FS: 16x8" Five Star Wheels - New Wheel from FN Wheels

New wheels are on. They're even better in person!

 

What you got for lift?

 

Not totally sure on how much I have but up front I have OME 887's on some 5100's set at 0. Since I have the front bumper and winch I'm thinking I'm right around 2.5" over stock. I have some home made leave springs in the back that utilize leafs from chevy 63's as well as stock tacoma leafs and I figure that with 0 weight in the bed they would give me around 4" of lift. With all the weight I have from the topper and RTT I think it rides at about 3" over stock.

 

Is it possible to get a set of these in Canada?

 

Yes. Tacomatown sells them. They are out of Alberta. Good folks to deal with.

 

Awesome, thanks man!

About to pull the trigger on these wheels. What do you guys think of running the bronze with the gray truck?

 

Finally got them on! Crappy pics but it's the best I can do for today.

 

I'm feeling bronze.

 

I picked up the 16s with -25 offset and I had my buddy paint them. The tires are 265/75r16 MT. Much more stable then stock presumably from the wheel being 1 inch wider. I love them. Let the haters hate lol

 

At around 12 lbs lighter than a 17 stock wheel, these will help with acceleration and mpg. I've got a set of the countersteer offroads in 16 coming and can't wait.

 

I tested out the fit last night. If you get to the point that the other side is in the air the compressed side will hit the lip of the fender rather than tuck into the wheelwell. No surprise here. I'm going to need some bumpstops lol

 

Looks great Frivolous4x4! What tires are those?

 

Thanks! The tires are "Radar Renegade R5 MT" 265/75r16. I had never heard of them either but so far so good

 

Finally got them installed.

245/75/16 Bronze 0-offset

Thanks FN Wheels!

 

Looking great! Me gusta!

 

Anyone running these with 255/85/16? I'm nearing time for new tires. I've been running 265/75/16. I appreciate the way the truck handles and rolls in turns now vs before having the wider track. That said, I wish the tires didn't stick out from under the fenders so far. I'd like a more in-line look for my truck. If I go 255/85, will my truck just look like a mud buggy?

 

As far as that tire size in particular I don't know but I can tell you the wheels are available with a negative offset that's what I have that sticks out or is 0 offset which is more in line like you're talking about

 

I already have the wheels (2+ years), but I've been running them on 265/75/16. I appreciate the better road handling that comes with a wider stance, but I don't appreciate the way the tires stick out so far from the fenders.

 

Thanks for that pic from the back. It showed the offset angle I was looking for. Now I know that I need 0 - offset. A negative offset would have them sticking out a bit further, correct?
