    I only see 17x8 with -10 offset in here and on their website? Do you have a link to what you are talking about?

    No link, just the wheels. You have to call him to ask for these wheels. He had mentioned to me that they were popular with his FJ customers, I guess it's on the secret menu along with animal style fries :D

    Some new photos. Wheels held up great in our nasty winter weather.

    $899 shipped to continental U.S. for a set. I am not able to see pricing shipped to Canada.

    17x8 -10 offset, in stock in gunmetal, light gunmetal, limited qty in matte black and matte bronze in stock.

    FN has recently relocated to a new facility and has faced challenges in keeping up with orders and customer inquiries. He has not been able to log on and tackle the forums lately, but he is more than happy to return any inquiries made directly to him via email or text. I can try and help you with any questions you may have, but I am in no way an FN employee (haha that sounds funny if you say it out loud :crazy:)

    Boost, armor, lights, big tires, no savings.
    It appears there's two different but similar wheels posted in this thread? I'm wondering about the 17 x 8 with 4.1 back spacing on a Tacoma. I want to run a 285/75 17, not "70". This is around a 34" x 11.25". The new falken wild peak at3/w comes in that size. Anyone rub on fenders in this size? Trying to squeeze between the UCA and inner fender. I like the tall and skinny but want more than a 255.
    I've only found two other members running that size but they are using old tundra split spoke rims that are only 7.5 wide with 4.5 bs.
    Any experience/ pics?

    What backspacing did these rims have?

    I am running 285/75/17 Nitto Trail on FN FX pro 17x8, 0 offset, 4.5 backspacing and they will make contact at full bump, 285/75/16 makes contact with the flares, there is no way to clear the flares on an 05-15 Taco. I only rub the frame on the rear at full lock while on inclines etc. UCA clearance is no issues, LCA has had a touch one time, nothing to worry about. This wheel will work for you, but there will still be rubbing on the outside area. hope this helps.

    I have 285/75r17 on these wheels. With alignment caster maxed, I had to cut some of the flare, beat some of the pinch weld flat, and cab mount chop. It was worth it, pics somewhere in the last few pages of my build thread.

    He has a dealer in Canada that is a distrubutor. They will sell you these or any other FN wheels. It does save some on duties. Give Kyle a call and he can give you pricing. (He also lists them on Kijiji regularly in Calgary area). They took care of me when I had questions regarding my rims. Also took care of me when a shop scratched them up bad.

    Are your wheels anthracite gunmetal or graphite gunmetal?
    Having a hard time deciding on an Fn wheel and finish for my MGM.

    Noticed at one time (looking at your build) you had some Five Stars on yours too. I'm assuming those were light Anthracite. Am I correct?
    Thanks

    I think I've decided this will be my wheel. Probably gunmetal for my silver truck, run a black softopper 99% of the time.
