    All Tundras, but more specifically the 1st Gen Tundra has a lower offset wheel from the factory than just about any other Toyota truck outside of maybe the Land Cruiser.

    Stock 1st Gen Tundra 17" alloys are +18mm offset vs +30 of 2nd Gen Taco, +25 of 3rd Gen Taco, and +10 of TRD Beadlocks. Those wheels look pretty good on a Tacoma, but a -20 offset on the Tundra doesn't look nearly as aggressive as a Tacoma with the same wheel.

    +0 wheels? Weaksauce. Might as well stay stock.

    SCS is just about the only company that produces a good looking wheel in 17x8.5" width with a -38 offset. The problem of course, is that SCS wheels are flipping hard to get.

    I'm curious if anyone knows of other low-offset 17" alloys in our bolt pattern? I'm looking for more -38, 3.5" backspace, NARROW wheels (nothing wider than 8.5").

    I don't know but I'm interested too. Have you maybe tried FN wheels? Or KMC?

    I gave up trying to find a simple looking 16x8 inch wheel with 3.5" backspacing. I am just going to go with 1.25" spacers instead.

    The only thing I've been able to find that'll be both narrow and low offset are going to be custom wheels from US Wheel via Summit. Thing is, I'm not entirely sure if these wheels will have issues with caliper clearance or not.
