Unreal content rony. I'm from Perth myself living overseas now for work and just built my hilux also. Your videos just get better each time. Keep em coming
If it wasn't for this channel I'd probably be both in the dog house and in debt. Thank you from America, just bought a 21 Chevy Colorado 4x4. Wasn't sure what to do at first you have helped so much
i have a set 18' ROH Vapour with Maxxis Razor AT 811 on new Hilux SR5. No scrubbing, but less sidewall to play with when deflated. took her for a borp through the sand dunes last night and she had no worries. love the show mate.
I bought a set of the Maxxis RAZR AT811s. Done almost 2000km over tarmac, rock and gravel - these tyres are brilliant. Yet to try in mud but I’m confident these will be good. Surprisingly quiet, grippy, improved ride and feel safe in the wet.
Hey Ronny thanks mate for the video I been waiting for this one. I needed an expert like yourself to get me set up without me messing up and regretting. you rock brother ❤️ from 🇿🇦
Tyres and wheels were my first mods to my dual cab (went 16inch steels and 31.5inch ATs), fortunately had no rubbing. Gotta give credit to this channel for being confident about where to spend the limited funds for where it is most needed. Thanks!
SUPERB !!! I am getting a new Hilux and obessing about tire size - definitely best video I have seen on tires for Hilux on the Internet. Huge thank-you. Professional video well done.
Ronny the guy who install your new tires really know his job well, all new tires have a colored round mark somewhere in the sidewall this dot indicates the spot where the skeleton of the tire merges together, this spot is the heavyest of the tire and need to be placed exaclly in the valve of the rim in order to have the best possible allighnment, if you froze the video on 3:56 you'll see that they have put the yellow dot correctlly next to the valve, it's something that most tire shops don't know and of course many owners too. You can see this mark also in the spare tire you're holding which was instoled from the factory but instead of yellow dot it has a red dot 4:05
I have been saving for a Hilux SR5 for 12 months. Currently driving a Toyota Corolla 😬. If In the next 12 months, I make as much progress with savings and investing as I have in the last 12 months - will be able to buy one brand new. Watching all of these videos so I know what I’m doing when I walk into the dealership.
Rodney! Keep a 31.5 265 75 R16 you can absolutely tackle anything with a rear locker and winch with this set! I think it's pretty underrated! Remember that you still have to drive to your destination and 33 on a dual cab is slow and pain to fit!
@@initialhaven2414 what did you end up doing? the new 2022 hilux’s come with 18inch rims so i’ll have to go to 17inch on 31.5’s, just seeing how they go with no lift
Hey Ronny, another great video, I know its a late comment, but did a binge watch rerun of this, as first time I watched I was a little tipsy lol. Anyway, i'm an Aussie living in the USA have been watching for yonks. I have a Jeep (I Know!) you made some really great points on the tyres... Everything is a compromise. I have found for someone who is 50/50 driving that the Goodyear Duratrac have been outstanding for me on Wear, Noise and Durability. Awesome Luxy (Taco) build, if only the Yanks would get their crap together and get some diesel options into this country the so called Big 3 (Ford, GM, Ram) would have their work cutout for them... Cheers Wes.
Love the vid Ronny! I have a very similar set up to you, 2018 Toyota Tacoma no lift, I kept the stock 16 inch wheels, and I fit 285/75/R16 Falken all-terrains. I love them they don't rub except for the mud flaps, can't wait to see part 2! Cheers from Vancouver Canada!
Hey Ronnie, thanks for weighing the wheels. Every little bit counts, and some things get overlooked. Next time I get to a town I am going to weigh my ute as it is near finished accessorising - tub slide, canopy, dual wheel carrier, extra battery, oven, slide out kitchen, 6 X AT tyres, fridges etc. It will be interesting to see how many kgs leftover if I want to tow something one day !
Yep the "surplus weight" question- "Do I still have 200kg for Tongue load available?" - many forget to ask themselves, or will a 3000kg trailer put me 800kg over GCM? (BTW a standard 4x4 ute with 1000kg onboard drives like a slug, at 3000kg loaded - they are really not fun any more (unless you really enjoy queue's).
Hi Ronny! I am watching you from Romania, Europe and I am glad that you have decided to make the video series about Hilux. I am very helpful considering that I want to start a similar project. For now I have an awd car and I try with my girls light terrain. Thanks for the video and inspiration.
Pro tip, I can go 33"s on my Tacoma with no lift and no cab mount chop if I go skinnies. Depending on how wide of tires you play with, you might be able to go above 31.5"s, but I also realize you like your wider tires :). Worth mentioning as I realize there may be others watching this with Tacoma's and the Tacoma is pretty similar to the Hilux the closer I look(I have a lot more looking to do too).
As always enjoyed your videos. Advice that is simple and straight to the point. Looking forward to the series as I have a Hilux that is just waiting to be upgraded.
Ronny could you do a series on how to overland Subarus? I know there are heaps of other dudes doing the same on Subarus, but I like your dumbed down approach for dummies like me and it's really helpful, especially for us in Oz where our environment I'd quite unique
'Nice combo Ronny, changes the look for the better. I was on a budget so I stuck with the 18's, and fitted BFG AT's in 265/65/18. No rubbing yet but it is very close. I nearly took the leap with Mickey T's in the Deacon range, as we have got awesome mileage out of them at work. But BFG's have never let me down, been on all my trucks since 1998 and still have plenty of confidence in them. The Maxxis look mean though mate, happy wheeling.
I left the standard rims on when I upgraded to 31.5" AT tyres, 15" or 16". I consider anything above 16" too big. The tyre did not rub and I also upgraded to 2" OME suspension, the best ride ever.
Very few 16" rims will clear the front brakes on a current model Hilux, so 17" is about as small as you can go unless you want to test fit a bunch of rims for clearance. The standard rims are 18".
A good pointer could be that it “can”throw your kms out of calibration and also will make you believe your using more fuel than you actually are, leaving your hilux to tell you incorrect kms range
265/65's actually adjusted the speedo to dead on, GPS verified. Jury is still out on the fuel usage with the bigger tyres. I think there maybe an inaccuracy with the fuel use computer...
Excited to see you using these tires! I recently saw these, and have been thinking I want to set for my 4Runner, but I haven't been able to find anything about them or read about anyone running them( not just here in the US, but really anywhere). Looking forward to seeing more reports on these as how they do.
Hello Ronny I love your videos and also the Hilux Planning to do my own build. Can u recommend me stores to buy the parts outside Australia. (Europe preferred)
Hi, enjoyed your tires and wheels segment. But can you explain why you chose that particular offset for those tyres. Understand the difference between positive and negative offset, but how do you calculate the exact offset your require for the Hilux? This bit was skipped over......
I ended up going with the LT 285 70R17 KO2's on my 2020 Ranger, and the 3" level on the front. Doesn't rub the mud flaps, but just a bit, touches the front crash bar! And yes, my speed is now 6KM/H faster. I've been asking around, but the Ford dealers can't adjust it with their computers. Only can be changed through aftermarket software!
I know you dislike them but i am loving the Pirelli Scorpion AT Plus tyres. Very capable off road and quite on road. Anyway those rims look amazing, as always, good video.
@@Ronny_Dahl Fair enough, you would have put them through more than I have, if they fail me when I start hitting harder tracks I'll look into the Tyres you just put on the Hilux
Ronny did you end up putting the mud flap back on? And also how did you modify the splash guard, about to put exactly the same tire size and rims on my new hilux 😁
Nice looking truck already even without lifting it. What is the next smaller tire you can put in that? That it won't rub on the mud guard. Thank you very much.
It would have been nice to show how you modified your inner guards to avoid scrubbing. It would also be appreciated if you actually responded to comments.
Hi Buddy Trust you are well. What’s the best rim & tyre size for the 2024 Hilux GR in terms of road performance? Vehicle hardly does off road stuff. Please advice.
Hi Ronny! Just wanna asked you, I bought a new 2021 hilux sr5 but I wanna change the rims, but the rims that I want has 0 offset. The tyres that I bought are 265/65r17. My question is, if I put the tyres 265/65r17 and the rims that I like which is 0 offset would They rub on the mudflaps and the front bumper? p.s the hilux is still at stock ride height. Thanks ronny! 👍🏼👍🏼
Hey Ronnie. Wondering if you're still running the Razor At and what you think of them if you are. Thanks for the content too. Learnt so much overnthe years.
Good stuff mate, I’m down in Margs and have a Colorado lsx 2020 and I’m looking to change to tyres and rims , but not a lot of info out there. The hi Lux looks good
Awesome video. What did you do to your mud guards to stop the scrubbing? I’m facing the same issue and I’m running +1 offset Fuel rims w/ 265-60-18 Toyo Open Country AT3

Very nice and, I think, thourough, explanation of tyre choices. As any farmer also would tell you, yes radials make for a far better footprint in the loose stuff, but lacks the durability of the diagonal tyre´s sidewalls. However, it is very noticeable on farm equipment that the build of the tyre makes high speed travels a lot bumpier. Do you notice this with car tires as well? It´s especially notiaceable if you leave a loaded trailer over night (quite often 12-14ply) overnight, the tyres will make a perfect impression of an egg the next day. Love your roll bar, that´s the sexiest part so far :)

what height of the lift will need to be done in order not to remove the mudguard?
These wheels and tires make it look so much tougher already
Hi, why did you chose to use a +10 offset? Instead of aggressive negative offsets? Hope u can answer ne...
Hey Ronnie nice video! Will want to see Luxy in person at the perth 4wd show. Where's the prado review that you made a few weeks back?
What about upper control arms touching when off road?

Hi Rony, great videos by the way
Do you think a +15 or a +20 offset will be better for less rubbing?

What offset did you end up going with..?
I did with offset +30 and still rubbing
Good stuff mate, I’m down in Margs and have a Colorado lsx 2020 and I’m looking to change to tyres and rims , but not a lot of info out there. The hi Lux looks good
Never menthioned the width of the wheel rim.

hey mate
that's the standard size you got and your rubbing ?
is it because of the offset
Just bought the mans version of the SR5 the SR didn't want the SR5 (ladies version) because the SR already come with 17 inch steelies, easier to clean (no carpet) plus chrome is for Toranas and Falcons.

Hi Ronny, one question, why don't you use the beadlock system (rims)? Regards from Chile
Hi Ronny great video. What’s the bolt pattern on the 17” wheels? And are the AT tyres size 285 70 R 17?
Good job. Keep pressing on.
Very nice and, I think, thourough, explanation of tyre choices. As any farmer also would tell you, yes radials make for a far better footprint in the loose stuff, but lacks the durability of the diagonal tyre´s sidewalls. However, it is very noticeable on farm equipment that the build of the tyre makes high speed travels a lot bumpier. Do you notice this with car tires as well? It´s especially notiaceable if you leave a loaded trailer over night (quite often 12-14ply) overnight, the tyres will make a perfect impression of an egg the next day. Love your roll bar, that´s the sexiest part so far :)
