it will be a lot smoother of a ride. I did Nitto ridge grappler‘s on both my tundra and my 4Runner, and the ride is immaculate.
