Wheels and tire setup and why

[Phil O]

35’ Ridge grapplers, on 20’s. Love them. Super quiet and comfortable. I dont do any hardcore offroading, just normal stuff. So far they’ve been great.

Stock beadlock wheels and KO2s on my 19. I did opt for a set of 18 beadlocks cause I like the black and not a fan of spokes. I do==found it important to keep the stock wheel/tire setup for jumps/rubbing/performance...etc...etc. For some reason all the aftermarket guys like to push the wheels out further and I don't get why that is. Why can't we have forged awesome stock offset/backspace wheels for our trucks?

Oh yeah. I’m not sure about my venomrex 602’s but I don’t think they stick out any further than my stock Raptor rims did. Also, one thing that sold me on them was that with them being flow forged they were 10 lbs lighter each.

Fifteen52 Traverse HD with stock BF Goodrich ko2. I switched wheels because all of the trim, fenders, etc is black and I didn’t like the wheels being grey.

Any thoughts how much more noise the KM3s make than the KO2s?

I had the KM3’s in 33” tires on 16” method wheels and was on a 2019 Tacoma. With that said, honestly, I couldn’t really tell much road noise from those tires. I’m sure they may be slightly louder but with technology today and how sound tight newer cabins are on vehicles I’m sure it won’t be a nuisance.
