What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

Since i bent a rim and cant see the bs on my current set up 15x10 rims

Thinking of going back to 15x8. Love the look of my 15x10. People think im running 35s...lol.

What do yall think? Go back to 15x8? ?

Im digging the D window steelies. Anybody have a link to theirs? I know people have said you cant run D windows but i have seen it done. I am also running a 1/4 inch spacer up front

 

Can You Still Run A 12.5" Wide Tire With A 8" wide wheel?

 

I wouldn't go with an AutoZone PCV valve, I picked one up and compared to the Toyota version, its shit. Completely plastic, broke in half when installing. Also make sure the grommet you get seats tight.

 

Now throw it in the garbage! Gotta do it right.

 

Smash her twice as hard, for me.

 

FWIW, I'm running 315/75R-16 (nominally 35/12.50) on 16x8x3.5BS SCS F5s.

Granted, that's a taller sidewall, but I've never been a fan of the wide rim vs. section width look; too mall crawler for my blood. But @Fernando's setup looks great on a 10" rim!

 

I'm so glad I'm not dependent on caffeine or coffee.

Merry Christmas everyone. And no, I don't even multiquote bro.

 

Excuse me?

 

Tea. Lrg double double.

Halp!

 

These past couple of days I've just been winging it without checking my statements. After spending about $600 at the dealer I just said screw it I'll splurge like a Cali girl.

 

Yea. Not sure if i read the "smash her" or the "for me" part wrong. Or maybe i read it right?

 

Is there a negative effect when wheeling though with only a 8" wheel, what is the recommended wheel size for a 12.5?...more chance of breaking the beads etc with a 8" on the trail?

 

Commas are your friends, guys.

 

I'm sure it's possible. I do know that 8" was the minimum specified by Cooper for the ST Maxx in my size.

I'm not as qualified or experienced as some of the other members here, so we'll see if they chime in.

8" wheel will be fine, less chance of breaking a bead on a narrow rim, not more.

 

Is this because the tire is not as 'stretched' ?

 

Kinda what I figured intuitively, but don't have as much experience to back it up!

Thanks, Brett!

 

yes, exactly.

Stock 7" wide wheels are surprisingly good at holding a bead as well.

When I was running those, I had to do a little talking to get Discount to mount my 295s on such a narrow rim. Lots of offroading in the 10 psi range, and some snow wheeling closer to 6 psi and I never lost a bead.

Keep the wide travel at the mall.
