Huge Rear Axle On My TRD Off-Road Trim - 9.5" Upgrade | 4th Gen Tacoma Forum

I put on 285/75r18 Yokohama Geolandars on 18x8 American Outlaw Wheels. I was not too sure how the American Outlaw Wheels would look on the 4th Gen but I think they turned out perfect! I am running the Westcott Designs leveling kit to clear the 285/75 tires and they clear perfectly. It raised the rear 2.5" and the front .75". The wheels are +25mm offset and they don't poke out past the fender much at all. If you are not wanting the stance to be super wide I would recommend doing +25mm offset. The Yokohama's are perfect for daily driving and off-roading. They were perfect down on the beach and in the mountains. I have never had Yokohama's before and I really like them so far.

For those wondering, Toyota did give us a lot of what we asked for in this new truck. One crazy important feature, the 9.5" rear axle. This axle is nearly as big as a Dana 60, only .25" smaller. Naturally, they are super strong. You could technically run a 40" tire with relatively little issues. My plan is to run 37s bare minimum in the next few months, and 40s only if I decide to throw it on portals. But I'm beyond stoked on the beefier rear end. Hopefully the front can keep up! The 3rd Gen had a max size of 8.75". While still a good size, these new ones are much better.
