- 2023 TRD Off Road SR5 4X4
One of the first mods that truly changes the presence and capability of your 3rd Gen Tundra is the wheel setup. Whether you’re building out for overland, daily driving, or trail duty, the right wheels make all the difference. I’ve personally run the Method MR312 Double Black 17x8.5 0 offset (and still love them), but I’ve done tons of research on other wheel options that are making waves in the Tundra community.
Here are some of the top choices out there for anyone looking to upgrade:
Method Race Wheels (MR701, MR305, MR316)
Method has become a go-to brand for Toyota owners, and for good reason. Besides my current MR312s, their MR701 with Bead Grip® is a great option if you want a more subtle, rugged look with maximum off-road functionality. The MR305 NV gives off that classic Baja-style beadlock vibe, while the MR316 adds a more aggressive, split-spoke design for a modern off-road aesthetic. All are durable, lightweight, and trail-ready.
Relations Race Wheels (RR7-H, RR6-H)
If you’re looking to support a brand that’s up and coming with bold designs, RRW offers hybrid beadlock wheels that stand out. The RR7-H has a solid, beefy appearance and comes in a variety of finishes—perfect for matching different build themes. They’re load-rated for off-road abuse and also fit wide tires easily with common offsets like -12 and 0.
Innov8 Racing Wheels
If you’re going all-in on quality and U.S.-made craftsmanship, Innov8 wheels are elite. Forged, lightweight, and insanely strong, these wheels are pricey but worth every penny for serious off-roaders. The G500 or G400 series gives your Tundra that full-blown tactical off-road look. Perfect for those who run heavier setups or spend long days on rugged trails.
Fuel Off-Road (Zephyr, Rebel, D694)
For a more aggressive, flashy look, Fuel wheels offer bold styling and a wide variety of offsets, colors, and spoke patterns. The Zephyr and Rebel are two standout models, especially for lifted Tundras. These are more for show-meets-function, but still tough enough to handle moderate off-road adventures.
Icon Alloys (Alpha, Rebound, Vector 6)
Icon knows suspension—and their wheels are built with the same off-road DNA. The Rebound and Vector 6 have great clearance and strength and pair well with long-travel or performance suspension kits. Their 0 and -6 offsets give a nice aggressive stance without overdoing it.
Things to Consider
At the end of the day, it all comes down to your goals—daily driver with attitude? Weekend wheeler? Full-time overlander? Your wheel choice should match your lifestyle and build direction.

Things to Consider
- Offset: 0 to -12 is the sweet spot for most aggressive Tundra builds. It gives you stance without rubbing (depending on tire size and lift).
- Size: 17x8.5 is ideal for off-roading and tire flex. 18s and 20s are better for street/daily but reduce sidewall.
- Finish: Matte black hides trail rash. Bronze, machined, and titanium finishes are becoming more popular for contrast builds.
At the end of the day, it all comes down to your goals—daily driver with attitude? Weekend wheeler? Full-time overlander? Your wheel choice should match your lifestyle and build direction.
