    Here are a couple of shots of my Taco's all on Pizzas. My Baja on Grey 16" F5's 4.5 BS on Toyo Pizzas
    [​IMG]


    And my 1st gen on 2002 Toyota 4runner Chrome edition wheels also on mini pizzas 235 85 16. These are my all time favorite Toyota 16" wheels 4.5 BS and they actually have a real lip on them rather than being flush... Unfortunately these are really hard to find, I would love to have another set! Hope this helps on your choice of 16" wheels!

    Yep. Gonna have to go with F5's. Got any pictures of the 2nd gen from the front or back? Trying to gauge how much poke it'll have. Need more poke/less backspacing to clear everything up front while not eating a flare or damaging the fenders.

    I think I'll keep an eye out for the FJ/4Runner rims and run them until I need new tires. Then I'll go with 17' F5's in either gloss black or bronze.

    It's really not that bad. I followed the many write-ups found here for reference. If you decide to do it, go slow, take your time, and make sure you clean out the grooves on the housing and the lens of any factory glue for the best seal. I tried using the butyl but it was too think to close the lenses properly and ended up having to clean it all out and do it again using a clear adhesive.

    I'd just go with the 3.5 bs OP

    When you do a coil lift it sucks in the front wheels slightly.
