edit: i had very minor rubbing in reverse with steering wheel fully locked to one side which is why i went with a 1/4 inch wheel spacer instead of "trimming"

Nice truck I think the open county m/t is the best looking tire in my opinion . how loud are they and do they wear good.

Slight rub at max turn, very small fender liner section

Edit --- doesn't rub here after all, just my mudflaps, I'll bolt then back (when I make it a priority)

Rubs at max turn on mudflap , the inside loose part, which I installed... Possibly poorly haha. A bolt with washers placed in correct spot should fix it

Thanks man! The Toyos wear awesome if you take care of them and the road noise is definitely there, but more subtle than other MTs I've owned in the past. I got close to 55,000 miles on my last set of open country MT's and when I traded in my truck they still had about 20% treadlife left.


JOEL, Truck looks awesome man!

What exactly is a 1/4 inch spacer? Is it just a 1/4 inch washer placed on each stud to push the wheel out a 1/4 inch?

A 1/4" spacer is a machined to fit spacer 1/4" thick.

I knew you knew that...

I just mounted pro comp xtreme at2 35x12.5x18 on a 0 offset rim. I have a 2.5" level and its 4x4 they had to do some plastic trimming but they fit perfect with only rub when the wheel is turned all the way and going over bumps. Stock rims are +44 off set.
