FN 5 star V.S. SCS F5

Hmmm, I never had an issue ordering my F5 set. Just checked his stock thread and ordered 4 plus a blemished one(which you can't even see) for the spare.
I guess all my luck got used up on these then since I couldn't get 2nd gen dual map lights from Meso for the life of me

 

When ordering the fn five star 16x8 what do i get for offset to keep the wheels inside the wheel wells or flush at most

 

IIRC, the closest they have is a zero offset. They will not be totally flush but will stick out an inch or so more than stock.

 

Thanks for the reply.

Any idea what the offsets are on the f5?

 

Both SCS and FNW offer the same offsets. Other than availability, both run pretty similar specs.

 

Yeah...... no need to discuss the availablity seems to be a sensitive subject around here. Bummer was liking the looks of these rims and how lightweight they are. Not looking to be flinging debris all over the side of the truck.

 

I think you may be overestimating how far out the 0 offset 8 inch wheels stick out.

 

Yeah, the 0 offset doesn't really stick out if you aren't running wide tires on it. Tires in these pics are 265/75/16.

 

Yeah those are not as bad as i thought.

 

I have 16x8 0 offset wrapped with 285/75r16 Cooper AT3 XLT.

 

I am in this same spot right now can't get a replacement for SCS with zero guesses when they will have anything, I am seriously considering buying a set of these FNs and selling the other three F5s I have left.. They do look remarkably the same haha

 

The current F5s i have are listed as an 8.5 -10mm offset, would the FN -6 offset mean they won't be pushed out quite as far? i am stilll wrapping my head around what those numbers indicate

 

Yes. They would stick out 4mm less than what they currently do. 4mm is 1/6th of an inch.

 

I am considering selling my wheels and tires for $1500 obo with oem tpms mounted & balanced. Never seen offroad not a single scratch and about less than 6k miles

 

Nice setup. My FN Five Stars (16x8 0mm) hopefully come today, planning to put on some Cooper Evo MTs, 285/75r16. Any tips to running the front factory mud flaps with 33s?

 

Do they have a -10?

 

So there’s a 5 start 16in -10mm?

 

I am debating this myself
Fn 5 star pros .lightweight!!!..great service...free shipping... oem caps fit


Scs pros ...lightweight!!! drip

 

You can't go wrong with the 5 Stars. I will admit I'm thinking about getting rid of mine, just purely out of boredom.
