SCS Blemished Wheels

Damn hot, right there. Tire specs?

 

Love it. Are they 265/70?

 

Yes, 265/70/17 Falken Wildpeaks. Sorry should have said that in my post.

 

Looks awesome! I just recently went the same route and you’re right, not a “blem” to be seen!

 

Which wheel offset did you get?

 

Looks like -10.

 

17x8.5 -10

Looks perfect to me. I considered the Ray 10s in -38, glad I stuck with the -10s now. I think this is just the right amount of poke at my age!

 

Do you notice a difference in steering, or does it feel like stock? I agree, minus 38 is too aggressive for my old ass.

 

I had these tires on the 17x7 TRD 4Runner Pro wheels so didn’t come directly from my stock 16” OR wheel/tire combo. The SCS are 1.5” wider and I feel the tire fits the wheel much better fills out better. I think this combo may have a little less roll and than my previous, and definitely much less than stock. I prefer a firmer ride, so I really hope enjoy the way this set up rides. Only 20 miles or so on it but rides very well IMO.

 

You will definitely notice a better handling on the 8.5 wheel. I had the SCS on my 15 Tacoma with the same size tire and made a big difference.

 

Any rubbing or any trimming you have done? Great looking set

 

The -38's wouldnt work stock setup, you'd be rubbing all over the place, not to mention your fenders, lower trim, etc. will thank you from the beating they would get with those.

 

Yes, I’m aware of that. I have a Eibach Pro Kit, Wheelers progressive leaf pack, and a few other small items in my garage waiting to be installed to give her some height. Some new UCAs will be on order as well once I decide what brand I want to go with. -38 at at the end of the day is more work and more poke than I prefer.

 

Yep, you'd still be cutting / CMC'ing even with the lift. Truck looks good, ray's are overplayed in my opinion. Sr8s look good.

 

Yup, CMC and pinch weld were on the menu had I went with the more aggressive offset. I will move up to a 285 after the lift at some point so will be doing CMC anyways. Thanks, appreciate the compliment.

 

You should be able to get away without a pinch or CMC with 285/70r17s and those with a good alignment, I did on my last truck. And ya I'm a sucker for black trucks, had 2, never again but best looking color in my opinion.

 

PM'd

 

Damn I need some F-5 in matte black in -22 offset 16x8. Please!

 

I'm rooting for ya David.

 

I still cant find where the blemishes are. Dont even hesitate to buy these wheels at all. Glad to be back to ray10's.. a timeless design
