FS: 16x8" Five Star Wheels - New Wheel from FN Wheels

Did you paint the back two wheels to match the black in the center of the front two?

 

YES! That's what most people do

 

The entire drum or just the center?

 

How much are you guys paying for a set of 4? Also what lung nuts?

 

Different wheels are different prices. Check out their website and give them a call. If they have any special pricing on stuff they will let you know on the phone

 

Awesome. I'm leaning towards the 17" with the -6 offset. Thanks

 

That's a good offset for a little poke but not to much.

 

I'm still loving this set up. The offset and 285 sits maybe an inch past the fender. It kicks up a lot of mud but I don't mind. The truck looks even better dirty in my opinion.

 

I picked up some of these a few years back after installing my FN Five Stars. Spray is somewhat reduced. They're still hanging on but each flap has lost some mounting hardware. If I had to do it over again, I'd use a little blue Locktite. I believe there was a TW group buy and we got somewhere between 10-15% off.

I'm not a mudflap guy. I ripped my oem ones off wheeling with 256's. Haha I still need to do more cutting for these tires. They scrub when stuffed. I haven't chopped the cab mount yet but I do plan on it eventually.

 

Some of y'all are asking about center caps. Here's what I did:

The Five Stars shipped with matching center caps. I removed the center of each cap with a screwdriver, ordered a set of PTR18-35092-Center, filed down the clips and popped it all together. Careful as your palm can get pinched.

 

That's a cool idea.

 

Hey man. Are you in Athens? I think I just saw your truck in traffic on Epps bridge.

 

ha- yeah. Christmas shopping.

 

It looks awesome. Did you make the grill?

 

Yeah,
Dremeled out the grill, got the wire mesh and picked up the Toyota letters from a Land Cruiser parts place. Did it back in 2014. It wasn’t too difficult, just high stakes cutting up the nose.

 

I would love to try it but I'm scared to mess it up. Haha

 

Did you have to do any trimming or CMC to clear the 285’s with the -25 offset?

 

I have cut the plastics and flattened the pinch weld. I have not done a cmc but it doesn't rub to bad. I do need to do it though.

 

Good to know. I am currently running 285/75/17 (34x11) and did a CMC already along with the same trimming you’ve done. I am thinking of switching to the same wheels you have because I just like the 16” wheels more. The -25 is about 0.5” more pushed out than my current wheels tho.
