TRD Pro: 35s on OEM TRD Pro wheels

[johnnyplaydrums]

That price on the Amazon page is way over the MSRP of $245. and the Toyota parts dealers mark things down a lot - but there will be a shipping fee (which I guess you can avoid with Amazon Prime but still not worth it at that price). I suggest googling the TRD Pro Wheel part number (PT946-35240-2F) and checking shipping costs from the various sources. All the dealer-affiliated Toyota parts outlets you can find on the web seem to use the same software and they give you a chance to insert your zip code and calculate shipping before you put in your credit card.
FWIW I got 4 TRD Pro wheels from Nucar in Mass. for $884,75 including shipping - to northern VA.

Makes sense and good call I see a bunch of options from dealers that are cheaper. One more question - I kind of want to get 5 of these and 5 of the falken tires, so I can have a fully matching spare. I don't know if that's overkill but if I'm in the mountains in the winter and I get a flat, it'd be ideal to replace with the exact same tire and not have to worry. Unnecessary or good idea?

Probably a good idea. The question is if the tire will fit in the spare slot. TL/DR: It will if stock size for 18" wheels.

I decided to keep the OEM 265/70R18 wheel and tire as spare and treat it like a donut spare - drive slowly and get the bigger tire fixed right away. (I put Toyo LT285/70R18s (33.7") on that I think will not fit without removing the brackets designed to hold the spare in place.)
If you are going with the Falken Wildpeak 265/70R18 A/T4W as I think you said above, there should be no issue with fitting it in the spare spot. These are the same size as the stock TRD Pro Toyos (& TRD OR Falkens or Michelins) - but even if you go to the LT/E-load variant Falkens at 33" I think they will probably fit (snugly).
Also, now that I've looked back and see you want to put this on Platinum... I don't think it will be an issue putting the 265s on, but I will note that the 285s I put on my TRD ORP had rear wheel rub on fender at full articulation up - and for that reason I moved the big tires onto the TRD Flat Black option wheels that have +45 offset (vs +20 on the Pros). Assuming the Platinum fenders are same size as TRD OR (but painted:>), I THINK you will be OK with the +20 offset Pros, but if you want to be cautious you could choose the TRD Flat Black option wheel (PTR56-35242-F1) instead. It looks ALMOST as good as the TRD PRO wheel. Costs a bit more (I have no idea why).
Comparison below. Flat Black is unmounted wheel. 2 TRD PRO wheels w/ 285/80 Toyos. OEM wheels/tires on TRD ORP (those OEM wheels are now on my son's 5G4R with 265/70 Toyos.

So what you're saying here is that the TRD Pro wheels with a 285/70/18 diamater will rub at full articulation on a TRD ORP and that the TRD Option wheel shouldn't, correct?

Yes - I am saying that because it is what I experienced.
Back tire rubs on fender at full articulation with +20 offset wheel - I discovered this going over a boulder off-road.
I plan to check whether it clears with +45 offset wheel (It looks close). Need to figure out how to lift the tire assembly high enough - tentative plan is to put rear of truck up on jack stands and position a floor jack under one of the wheels to lift it until it clears the fender.... Not positive this will work so open to suggestions on how I can prove clearance.
Front tire rubs on crash plate in back and on felt and air dam screw tab in front. Removing air dam and crash plate it mostly clears but still some rub on felt at front with +20 wheel. None with +45 (I'm going to experiment with putting the crash plate back on, although I don't expect success there - but we will see since clearly there is improvement from +20 to +45.)

So to be clear: 285/70R18 on +45 offset on TRD OR: I THINK it will allow full rear articulation. I KNOW it improves rubbing on front - but expect still to need to keep crash plate off.

They do look good though: First one is TRD PRO wheels; second is TRD Flat Black option wheels (with OEM wheels with Toyo 265/70s on trailer to be mounted later that weekend on 5G4R)

The TRD PRO and TH have wider fenders to go with the +20 wheels so this is less of an issue - whether an issue with 285s on Pro I do not know, but I know its a different scenario. Suspension height plays here too. Your SR5 has less suspension height than my TRD OR so must keep that in mind as well (but I am almost certain the fender width is the same).
