    Hi everyone. I'm sorry for the extremely late replies / updates. We've been on top of all phone calls and orders, but e-mail and forum message volume has been very heavy as of late. If anyone needs a faster reply please don't hesitate to call us at (951)735-1100, or call/text my cell: (714)390-9387.


    • The 16x8" / -25mm offset Five Stars spokes are slightly more concave vs. the 17x8.5" / -6mm offset Five Star spokes (said differently, the 17" Five Star spokes are slightly flatter). This is due to the more extreme (negative) offset of the 16x8" / -25mm.
    • The 16" wheels definitely clear the 2014 Tacoma brakes without any issues.


    Yes, the 16" Five Stars will 100% clear the brakes on your 2009 Tacoma. You can order from : www.fnwheels.com/store, or you can call me at (951)735-1100 or (714)390-9387 to order a set over the phone. If you're in Southern California you can also pickup a set from us locally. I'm sorry we didn't get back to you sooner, but we are available by phone / in person 6 days a week, and you can usually reach my on cell phone 24/7.

    I'm still here. :) Welcome to the forum!

    PM coming your way. Thanks!

    Thank you! :)

    The 16x8" / -25mm offset Five Star fitment (which is what NYCO is referring to below) is very aggressive with stock suspension. In my opinion 16x8" / -25mm offset is too aggressive to use with stock suspension, and works best with 1.75"+ lift in the front and at least 265/75R16 tires.

    The 17x8.5" / -6mm offset Five Star fitment is not too aggressive to use with stock suspension, but would also work better / look better with at least a 1.75" lift in the front and 265/70R17 tires. If you were to use the wheels with 265/70R17 tires and stock suspension you would have rubbing on the front mud flaps, front fender liner (Pre-2012 front fender liner, and just the small aero flap on 2012+ Tacoma), and possibly the inside corners of the front bumper and front over fender (easy fix with minor trimming or rolling with heat gun). You will not rub the chassis / frame at all with 265/75R16 or 265/70R17.

    Thanks for the tips! You are exactly right.

    Thank you too for your input and tips too! The fitment will be very, very similar between the 17x8" / -10mm offset Countersteer Type X and the 17x8.5" / -6mm offset Five Stars.

    Sweet! Just give me a call if you have any questions. :)

    I'm here. :) Always available at the shop or via phone : (951)735-1100 / cell: (714)390-9387. Sorry I've been unable to get on the forum for a few weeks, but I am always here for you guys whenever you need to ask me anything.

    More pics! I think the 17" wheel on a nice tire is the best looking size with the long beds.

    Awesome! We'd love to see more photos / high res photos! Thank you for ordering your Five Stars!

    Agreed! 17" / 18" looks great on the long beds.

    You can definitely order from our preferred Canadian distributor:

    Kyle - kgeorge@cochranetoyota.com
    Darcy - derickson@cochranetoyota.com


    Cochrane Toyota - Parts Department
    http://www.cochraneservice.com/parts-department
    TOLL FREE: 1-877-227-1314
    8 River Heights Dr.
    Cochrane, Alberta T4C 0N8

    They provide excellent customer service and very, very competitive pricing for our Canadian customers. If I can help you with any questions at all just let me know.

    Glad you like them! Looking forward to seeing more photos! :) Thanks again for your order!

    Yes, no problem! Just give us a call at (951)735-1100 or call/text me : (714)390-9387.

    PM reply sent! Thanks!

    Thank you! PM sent to you as well. Unfortunately we are sold out (until late June) of the 16x8" matte bronze, but I have anthracite light gunmetal or matte black in stock, and I also have 17" Five Stars in stock in matte bronze (or anthracite light gunmetal or matte black).

    Thank you!:bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

    Thanks Isaac! I'm doing my best, but still not ready to put someone else on the forums to answer questions yet. Sometimes I am unable to reply quickly to the forum messages, but I am ALWAYS available for you guys via phone / text. (951)735-1100 is the FN Wheels office #, and (714)390-9387 is my cell.
