    So I got the 17" MR149 with falken wild peaks.
    The front did rub on the stock mud flap, honestly I don't understand how any mud flap can take up less room than the factory one the way it is form it. But I probably need to find a solution to put mud flaps back on the front.

    Looks good! I left my front stock mud flap on and thought it'll fix itself when it wears down from the rubbing. :thumbsup:

    Little off topic, but shop just put on some MR150's. I didn't think to ask at the time and my search-foo is weak this morning. Anybody know the torque spec for them?

    I had rubbing initially in the front, but not anymore after doing the following:
    1. Remove factory mud flap.
    2. Use heat gun to soften fender liner in the corner where it rubs.
    3. While plastic is hot… use something flat (like a small 2x4 block) to push it in. Hold it for 30 seconds and the plastic doesn’t interfere anymore with oversized tires.
    4. I then ditched the factory mud flaps and installed Rekgen Mud Flaps. See pics earlier in this thread. Zero rubbing any time. I’ve wheeled with this setup and haven’t had any issues either.

    Wheels don’t have torque specs. The lug nut spec on 3rd gen Tacoma’s are around 90 lb. ft. Maybe a little less, but that should be fine.

    Thanks to this thread for helping me pull the trigger on the MR149 in 17". Now got to order lugs and either swap my tires or find a good deal on newish ones.

    Which lugs did you end up going with? Been looking through lug threads and I figured it'd be easier to just ask what's worked for others haha

    I didn't either, I ordered mine from Walmart which was fulfilled by 4WheelOnline. I'd recommend ordering from somewhere else. Shipping took almost 2 weeks from Cali to Missouri.

    Looks like Summit carries them as well, I should of ordered from there.
