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

[Smoke king]

To be fair, I only had the 35s on it for about 40 miles. The 37s were bolted up the next morning, so I didn't have a whole lot of time to compare. I can't say that there was any noticeable difference. You certainly don't need to swap gears to compensate. It's got plenty of get up and go. The new 8 and 10 speed transmissions in these trucks these days go a long way to compensate for moderate increases in tire size. One bump up isn't going to put much strain on performance numbers.

I used your tire and rim numbers on my new rims I'll have on in a few days! They look really good and I'm excited to see how the ride is and see what they look like pictures will be up in a few daysThanks for the information

You bet! Looking forward to seeing it. I should be bolting up some Fuel Zephyr's in red with 37" Toyo MTs in the next couple of days to a friend's TRX. I'll post pics once it's done.

Looks great. What size tires?

I went with the Fuel covert and nitto grappler ridge! I wanted the toyo but they didn't have any in stock I would have had to wait awhile and I'm impatient

Hopefully so! On a side note, how do you like those Baja Boss tires on your 2500? I like the tread pattern of them, but I used to run their MTZ and they got pretty noisy after about 5-7,000 miles. Curious if the Baja Boss is any better.

Honestly noise has never bothered me so I dont even listen for it. I think they are one of the best tires ive ever ran. And I cant think of a brand I havent had. And the look sick. I wanted to put them on the TRX but the only make 37x1250r20

What are the specs on this setup

I wanted my buddy to get the Covert in red, but they were backordered as well. Being impatient we went with the Zephyr. I like the Covert!

I can't wait to see how they look on the truck they should be here Saturday

Mine went D1 today!

I just confirmed that the Fuel Vapor 18x9 with a 19 mm offset does not clear the brakes so beware. I just ordered the same wheel in a 20x9 with a 19 mm offset and 37-12.50R20 Falken WildPeak A/T3W's. Anybody looking to buy my factory rims and tires with less than 100 miles on them?

Post some pics when you can and let me know if it rubs

Thanks for posting that. The 18" Fuels must be thicker than the stock wheels since they are cast. I assume the factory wheels are forged?

It shouldn't since I managed to fit 20x9 Fuels with the same offset and a 37x13.50 Toyo MT.

I'll mock up the 18x9 Fuel Shok in a couple of days to check clearance. However I got the one with 0 offset, so I don't anticipate any clearance issues.

I have a question for wheel experts.

I'm going to have to use a hub centric ring, I can go plastic/composite or the aluminum ones I ordered.

My sense is since the truck is going to do hard off-road duty the aluminum is better for durability, but the wheels are steel but not stainless, I assume so is the hub, so I'm wondering if an aluminum oreo between steel is going to cause any corrosion issues.

Any thoughts on this?

I am confused (as usual) but why are you running a hub centric ring?

Fuel (and other brand wheels) for some reason don't have them available with the RAM hub bore. The hub is smaller on the RAM so you need something to fill the space so the load is transferred properly. The rings do that, otherwise the truck will vibrate and other terrible things will happen. I'm sure with the popularity of the TRX they will in time make them with the correct bore, but until then you have to use rings instead.

 

[soulsea]

Here's little show and tell.

This is the back of the Fuel wheel with a 106.1 hub bore, which is the only one available for the wheel size I need.

However the hub bore for our trucks is a much narrower 77.8, so you need the ring to fill the gap, and the aluminum one looks like this:

You just slide it into the wheel before putting them on and the wheel sits perfectly in the hub:

By doing this all the load is transferred directly from the wheel to the hub. If you didn't do this all the load would be on the lugs holding the wheels in place in every direction.

Make sense?

Thanks for again edifying me. And what size is that wheel if I can be so bold to inquire?
