Too much poke

I just installed Toyo at3, 275 70 18.

I feel like I’m getting too much tire poke with this set up.

Wheels are Icon rebounds.

It’s not the top part of the tread that sticking out is the sidewall. Is this what I should expect with the set up? What are my other options to keep almost the same size tire but a thinner tire?

 

This is coming from someone who doesn’t care for tire poke at all and I find your set up perfect as long as there’s no rubbing .

 

Thanks!

I’m coming from bone stock and a few of these changes are throwing me off since I’ve been sitting stock for three years since I bought it.

I removed front mudflaps and no more rubbing anywhere.

I feel like most people on here who are lifted are going with 285 not 275 but 275 seems wider in my case, somehow

 

I honestly think yours looks perfect just the way it is but it’s your truck so you have to be happy with it .

 

Yes, that is what a 18x9 with 275/70 looks like. If you went to a 295 the sidewall bulge would be less noticeable but the tread poke would be much more noticeable.

 

but the 295 would be taller, correct?

 

Yes, and would rub with that wheel offset without more adjustments, and would be heavier. I liked the 275/70 on 18x9 +25 once I got used to it. Good balance of fuel economy, tire size increase and looks.

 

I don’t hate it but I was hoping for taller and skinnier so I guess I screwed up. I might just get rid of the wheels and get something else

 

I agree about the fuel economy, I’ve been pleased with that too

 

I think some have done 285/75/18 on that size wheel without much issue, that is 35" "skinny" tire. I am going to try that next. You can fit 295/70 on the OEM wheels if you just want a beefier and larger looking tire.

 

I know for sure I don’t wanna make more changes in terms of cutting or chopping and stuff like that. Removing the front mudflaps was all I really wanted to do so I think the size needs to stay where it is from what I can tell from reading other posts on this topic

 

In terms of the tire itself I’m very happy with the performance so far it rides quiet and doesn’t look too overly aggressive so I’m pleased with the tire overall. I’ve always run Toyo on my 4runners and they did really well

 

Details on how to bang a nugget so that I may start living life, plz.

 

Looks Good!!!

 

thank you sir

 

forgot to mention I installed the TRD Pro fox shocks yesterday. that helps the look imo

 

Looks great!

 

Looks just fine to me!

 

thanks!

 

hopefully it grows on me

 

Perhaps this hieroglyph can unlock the secrets of living such a fulfilling life.

 

I have a similar set up and love it

 

yours is looking sharp

 

THANKS !

 

Looks too narrow to me, I wouldn’t wanna spend $2k on wheels and tires and have stock narrow stance. 0 offset ftw!

 

it was $3K on wheels/tires

 

I see no poke

 

Looks perfect !

 

Too much poke on passenger rear

 

The easiest way to reduce the poke is going to be a higher offset wheel. IIRC those are a +25mm offset, and that is putting them really close to flush with the fender IMO. Any tire properly mounted is going to bulge out a bit to help protect the wheel a bit as well.

I think the poke is exaggerated by the inward swoop of the lower body lines on the truck. Look at it straight down from above and it's not a ton of poke.
