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

What are everyone's thoughts on the cloth seats? I ended up with cloth in mine, and honestly I’m kind of glad. With the dog, I feel like all those little holes in SofTex would be impossible to keep clean. One muddy paw, and I feel like I would be scrubbing forever. I threw seat covers on mine right away anyways (Rough Country neoprene right now), mostly because of dirt and camp smoke. So, part of me thinks even if I had SofTex, I’d just keep it covered the whole time since I would be too scared to ruin them. Has anyone else gone back and forth on this? Do you regret getting cloth or SofTex? I’ve been eyeing those custom-fit leather covers that look OEM- seems like it might be the best of both worlds. I will do a full review between the two later on, they definitely have their own pros/cons.

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!
