Poly Performance is a bunch of pussy cowards - stay away

 

I had 15x8 at 3.75BS. The important part is that you have some clearance (literally just enough to turn the fucker without it scraping the caliper) when the wheel is torqued on using all lugs. But because they're punched steel wheels they're gonna flex when turning, so the first few times you might notice a noise and maybe a clean spot on the caliper. That's all I was saying is normal. They didn't touch anything important on mine, I'd be worried if they ground out the brace vane or the fluid pass through, but mine scrubbed the useless inner part lightly.

 

I have the OTC tool that works for that, but cool deal nonetheless

 

I am looking at these: https://www.stealthcustomseries.com/blogs/news

Wish I could weld

 

I got you, yeah there is enough room for a piece of cardboard between the wheel and caliper and it turns fine so I won't worry about that

 

It's a good skill to learn, over the past month I racked up well over 6000" of welding haha

 

Just don't end up on the news cause you ran yourself or someone else over.

 

Instead of welding the beadlock to the outer lip I am thinking about cutting the lip off so I can make the total width 17x9

 

I didn't need one. Just had a friend hold the brake while I torqued haha

 

Nope. Don't play that game, wheels chocked, jack stands if necessary. Lost someone that way.

 

bueno

 

The SCS ones are really pretty. I really like their F5s too. Just didn't want to spend so much

 

I like their wheels too, I miss my F5s sometimes. But I don't think I need to go with expensive wheels anymore. I chewed up my F5s pretty bad

 

I thought about converting these 4runner wheels to beadlocks but I don't want to keep running spacers because they're annoying

 

I've heard from 5 lug guys they can also "freeze" onto ur vehicle with off-roading and mudding long enough. Any validity to this in your experience?

 

I need to see if any adult/night school near any of the areas I frequent have a welding class
