Am I right, or am I right?

They both come in a shipping container from china. SCS likes to play the hard to get game but every other Taco and t4r is rolling on them.

 

if you want SCS get the some blemished ones. I bought 5, and on 3 of them the "blemish" is a dime size scratch that would be covered by the tire, 1 the hub cap is scratched and the last one has a spot of discolored paint on the inner well of the wheel and it is only about the size of a quarter.

Also worth mentioning, all five 17" stealth 6 cost me around $900 after shipping (same price of 16" before shipping). When the hard to get new 17" stealths, that pass quality inspection are over $1000.

and SCS maintains a structural warranty on the blemished wheels.

And the blemished inventory restocks faster, you may have to piece a set together. took me two weeks to get 5 from when i decided i wanted them. https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/scs-blemished-wheels.264466

 

so who here has experience with mounting wheels and such in the seattle area

 

A bit... what's up?

 

never done it before and im a little confused on backspacing on whether or not i need spacers for a -6mm backspacing on stock suspension

 

Whats the tire size?

 

ideally 33s since im planing on doing a 3" lift once i get back from a 3 month deployment in October

 

The width of the tire matters too. Also how much rubbing is acceptable. A little bit while flexing at low speed is usually acceptable. It's probably not a bad idea to do the entire swap all at once, lift, tires, and cab mount chop. Definitely gives you some homework time.

 

try this site out man.

 

If you're going to the overland rally at the end of the month.... go bullshit here:

Ok somethings fucked up with the site won’t let me post pics from library.

 

Tacoma World got wind of your, soon to be, separation of all things Tacoma!

 

Did you settle on a replacement for the Taco yet?

 

Yikes

 

Nah I’m having issues with the idea of writing a big check for a new car when I own my taco outright. I don’t like car payments so we pay cash and that’s a might big chunk so might just keep taco a couple more years.

 

Sounds like a good plan.

 

I see what you did there!

 

The helicopters landed in meadow we were camped. Never feels good when you see all the ambulances, fire trucks, and search and rescue. Be careful out there.

 

Anyone in here with a third gen looking for a rear winch mount bumper?

Edit: or a second gen for that matter.
