Northern Virginia Roll Call

Don't forget. They have an app.

 

Tell me about it! When I put on my sliders I was using like 5 different sockets for old bolts/ new beefier bolts. I think I'm going to replace them one by one until they are all new.

 

Haha yeah! I have a mix on my skid plates and its super annoying. Have x2 ANSI spec m8 bolts, x2 m10 ANSI spec, and x2 m8 JIS bolts. I dread taking it off lol

 

My wheels are 7.5" wide with +13mm offset, so if my calculation is correct, 7.5" + 1" / 2 = 4.25 plus 13mm positive offset (about 1/2") is 4.75" BS. Previously I had been doing that in my head and coming up with 4.5 so I just realized I have 0.25" more backspace than I thought. That explains why Will's truck had more poke than mine (17x8.5 -10 offset, which equals 4.25 BS); his setup sticks out 0.5" more than mine (without spacers).

Edit: This is why I don't do my math in my head anymore...

 

Haha, math. I never do math in public. I use charts like this and say, "Close enough!"


Based on that (not sure if its universal, but probably not), I think you are damn close with your 4.75" calculation.

Edit: which explains why the -10 at 8.5 Ray10 is 4.30" for backspacing...-12 at 8.5 on that chart is 4.25 or about 2 mm off.

 

And why they use millimeters for offset and inches for wheel width and BS is beyond me. Pick one or the other, I don't care which!

Edit: thanks for the chart, I'm going to save that for reference

 

Concur! My vote is metric...metric everything!

 

So not to drag this out, but going back to potentially moving my 3/4" spacers from the back to the front, I would only stick out 1/4" more than your old setup, which makes me think I stand a good chance of still not rubbing since you reportedly didn't rub.

 

Wish this guy had sold these a couple months ago, that's a phenomenal deal. Less than half off.

Edit: Already sold of course!

Double edit: 17" tires, so they wouldn't have worked with my 16" rims

 

Greetings from NOVA Manassas

 

Agreed, but I'll let Randy be the deciding vote on that one, haha. I can also re-confirm that I didn't rub at all, even the few times I took the truck up to flagpole and taskers gap/peters mill. The fact that I didn't rub probably also had a lot to do with my SPC UCAs.

 

Welcome! Nice looking truck you have there...

 

Gotcha. Well, only one way to fine out!

Welcome to Tacoma World

 

Hi neighbor

 

Hello

 

you could pull your front suspension out and see how close they are to the body mount at stuffed and steering lock

 

Welcome!

 

Welcome

 

You’re correct that you have 4.75 BS, which means 2.75” front space. (7.5” wide wheel - 4.75” BS)

Will is at 4.36” BS which means 4.14” front space. (8.5” wide wheel - 4.36” BS)

4.14” - 2.75” = 1.39” more poke from the scs wheels versus your wheels.

So theoretically you could add a 1.39” spacer and be at the same exact poke as him.

 

Welcome to the circus!
