    13 Tacoma Double Cab 4x4
    Hi All,
    I'm going to be purchasing a 2013 Tacoma Double Cab Sport Package 4x4 soon and I've been shopping around to replace the standard 17 rims/tires with 16 inch rims/tires. I'm pretty sure I'm going to stay with the 265/70r16 stock tire dimensions to optimize gas efficiency and ride quality. (I also like the look of the 265/70r16 vs. the 265/65r17 tires). Most likely I'll be running Michelin LTX M/S 2 on the truck. I drive 95% road 5% offroad (which would be primarily dirt/gravel roads)

    Buying rims is where is where I think I need the most input from experienced Tacoma owners. I've narrowed down the choices to the SCS f-5, FN Five Star or FN Countersteer Offroad 16" rims.

    I'd love to hear what you all think would be the best rim for my size tire. (looks count too) Also, what would be the best backspacing 3.5 or 4.5 for my tires?

    Thanks much,
    David
