xd monsters / rockstars

[theflowmaster]

i have a 02 tacoma with a toytech 3 inch lift on the way .. spacer in the front. im wondering if i will be able to fit an xd monster or rockstar wheel with 33 km2s? if anyone has this setup let me know thanks

[NorcalPR]

What size? 20's?

[TexasChaos]

I was thinking 295/30/22

[sooner02r1]

Should fit just fine. Won't be the best for offroading, and I'll warn you people are gonna flip their lid on here when they see you want 22s. But it's your ride and your money. They should fit with some trimming.

[boggyboy]

not good for offroading no way they will be perfect!

[theflowmaster]

haha nice picture
but i was thinking more along the lines of an 18 inch wheel with 4.5 backspacing
i dont have alot of trails here its mostly mud and sand dunes

[hrtbrk1]

Can we persuade you otherwise?? like a stealy or something with less "bling"

[theflowmaster]

o hell yea i havent made up my mind they just caught my eye and i like how they look plus i dont do a whole lot of offroading just the ocassional run

I hope you have a good suit.....In my peronsal feelings, I have not been a member long enough to start busting people's balls...I wish you good luck, cus this could ugly

[PuckerFactor]

[theflowmaster]

yea what ever i dont really give a fuck what people say ... its not fully my truck yet. but when it is trust me il do alot more to it but for now i guess some bling bling cant help get the ladies

[hrtbrk1]

I 'm not gonna flame you im just sayin that those blingy rims arent really very practical for off road use but its your truck and you decide cause you know what your gonna do about it. But if i was me, i'd get somethin more rugged

If you have to rely on 'bling bling' to help get the ladies. You should probably quit trying while you're still ahead.

Oh yeah? Where? Point them out...they haven't been flamed enough.

So look, being polite and blunt, this is why you're never going to get a good response on this forum regarding big rims, bling, chrome, low profile tires, blooie tubes, or anything similar...the whistles do not go WOOO WOOO here...see:

Toyota
Territory
OFF
ROAD
Association

Because those rims are completely inappropriate for offroad use. Not to say they won't work...I've seen 35x12.5R20 work better than my 35x12.5R16 (soft aggressive tread vs hardened & worn A/T)...but the setup had its downsides...limited capability to air down, smaller footprint at low pressure than a comparable tire with a smaller rim, harsh ride at speed over terrain, greater chance of losing a bead at low pressure, diminished capability to conform to terrain, and increased chance of damaging the rim (cosmetically or critically) due to proximity to the ground and lack of a protective sidewall bulge.

If none of those issues require consideration, and you're fuck-all about how everyone feels about it, then why are you posting here? There are other online forums dedicated to how your truck looks. You'll get a lot of petting, praise, attaboys, and e-sucking on those forums over whatever rim job you decide on (and a lot of comments about how we on TTORA are a bunch of big meany meanbots). Here, you'll just get a lot of grief.

Hence the reason we flame...

If you don't want anyone to flame you when you're asking a question like which rim fits and looks good at the mall, head over to Custom Tacos.

[vvcrow]

if you have 4wd and manual hubs.... rockstars wont fit.

[wunbigtacoma]

everybody get your roll on,everybody,everybody get your roll on......what...lol

[theflowmaster]

dont have locking hubs... does anyhave any other suggestions on some good wheels?

[BoostedRunner87]

"good wheels" is going to depend on what you want to use them for! be specific on what exactly you would like to do with your truck and then we can help give suggestions on what would work good for you.

don't sweat it dude, everyone on here always busts balls but i'm the same as you, my truck will get me through the trails at the lake, but 95% of the time it gets me to work :P

with 18" rockstars with 325's on em

[devinsixtyseven]

...That looks like some epic drop bracket action there.

Flow, you asked for an opinion, you got an opinion...most people here are gonna say the same thing, if you're running wheels larger than 17", you are either running a massive tire or you're talking about your tow rig. If you want offroad equipment, get offroad equipment...Rockstars are marketed to the mall crowd.

If you want a set, get them. Just be aware that they will only suffice for mild to moderate (at most) offroad work, and you risk tearing up the finish on an expensive rim every time you take them off the pavement.

Your best option is to get a set of wheels and tires that looks nice and is appropriate for commuting...any size you like, get what looks good to you...like these wheels, for example...and then invest in a set of less expensive, more durable wheels, and significantly more aggressive tires...that way you can swap before trail day, so you're not wasting soft aggressive tires on pavement, or trying to push light duty low-pros down the trail.

thats just how i am somthing that will get me to work and school while looking good. but can also go through the trail or mud. how do you like those terra grapplers?

[NAYLOR]

Since you're going to school, save your money for beer. Get some semi-aggressive tires and call it a day. If you notice, that orange truck has a lot more than 3 inches of lift. No offence, but your truck will look gay with those big wheels and some 32's.
