Gave me the wheel nuts and everything. Pretty awesome guys to deal with!

 

do u know what the specs are of the trd rims? width and offset? just something to consider if you are planning to up to some 285/70/17

 

Think you would still need spacers to clear the uca. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/wheel-specs.30754/

 

oh I'm not asking for myself haha to run 285/70/17 u need at MOST 4.75 BS and u will still be close to the UCA's.

 

I know they're 7" wide, not too sure about the offset though... the fuel vapor wheels I have right now are -18 offset (with 265/70/17 duratracs) so they stick out quite a bit and I love the look, definitely going to have to go with spacers to get that stance + clear the uca (I do have light racing uca's though, might help a bit?)

I'm really leaning towards the 255/80/17 cooper discoverer s/t maxx, i'd rather not have to hack away to clear 285s just yet

 

Lol you say your not, yet you already know what tire specs ya need.

 

That’s what I did for a while. It is true depending on how much you flex the front end. Your wheel that stick out more may cause you to rub on the fender. I just tucked with my wheels that were stock.

 

yeah I think the TRD wheels are closer to OEM wheels so ur probably would need spacers. I am running with 1.25'' wheel spacers just cuz I like the stance it gives. I'm going to step up to 285's tho, I like the look and its not that much cutting, CMC and slight trimming of inner finder, nothing close to what 35's need. maybe a little pinch weld mod. its nothing that will be noticeable to the naked eye or without sticking your head in the wheel well hahaha

 

hhahaha oh sorry, yes, I will be going to 285's I just meant I am not going with TRD wheels hahahaha I'm going with Mickey Thompson Classic in matte black

 

Nice. Like that rim. If only they had more offset and backspacing options. 3.75-3.5 seem to be the sweet spot for 35’s. I would have loved some steelies but could find some at the price point, in 17’s (brake upgrade), and with the bs and offset.

 

what did you think of the skinny 255s? i'm honestly torn between 285/70/17 and 255/80/17... I don't mind getting a cmc done by somebody local, trimming the inner fender is okay too... i have bilstein 5100s at 0" on OME 887s

 

u going 4runner or tundra brakes? ill be swapping to the 4runner breaks once my front end needs to be done. the only thing I kind of dislike about the taco is the brakes haha

 

Be aware these 17" faux beadlocks are not TRD wheels, they are knockoffs made to the same style but in 17". Spec in the listing says 17x8 +15mm offset.

Toyota only offers this style in 16".

 

I don't even like the faux beadlocks hahaha but still good to know

 

Got a good price on 4Runner Limited calipers? Why stop there? http://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com/scripts/prodView.asp?idproduct=-10610

 

i thought they were legit, what about these ones? https://goo.gl/Sg9SY8 im assuming theyre also knock offs? 8.5" with +15mm offset, is there a big difference in quality between these and the oem ones?

 

holy crap that's pricey hahahaha I can get 4 runner calipers, rotors and pads for less then that and will probably net me the same stopping power

 

Yes they are knock-offs. Real ones are $325 each at Cochrane Toyota in Alberta: https://tacomatownonline.com/products/trd-pro-black-17x7-4

You won't notice a difference in quality, but the sizing is different: real ones are 17x7" with +4mm offset. If you want to run 285 tires, get the 8.5" wide knock-offs; the 7" real TRD wheels are too narrow.

 

Yeah, I asked them about those awhile back, made in China I believe.

 

shit i had no idea, thanks for the heads up knock offs it is, a lot cheaper! the 8.5" width is right at the max width for the cooper discoverer 255/80/17s (6.5-8.5") which should be fine. thanks for the help!!
