*Gauging interest* New size in SCS Ray 10’s(17x9 w/3.5”bs)

I just now realized that these don't work with manual hubs....

 

What?

 

I saw that teaser pic also. I've been watching all of their post and updates like a hawk. I'm ready for some updates. You SCS guys have any of those updates? When the updates getting restocked?

 

if they don't give us an update tomorrow then I'm going to bet next friday for an announcement along with the new inventory restock update. pushing it one more month wouldn't make sense since we have our commit list which was closed last month.

we don't know if they started production or finished them when the list was closed.
a time frame of 1 week production and 3 week freight shipment sounds reasonable to me.

an announcement for the pricing would be lovely in the mean time... <3

 

The way that the center of the wheel is designed doesn't allow enough space for the manual hub lockouts to pass through in the front. Making these useless for me since both of my Yotas have the manual lockouts.

 

I’m guessing you’re a first gen? Sorry I assumed everyone here was 2nd and 3rd gen.

 

Yep, 1st gen taco and 3rd gen 4runner. I'm sure the majority are 2nd and 3rd gen guys though.

 

Im being patient. Good things are worth waiting for.

 

If you want to run these or any SCS wheel designed with a center cap, only about an 1/8" lip has to be removed to slide over hubs. Lots of Land Cruiser guys running SCS wheels have removed the small amount of non-structural aluminum by having a machine shop remove the lip or i've known multiple people to remove the lip with a small barrel sander, a steady hand, and some patience to not rush it.

 

Some people have been here since February, I’ve been here for 2-3 months. I don’t know how those people do it lol

 

Hell, it took me 3 or 4 months of restocks just to get my 17x9 F5's last year. I've been asking them to do the Ray10s in 17x9 since July 2017. I am just hoping to get a set before the 2 year mark from when I first asked haha

 

Just out of curiosity, can someone explain to me the explicit benefits of 17x9 versus their existing offerings?

#taconoobquestion

 

For me it’s mostly looks. Wider wheel, deeper dish and lower offset.

 

I'm willing to do that to make it work. I know my warn outers are bigger than the factory aisins though.

Anyone have a measurement on that hub opening?

 

Big one for me is the backspace. Basically all 17x9's available are 4.5-5" backspace, on a 1st gen taco that means spacers are needed to run 35's. 3.5" backspace is perfect for us to run 35's spacerless.

 

I still think there is a market out there for a 17x8 -25 3.5" BS. Maybe even something more aggressive, like 3" BS. Would probably kill joints and bearings though.

8" wide wheel would be perfect for 255/80, 285/70-75, 34x10.50 users.

 

Im currently running 265-70-17 Michelin's on Raceline 17x9's. No tire stretch. 9 inch wheels work very well for a variety of tire sizes.

 

i heard that if we hit 60 pages they'll announce the price and date.

true story guys! or is it?

 

so what are we waiting for let's do this

 

, not in a hurry myself I'm being patient
