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

In case you wanted to know what bronze and gunmetal looked like at the same time

 

So I've decided to ditch the fj steels to go with F5 16s, 3.5 bs matte gunmetal. Currently running stock on 265/70r16. I understand the 3.5bs will extend the wheels 1" further out compared to the 4.5bs, or 2.75" to 1.75" respectively. Please correct if I'm wrong.

1. Is 285 /75r16 the max tire size before any rubbing occurs on a 3.5bs?

2. What are your thoughts on a matte silver version of the F5 16s for a black '04 taco, will this even be available?

 

Do the 17x9 3.5 bs rub more and requiring more cutting than the 16x8 3.5 bs when running 285s?

 

yes it does.

 

Lol, looks like brake dust build up... on drum brakes

 

Anyone have some pics of these with 255/85 r16s?

 

There are a few pictures here, if you use the search feature you can search just this thread for “255”

 

Moving has changed you. So mild and helpful now

 

There’s a proper middle ground, I’m out here trying to further the sport

 

So overlanding is a sport. Does that make you a jock?

 

What bumper is that? Looks great!

Silver F5s were an option a long time ago. So were white. But not now. Now we get bronze, gunmetal, black, or blue

 

Is your website out dated or do you have f5s in 16 inch back in stock ?

 

Hi Vin @SCSPerformance

Have you guys ever considered doing an offset that would fall between the -10 and the -38 in the 17" wheels? Like something in the -25 range? Just curious as I personally would love to see something in between the two.

Thanks!

 

Hey @SCSPerformance i got a buddy with a 5 lug LC hoping to lock in some f5s down the line. Have you discontinued those? Or planning on restocking someday?

 

They are still being offered. We don't sell a lot of them so we don't bring them in as often as their 6 lug counterpart.

 

If you want something in between, you have the 16x8 -25mm size option.
