Fitting 17" Wheels On 4G - No Issues With Clearance! | 4th Gen Tacoma Forum

Right after getting back from the dealer and before I went on a 1,300 mile trip my tailgate started to malfunction. Every once in a while when I push the button to open it it'll get stuck and stay closed. I have to pull on it while pressing the button to open it once it happens. Pretty annoying but I did predict this would break just not at 6k miles lol. Anyone else having this problem. Fixes?

Hey everyone. I know wheels are a big topic that a lot of people look into upgrading. Personally, while the 18" wheel my OR had from factory didn't look bad, I like to see as much tire sidewall as possible. 17" wheels help here. The tires are also usually cheaper. No clearance issues at all. Plenty of caliper clearance. These are Lock Off-Road Combats if anyone is curious!
