Anyone running these Ion Alloys 174s?

They say -5 Offset and 4 1/4" BS.
Ive searched all day and cannot find any info on these(caliper issues etc..)
Anyone know anything about these?

 

What are the diameter and width of the wheels?

 

They are 16x8.

 

Yeah that's a tough call with the 16's. Some brands rub the calipers, some don't, so you're doing the right thing by asking if anyone has them.

 

I may just go with 17s just to steer clear of the caliper issue all together

 

I was looking at these the other day and was wondering the same thing. Also looking at the 16x10. Any input?

 

Wondering if anyone is running these wheels in a 16x8. Looking at these but wondering about caliper issues
thx

 

im running them in my 03 tacoma and they barely miss the calipers

 

Cr250jumper but he's a first gen though.

I've got ion alloy 133s with no issues and 16s

 

glad I found this thread. I've also been trying to find out if these wheels fit our trucks in a 16". I think 4banger09 answered the question-thanks. wheelsforless.com has the ion 133 for $126 a piece and the 174's for $112 a piece plus free shipping! Sounds like a good deal for a good looking wheel.

 

just thought I'd share some info on the Ion 174's for those interested. I bought a set of 17's used for 300 bucks and found some used 285's for 80 bucks. When I went to bolt em on, my caliper was in the way. Not the height but the width. Theres a ridge on the outside of our (2nd gens) caliper that has to be ground down some. But be careful not to grind to far or you'll find brake fluid . I made the mistake but I'm blaming my cousin lol. All I had was a flap disk on my grinder and was not making much progress so he said "why don't you put on the cut off wheel and just cut it off". So I thought, eh, might as well, and went to cutting flush with the caliper. Needless to say I cut to deep and a new one was 80 bucks plus my core. So next day I brought my grinding wheel and took care of the problem, and now they fit and look awsome! I'll try to get some pics up soon

a -5 offset pushes the rim tange or spoke away from the rotor. in other words, pushing the tire out

Are you running those tires without a lift?

 

yes I was and they didn't rub after some trimming but they only had about .25" tread left. I now have a new set and a lift.
