Would love to see a full side profile photo.

Well I guess TSportline was wrong saying that rim HAS to be 20" to clear the brakes....

Looks great! No doubt performs better off road! It will definitely take a range hit and rub with the 10 degree rear wheel steering update. I will be upgrading to a more aggressive off road tires when the stock tires wear out but prefer narrow offroad "Pizza Cutter" tires as they have proven better rock crawling footprint over wider tires as well as less rolling resistance. I'm probably in the 1% of Cyber Truck Owners (waitlist) that actually intend on Overlanding OffRoad with my Truck. We need more actual Truck / Offroaders on this forum and less Urban EV Car Owners preaching their pious opinions. This is a Truck people!

Not much of a truck guy / off-roader eh ? Maybe model y is best for you ? Nice dry paved roads . No scary rocks or branches to puncture the frail factory sidewalls of them budget tires they come with .

what do you think the duel lockers are for (duel motor) ? Help get clicks on your YouTube “first impression video.”

by this logic, no truck (even gas ones) should have any sort of aggressive tire as they would all be affected by “efficiency” and supposedly form or function. And yet many people choose to install larger, more aggressive tires, so they can actually have fun or use the truck beyond the Starbucks drive-through. Probably beyond the scope of your imagination or experiences but it’s OK. It’s not your fault. How would you know?

Why you so mad? You should probably read this and understand that you are the outlier.

Not even statistically significant enough to make the stats cut: Offroading

Like the idiots that argue about how a sports car performs on a track or racing, but have never been on a race track let alone take their daily driver to one.

Cheers!

Can’t wait to see the first CT in the new King of the Hammers EV category, like this one using a Tesla Model S battery pack

Pretty cool but Method wheels are played out.

Fuel wheels are much cooler, here's a couple options I'm considering, 18" of course and they even could have less aero drag because the spokes are so closed up. I'll be going with BFG KO2s which are lightweight tires, so this combo should be lighter than stock as well.​

Keep in mind I'm going satin black PPF on my Beast

There's something poetic about putting Fuel wheels on an electric truck.

I didn't even think of that, even better ?

Wait wait wait .... 18s fit?! That great news! I'm assuming the offset was pretty much maxed out to fit that much of the 325s in the wheel well?

I’m a lifelong truck guy who, after seeing the Cybertruck in 2019 and preordering, decided to check out this Tesla company. I have since purchased a Model 3 and a Model Y.
I’m STILL A TRUCK GUY and this not only looks awesome but will dramatically improve the Cybertruck in mud/snow/rough terrain.
BTW, I had a set of BFG KM2 Mudders on a truck that lasted 80,000 miles!
probably will be my tire of choice when I get my CT.
Good for you!

Actually this will likely make it worse in snow specifically. With snow, a narrower tire so the weight is less distributed and pushes down through the snow will give better traction than a wider tire. So if snow is your aim, wider tires are worse, not better.

Are 18” fitting because the offset helps clear the calipers?

or are 18” fitting because this owner is part of Cybertruck dev team and he’s comfortable making mods that many of us wouldn’t be?

that the other wheel company stated 18”s don’t fit causes me some confusion, as I’d expect such a wheel company to be happy to expand not constrict their possible offerings

that was my first thought, but that makes it super sketch

MT style tires tend to flex better at low psi providing much better flotation and traction. If you're driving on sand dunes it's a big deal to be able to air down to 15psi to avoid sinking into the sand.
