SCS F5 wheels 16x8, 17x8.5, & 17x9

We will probably test them out first in a specific size, but we haven't decided what size yet. Our gunmetal and dark bronze is very tricky to shoot and show the true color. It can appear dark and light depending on the angle and amount of light hitting the wheel which I think it pretty cool and unique.

 

Yup, it's gunmetal - in a very smooth satin finish. The gray is not light - it's just reflection and the phone camera has low dynamic range. I almost don't want to put them on the truck because they will get dirty.

 

Damn, that's nice! What's the specs on your setup? If you don't mind sharing

Oh yeah...

 

The fun part

 

Those 35s look massive compared to the 285s

 

Yes they are

 

I'm hoping I didnt miss this as I looked over the thread, but are the stock steel wheel TPMS sensors able to be reused on the wheels? It seems some oe steel -> aftermarket alloy are able to do this. If not, are the valve stems able to be separated and reused...or is it one piece with the TPMS?

 

Yes you can reuse the TPMS for steelies but they need to be rotated 180' to fit on the SCS. any decent shop should be able to handle this as long as you let them know before hand. I believe they are one peice as well. I have my sr5 steel wheel TPMS in my scs stealth 6 on mine with no issue.

 

much appreciated sir

 

Ok..what offset does everyone run on the F-5? 4.50 or 3.50? What the difference?

 

^^^

Here's a visual of the stance difference.

Both Tacoma have 285/75/16 tires with a 3" lift.

3.50" bs


4.50" bs

 

Thank you both for the share! Now I know which on to go with!

 

Just curious, which one did you decide on?

 

Correct me if I am wrong but I thought the black truck pictured here was on 255/85's

 

Damn this look tough! The taller aspect ratio tires and wider stance really makes it look aggressive.

I got the 285/70 instead of 75s - in consideration of rubbing and power loss. They're still on the patio waiting for the lift kit to arrive.
I may go up to 75s for my next set of tires if there is enough room and regear the axel from the current 3.909 to the 4.3 that comes with the manual trans. I don't know if I can go any higher ratio in the 2016 or if it is necessary to go higher to maintain original power - and to regain the use of 6th gear on anything but a downhill with tailwind.
