18x9 BFD Wheels

Yes, TPMS sensors are compatible. Most of the guys posting on here have TPMS sensors installed in their wheels.

Thank you sir.

 

For anybody interested, I put together a How-To for my center caps...

Hope everything is clear, and it answers any question you might have.

 

You're truly an artist Cody. Awesome work with the custom caps, and you made an excellent, easy to follow write-up. I can't wait to see everything once it's installed on your truck.

 

Thanks.......and nice write up....

 

i was wondering if there are any issues running these wheels with a drop bracket lift? im in the market from some wheels...again, since i cant run my current setup.

 

Depends on the back spacing requirements of the db lift you're going with. I was able to use mine on the RCD kit which required a 17x8 wheel with min. 4.5" backspacing. BFD wheels are 18x9 with 5" back spacing.

 

i dont know the exact requirements but i know that i wont be able to run my welds (16x8 4.6BS) without spacers im guessing. i think 17" and 4.5BS is minimal. i would purchase a set of these if i knew i would be able to clear even possibly with1.25 spidertrac, cause wirh the spacers it would possibly be like 18x9 w/ 3.75BS or 18x10.25 w/ 5BS eqiuvalent. i wouldnt see why not cause, we all know these hawaii boys like for go wide, ie: 18x12, 20x12, 20x14, etc lol.

 

What lift do you have?

 

currently i have a full icon setup (icon ucas, extended travel coilovers, 2.5 smooth body rear shock, dakar leaf pack). next week i will be going 7" with a procomp drop bracket lift and replacing the icon setup i have now with its larger lifted application counterparts.

 

You should be fine with the 1.25 spacers.

 

Oh nice! I have the ProComp DB with 6-7" Icons up front, basically what you will have minus the UCAs.

Looks like ProComp has removed the wheel specs from their website, but it used to say 17" wheels or larger with a min-max back spacing is 4.0-4.65 inches. BFDs have a backspacing of 5"... Just a bit too deep.

Test fitting the wheels, they clear everything fine, but fitment will most likely depend on your tire choice. It looks to me that larger tires will rub on the sway bar linkage. Not sure if there is a difference with your UCAs... I ordered a set of 1" spacers, hoping they will be here next week. Once they arrive I will have wheels and tires mounted up, and be able to answer the fitment question.

 

nice! yeah if im going up i would like to atleast stay with a 33" equivalent. with the setup im using now im running 285/75/16. with the new setup i wouldnt want to go less than that, sonin other word, 285/65/18.

 

Lots of good information in the quotes above. Thank you flatfeet and BeePee for helping me out with the information.

Xer0 SiN - I don't think you'd have an issue with 285/65R18 tires, since most of the guys with 6" + lift are going with 35's and something a little wider too. However, I haven't tested every tire with every 6" drop bracket lift, so there might be some clearance issues that would necessitate wheel spacers.

If the manufacturer of your lift recommends 4.5" of back spacing and you don't mind installing spacers, there is no reason why you should have any issues if you install a 1" or 1.25" wheel spacer (even a .5" would technically work, but given the short studs of the Tacoma I'd recommend a 1.0" or 1.25" wheel spacer with built in wheel studs, otherwise you'd need to install extended studs with the .5" wheel spacer). The BFDs have 5" back spacing, so all you would do is subtract the thickness of the spacers from the backspacing to determine your new back spacing (as you mentioned).

What I would personally recommend - order the wheels and tires that you want to use. After installing your lift test fit two of the wheels without mounting a tire. Check for any clearance issues. Then mount up two of the wheels with tires and check for clearance issues. If nothing rubs you're good to go. If it does rub, you can order the appropriate wheel spacers to alleviate the rubbing.

If you want a 17" design that is similar and lightweight, and soon to be available in 17x8" with 4.5" back spacing, we will have the Konig Six Shooters in stock in these specs in June.

However, I'm personally very partial to the BFDs, and I think they'd look great on your truck.

 

i know its kind of a stretch but is it possible to ask for a 18x10 -25mm backspace? >=). just imagine the aggressiveness and concavity of the rims! i would order a set no questions asked lol. im sure if would be very popular amost us drop bracket guys LOL.

 

I second that request!!

 

LOL. i only ask because in all honesty, when it comes to wheels, at 10" and wider we get severely limited in our options. im not really fond of fuel wheels (with the exception of 'trophy', the forged version), and i dont have the budget to be dropping 2-3k for a set of welds everytime i want a new set of wheels. i really like this look that youre offering and i feel your prices are very reasonable for what you bring to the table. just some food for thought .

 

Thanks guys.

We can do it, but the mould development and construction costs are pretty high. Even though the design would be very similar, it would still require us to pay for engineering, testing, certification and mould construction before we are able to manufacture a single wheel to sell.

If I can get about 100 wheels sold up front (paid in full in advance or at least a 50% deposit in advance) I can spread the cost of development out across the wheels and not really have to charge any extra to make a totally new size such as the 18x10" -25mm offset that you want. There would be a wait time of approximately 6-9 months from the day that we get started until the wheels are shipping out to customers.

I love coming out with new stuff, and I'd love to make a super aggressive fitment for you monster truck guys.

 

Gunmetal Graphite.. Thanks to Dustin and his crew.. Wifey loved them aswell...

 

Thanks..just a lift spacers and blocks for now, bought the truck with those installed already... Coilovers and AAL are on the list..

 

Looks really good. What size are those tires?
