I said I didn't care because I still can get it cheaper. Anyways I'm thinking about putting on fuel hostages (1 offset) with true 35s 1250s or 295/60R20. Tey are going to be nitro trail grapplers because I have ward from friends local mechanics and tire shops that the toyos open country are crap. What does everyone think?
Toyo are crap how, do they wear out fast, do they ride rough, do they not look good, do they suck on traction? J/k. But seriously I have Toyo and love em. The shop I bought em from said if I rotate em regularly I should expect to get 60k out of em, well I have and now have 30k on em and they're doing great.

Lol... nope none of those things, they do ride a little louder than the nitto TG but they also last a little longer from the mileage reports I've heard.

I don't think I've really ever heard much negative about the Toyos either. Nitto is owned/made by Toyo. I believe the Toyo MTs have a slightly harder compound though and last slightly longer. Before the Nitto Trails came out, the Toyo Open Country MTs were one of the "go-to" truck tires.

DC1402. I saw you paid 2200 from 4 wheel parts. I know they have a 90 day price guarantee. So if I were you I would call them up and say you found it at pcscustom.com. They should at least match the price they gave me at 1950. Therefore you can get some more items for your truck. Also can't wait to see your pics and uarandy3

I'm very excited. Also uarandy3 would having a -12 offset help your rubbing problem? Also would those 35 1250s I want rub more with that 1 offset?

Whinds, I actually bought my kit from PCS for 1764 shipped. The sales person told me I had bought the last one at that price I believe my post said I was quoted 2200 from 4 Wheel Parts (best they could do....). I have UARandy to thank for that good deal, he bought his the day before.

Here are the best pics I could get today of the wheel offset (worked today then was late leaving to go meet with some if wife's coworkers). I haven't looked at them on a computer yet so if they suck or don't show what you want, don't hesitate to let me know and I'll try again tomorrow haha.
The offset seems to be between 11F150FX4 and Sam25 from the past few pages.

Front passenger:

Front driver:

Front driver as viewed from rear:

The way I took the pics was i started where i could see some of the side of the truck, then moved the camera to right where no more side was visible so it would be straight down the side.....if that makes sense. Hope that helps!

I actually think having the -12 offset would make the rubbing worse on the front plastic valence due to the wider arc the tire would be taking, therefore more of the tire would contact the plastic. Same for those Nitto or Toyo 12.50s (most other brands aren't that wide) being wider I think would've caused more rubbing on the same plastic parts. Although, with my tires being 35.5" instead of 35", it could have possibly been about the same net rubbing potential.....which is minimal rubbing on plastic. Sam25 a few pages ago said he has no rubbing though. I can only make a guess as I obviously am not running those tires and every truck is different.

I did trim the plastic today though bc turning full lock was contacting a pretty good bit only on the front plastic valence. I took 1" off each side of the valence and had no more rubbing lock-to-lock on flat surface (haven't tried flexing it out or anything to check for other rubbing areas). Driver side made more contact than the passenger side and 1" of trimming wasn't really necessary to eliminate the rub I don't think, but I wanted a little bit of extra clearance.

In the end, as long as you are comfortable with a little plastic trimming, you should have no trouble with either of those combinations you mentioned.
