TRX Aftermarket Wheel and Tire pics! [size/offset]

Good to know. I have them sitting in my garage waiting for truck and was wondering the weight difference myself.

I would be interested in seeing them on a scale. 25-26 sounds too good to be true!

Oh- also- what color is your truck and what finish did you g o with? If I got them I am up in the air between satin and gloss black. Have a granite paint on the rex.

Reached out to them today to attempt to answer my own question since couldnt find on the net after searching. They say 25-26 pounds per their email to me today. That seems crazy light for a 20x9.5”.

They’re 34/35 lbs each.

 

[22’TRX]

They’re 34/35 lbs each.

That makes way more sense for a hybrid forged. Too bad they misrepresented that to me by 30%, I was ready to buy but not anymore.

Love the look. Great choice!

Billet Silver and went with the satin black. A few guys on here have same setup.

Yeah dont think so for a cast vossen wheel, min 30lbs and up.

Wow, I had no idea so many people like gold wheels, till I saw this thread.

My Dad had gold Enkei's on his bright red 240Z, and I thought it looked stupid... But I really like some of these on the trucks!

@Nitro , just a sugggestion but maybe you could make a sticky thread for the wheels and tires section where people can post pics of their trucks with various brands and sizes of wheels and tires that they have installed on their TRX. Request that people post the size, brand, and specifications of both the tires and wheels they are running. There is a similar thread on a square body forum I'm on, and it's a great reference for people to use when they want to get a visualization of how their truck might look with different wheels and tires.

Here is my contribution:

Tires: 37x13.50r20 Toyo Open Country MT
Wheels: Fuel "Rebel" 20x9 with +20mm offset
Suspension Modifications: None
Trimming required: None

what would a +12 offset do? would it move the tire out 7mm or in 7mm based on the factory stock offset of +19mm? and being less than a third of a inch difference do you think this would cause any rubbing? The list below is what I want to put on my new TRX, thanks

Since asking the above questions and doing much more research I have decided to use the following levering kit. I believe with the tire and wheel set up listed above and this kit it will work and look awesome!

It will move the wheels outward from stock. With a 37x13.50 and stock suspension it will potentially rub, but maybe not very much.

I`m really new at this stuff, forgive my ignorance, BR list the Back Spacing / 5.470 on this rim. Is it possible to put less Back Spacing in moving the rim back in to a 19mm offset? Or is the Back Spacing built into the wheel itself? Thanks again for your time.

Wheel manufacturers often have different back spacing options in the same style wheel. It just depends on whether they offer it in the correct offset in the wheel you want.

What is the stock wheel Back Spacing? Thanks

What is the stock wheel Back Spacing? Thanks

18x9, 6x139.7 bolt pattern (also known as 6x5.5), +19 offset, 77.8 center bore, M14x1.5 lug nuts.

One other thing to keep in mind is backspacing takes into account the width of the wheel. Offset only tells you how far the mounting surface of the wheels is from the center of the wheel.

For instance, +0 offset is in the middle of a wheel. +19 offset means the mounting surface is 19mm towards the outside of the wheel (from center), thus moving more of the wheel inboard. If the offset was -19 then it would move more of the wheel towards the outside of the truck.

Since backspacing takes into consideration the width of the wheel, it only tells you how much of the wheel is inboard or outboard from center. On a 9" wide wheel with +0 offset you have 4.5" of backspacing. On a 10" wide wheel with +0 offset it would leave 5" of backspacing. When you start to change the offset it will start to change the backspacing, but you still have to figure in the width of the wheel. There are several calculators online that do the math for you if you want to look at options.

Generally speaking, this is what I have found:

+18 to +20 offset on a 9" wide wheel you can run 37" tires with no suspension mods.

-12 offset on a 9" wide wheel will require a level kit to prevent rubbing with a 37" tire(and it may still rub a touch depending on your tire choice).

Any offset between those two options will allow some compromise between tire height, width, and need for suspension modifications. Again, tire choice can impact the results since not all tires are the same height and width in a given spec.

If you want to run 35" tires, you can start to push the offset further negative than -12 (more wheel sticking out from the fender). I don't have any exact numbers, but I think some guys are running -18 and even more with 35s without rubbing.

Horrible pics due to the weather but here are the new wheels/tires on my TRX. These are Weld Ledge 6’s in 20x10 with a +13 offset. I intentionally wanted to keep the tires slightly tucked in the fenders like stock to reduce the crap being tossed up the sides of the truck. The tires are 37 x 13.5-20’s.

I have the smallest amount of rub on the drivers side when full lock to the left even with the Rogue leveling kit installed. I only have the perch spacers installed not the top spacers.

I was able to heat the bottom of the wheel well liner and form that out of the way but at full lock it is still just touching the very inside screw head for my mudflaps. Might leave them off, or try a flat head screw for the flaps, etc. until Geiser releases their spring set which sounds like it will lift it a bit more and hopefully clear.

Do you think 12.50’s would fit better or finish the leveling kit?

Do you need to level with an aftermarket bumper like ADD pro bolt on or bomber

Coming soon……woot!

If you are running 37s then the same info applies even with the ADD bumpers. Only thing that changes is there is no trimming on the front inner bumper since there is clearance there. The rear of the wheelwell will be the issue.

Too bright for good pics but got them on now, one of kind, for now…..
