New wheels or stay stock?? Ideas??

Hello everyone. I'm waiting for my 3" OME kit with dakars to arrive from fed ex for my 2005 DCSB tacoma!! . I was wondering what uall thought about stock wheels versus aftermarket? Im afraid that if I stay stock I won't be able to get a big enough tire without rubbing my UCA's. What do uall think about the fuel wheels? I'm looking at the fuel cranks. Any thoughts on these wheels? If I go with 17x9 with a 4.5 bs & -12 os will they fit my trk? Will I end up doing a lot of trimming? This is my first lift with bigger tires so forgive me if these are dumb questions as I'm a beginner--gotta start somewhere tho!! . Thanks & have a good day.

 

Also I have read a lot of different threads trying to awnser my original questions but I'm confused.... What are the hub measurements on our trucks? 106.4 bore? Lug pattern- 6 on 5.5 or 135mm or 139mm?
Any input would really help me decide what wheels to buy. Thanks.

 

Dunno the bore but I'm pretty sure pattern is 6x139

Check out fn wheels. I had the ome 885 coils on a 2014 taco n used the "6 gun" offered by fn wheels. If you get a wheel with its specs you'll b good. I had very minimal trimming.

 

Thanks jimbo331. I'm waiting on 885 coils as well. Did u use spacers with yours? Those wheels have a 4.5 bs & 0 os, did they increase ur stance or were ur wheels still tucked in the fender?

 

they tucked perfectly with those rims no spacers needed when u have 4.5 bs

 

You have to decide if you are going to be driving off road a lot . I dont suggest aftermarket rims that cause the tire to stick out of the wheel well if you plan to run dirt roads all the time . Although it looks great ,Your paint job will hate you for doing this and steering components will wear quicker . Removing the mud flaps gives the truck a lifted look but consider the paint if you plan to off road .
If I had to do it again , my first choice would be a hub centric aftermarket rim rather than a lug centric aftermarket rim .
Keep in mind that Toyota says we need to rotate our tires every 5k using the Haweka adapter and road force balanced

Ok thanks. I don't do a lot of four wheelin, just like to get up in the mountains. So if the wheels I'm interested in come in 2 different specs, which one would fit better?
They are 17x9 ( don't have a 16" wheel in this design). The lug pattern is 6 x 5.5 (& 6 x 135), with a 106.4 bore. It is available with 2 different offset combinations:
1-- 4.5 bs with a -12 os
2-- 5 bs with a +1 os
If I'm understanding all the great info that I have found on here, they should both fit-right? The 1st option will give me a wider stance but more chance of rubbing & trimming where as the 2nd option should stay tucked in a little bit more. Granite, I believe my truck stock has a +30 os, so the 2nd option will still have a wider stance than stock--correct?? Or would I be better just to try & stay with a 16" wheel?

 

I just found out that there is a 3rd offset combination in this wheel.

3-- 5.75 bs with a +20 os.
Still a 17x9 wheel. Will any of these 3 fit & if so which one would uall suggest for minimal trimming & minimal off-roading. Or like stated above-try to find a 16" wheel? Sorry, but thanks for all the help!!

 

If u are going 17x9 I would get the 4.5 bs. My tires on that truck are 11.5 wide with that spec of rim and I had about .5-.75 inches from the tire to my uca. U use more backspace on a 17x9 and u are putting that tire even closer to ur uca

 

Thanks again jimbo331. So ur thinkin the option (1) with 4.5 bs & -12 os would be the best fit for my application? 885 coils w/top plate spacers for hopefully 3" of lift in front.

 

I didn't use the top plates on mine the 885s were enough on their own. If u use both know that ur cv angles are gonna start getting pretty severe and u will probably need a diff drop. Also it's a pretty common occurance that once u are at 3" and above on lift that you might have growling issues with your cv bearings I think it is. There is a common fix that a lot of people do on here although I can't remember what it is. U can search it ur someone else might chime in here.

 

What size lift is this or what brand, beautiful look, love the wheels too.

 

Thanks it was old man emu 885s package from toytec. The wheels are "6 guns" or "6 shooters" from fn wheels 17x 9's and the tires were 285/70/17 toyo at 2's

 

Here is the link for what people have to replace with an upgraded part if they get issues. Not tryin to scare you just inform.

Good info. Thanks again.

 

No prob

 

So if I go with the fuel wheel, 17x9 with 6-5.5 lug pattern, 106.4 bore, & 4.5 bs / 12 os---- Will they fit? Will I need anything else other than new lug nuts?
If I go with a 275/70/17 tire on them will I rub on anything with a 3" lift ( UCA's, wheel well, fenders )?

 

Yep. Same bs im running but im on 16s with 285s

 

Right on, thanks. Good to know. Now just need to order them!!
