Top Fitment Configurations
Here is how different tire sizes fit based on your suspension level and wheel offset. These setups stack cleanly on mobile and span horizontally on desktop for easy scanning:
Recommended Fitment Setups
Stock Setup
With a stock setup, the recommended wheel configuration is 18x8 +60 paired with 275/65R18. Stock offset is +60mm - very tucked. Moving to 0mm offset significantly improves stance. 5x150 bolt pattern
Leveling Kit (2-3") Setup
With a leveling kit (2-3") setup, the recommended wheel configuration is 20x9 -12 to 0 paired with 295/60R20 or 33x12.5R20. Most popular leveling kit build; 295/60R20 on 20x9 is a clean no-rub setup
3" Lift Setup
With a 3" lift setup, the recommended wheel configuration is 20x9 -12 to 0 paired with 305/55R20 or 33x12.5R20. 3" lift + 305/55R20 is the most popular Tundra build; zero rubbing
6" Lift Setup
With a 6" lift setup, the recommended wheel configuration is 20x12 -44 paired with 35x12.5R20. 6" lift + 35x12.5R20 on 20x12 -44 = zero rubbing, very aggressive stance
Frequently Asked Fitment Questions
Click below to expand direct answers to the most common fitment queries for the Toyota Tundra Gen 2:
What is the bolt pattern and center bore for the Gen 2 Tundra?
The Toyota Tundra Gen 2 (2007-2021) utilizes a 5x150 bolt pattern and a 110mm center bore. Ensure your aftermarket wheels are hub-centric or use high-quality hub-centric rings.
Can I run 33-inch tires on stock suspension?
Yes, but it requires highly specific offset wheels (generally around stock offset) and minor trimming of the fender liner to clear full steering lock.
What is the factory offset and how does it affect rubbing?
The factory wheel offset is +60mm. Moving to a lower or negative offset wheel pushes the tire outward. While this creates a aggressive wide stance, it increases the scrub radius, which can cause tires to rub the rear of the fender liner and the body mount.
