SCS F5 wheels 16x8, 17x8.5, & 17x9

Damn this look tough! The taller aspect ratio tires and wider stance really makes it look aggressive.

I got the 285/70 instead of 75s - in consideration of rubbing and power loss. They're still on the patio waiting for the lift kit to arrive.
I may go up to 75s for my next set of tires if there is enough room and regear the axel from the current 3.909 to the 4.3 that comes with the manual trans. I don't know if I can go any higher ratio in the 2016 or if it is necessary to go higher to maintain original power - and to regain the use of 6th gear on anything but a downhill with tailwind.

 

Just arrived to today. F-5's 16x8 3.5BS. But they only sent two wheels. I hope the other 2 arrive soon or I'll be calling SCS to see if they even sent all 4.

 

Was starting to get scared but the other 2 showed up. I don't get why they would make 2 trips to my house.

 

You have good taste

 

Now get ready for many compliments and people asking "Where did you get those wheels?"

 

We would never just send only 2 wheels to a customer. 10 out of 10 times, any shipping issue is always UPS related. To bad, we can't run our own shipping delivery service

 

One set was easy to get to, the other was buried in the back of the truck and they couldn't get to them until they unloaded a bunch of other stuff first.

 

Stoked! Got them on the truck and they look amazing! It was dark, so picks tomorrow!

 

Love the matte gunmetal on my white 1st gen!

 

F5's on an otherwise stock tacoma. Love these wheels. Took the fender flares off and the wheels poke out just the perfect amount from the fender itself.

 

One other thing to keep in mind is that if you get the 3.5" with more poke, you're going to get a lot more spray on the sides of your truck from rain, mud, snow, etc. I like getting my truck dirty just as much as the next guy and I do have a couple of mild pin stripes, but I went with 4.5" so I wouldn't have to worry about rocks getting kicked up and chipping the paint or gradual damage from there always being a coating of grit on the body. I plan on keeping my truck until the engine falls out the bottom, so I want to keep the body in good condition for as long as possible.

 

Hey, I'm in the process of specing out this exact combo of wheel tire option (Cooper 265/76 and F5 4.5) on my SSM 2015 DCLB. It has been VERY hard to find pictures, especially good one, of this exact combo. Can you possibly take a few more pics from the side in sunlight and also from front/back showing the offset against the fenders? It would be greatly appreciated.

edits: typos fixed.

 

1.28.16 improvement from OEM wheels

 

Looking at the same wheel and tire combo. Are these the 3.5" or 4.5"?

 

I just ordered some of these and cooper stt pro... People go full retard when it snows a little bit.... Wish we had dot inspections cause 75% of the cars on the road wouldn't be for bald tires or list of other safety issues

 

I can def do that, I should be able to upload something on Tuesday

 

Awesome, thanks, man!

 

Love it!!!

 

Can't really see it but they're there
