Agreed, but I have noticed you can't even buy 'alloy wheel nuts' any more, it seems all nuts/alloys are compatible. I have noticed my caravan wheel nuts were the same when I changed the steel wheels for alloy. It appears the old style alloys had wheel nuts with an extended sleeve to go through the thicker alloy hub, but modern alloys have a steel washer inserted into the hole and a 60degree tapered seat just as steel wheels have. That's probably why the 'old' alloy wheel nuts are no longer used on modern style alloys. I would expect that manufacturers have used longer studs to allow for alloy/steel wheel options. Just my observations, no significant evidence to support my theory. :?

Cheers Gipsy :D although I'm sure somebody will challenge that :lol: even Einstein wasn't certain of his theories.

I wouldn't worry too much, have you seen those jeeps with monster truck tyres? Seems the authorities are focussed on other things lately.
You will notice a little more tyre noise but you made the best choice, did you compare the tread and width with other brands? The tread depth on Toyo is a good 3mm deeper and much wider, and full sidewall plies. How much did you pay?

(2020 SR5) I have Dynamic 16” +0 offset with 265/70 AT’s. They rub on the back of the wheel arch where the mudguards sit on occasion. It isn’t too bad but the noise when it does is shuddering.

My question is will a set of 16” with a factory offset +30, same still cause rubbing? I initially wanted 265/75
