The max tire size you can run will vary depending on the offset of the wheels you chose. I believe with the offset of the TRD wheels you can run close to a 33 inch tire with no lift and no problems. A lot of your limitation will depend on the width of the tire potentially rubbing on the upper control arm at the ball joint.

If I had the choice between the two, I'd go with the bronze. I think they would set-off nice on a white GX.

I'm partial to FN wheels, since I have them, but I think the only way to go (in my opinion of course) is to go up a size and use 18's.

Whatever you decide on, post a picture of the final product so that I can see. Because I'm also considering new wheels.

This looks good, but not as good as how the GX looks with FN wheels. Look up pics of BlackCat's car. His ride looks amazing with those wheels.

285/60/18 Nitto Terra Grapplers. They rubbed a bit but a small amount of trimming took care of it.

I like the TRD wheels.... seriously contemplated getting them on my silver GX before deciding on Method. By the way, TRD wheels are 7" wide, not 8.5". Lots of Toyota people have complained but many have mounted 285's without any issues.


Quick Reply: Which wheel do u think looks better on a White Gx??
