    Thanks! I sent you a reply.

    Good question! I will do some digging and see if I can come up with anything (not sure I've seen the combination done before).

    Hi,

    This truck has a spindle lift and 16" matte black FN Wheels Five Stars with 315/75R16 Mickey Thompson Baja Claw tires (it's a silver truck, but I think it should still give you a pretty good idea of how they'd look on a white truck):

    AFE 3" cat-back exhaust. AFE stage 2 CAI. Bilstein 5100s all around. Depo blacked out headlights. Weather techs. Toytec/eibach 2.5" coils. 2014 TSB leafs with Icon progressive AAl. LR UCAs. 2014 Headunit upgrade.
    I'm currently running bilsteins all around with the front on the second setting. Right now I've got some ultra motorsports mavericks 16x8 with 265/75/16 revo 2 right with no rub at all. I love these wheels but, just curious with the 3.52 backspace if I'm probably gonna have some rubbing issues?

    Are these pics on a 2nd gen tacoma? How did you do this? My TRD caps can't sit flush on the front of my 2013 because of the bulge in the center of the hub.

    Thanks Dustin for all your help! Last box of 5 Stars came in today and drove straight to the tire shop and got them mounted. All wheels made the 6,000 mile journey undamaged!
    Got lots of compliments from tire shop employees and customers while wheels were getting mounted. I'll post pics after I get the center caps modded this weekend!
    Wife was not a fan of the the wheels when I showed her the pics on line, but really liked them when she she saw how they looked on the truck. You know what they say! "A happy wife, is a happy life"!

    I've been looking at ALL THE WHEELS EVER for the past three weeks and I keep coming back to these beauties. They've set the aesthetic in my mind and nothing else can touch them. I bought my Tacoma last month. It arrived two weeks ago and I'm starting my upgrades this weekend. The rubber is fresh on the oem tires so new wheels & tires is slightly down my list but I look forward (and fall asleep every night to the thought of ) having these wheels on my truck.
    Reading other posts, I gather the 265/70r16 is sort of the standard. I intend to do a 3" lift to my silver double cab short bed. I keep going back & forth between the black and bronze sets. I'm leaning toward bronze now. If there's ever any doubt about the continued future of this line please don't hesitate to post here, in case I need to go ahead and make these wheels mine sooner than later.

    I got the matte bronze to go with my Pyrite mica and got no regrets.

    It was a pretty typical nice day here in the PNW. Took a few pics, bad ones but.

    yessir! Icon most likely, possibly ORI. After today I don't think it will stay with the stock suspension, gears, transfer case for much longer ;) 265/70/17 Duratracs.
