Thinking of bringing some 16 & 17 inch wheels to market (1 Viewer)

[Qtonic]

@Alibaster I like it. Just like I'm thinking of. You happen to know what page on the tundra wheel thread that was from?

So basically that in 16x8 with +60 factory offset? Initially I'll be limited in what I can bring in, so narrowing down the few specific sizes is important. I figure there might be one relatively common size like 16 ~factory that adds new style and color options, then a couple 'off-sizes' that hit just the right specs for fitment that don't currently exist.

 

[Alibaster]

Yeah, if I had my way it'd be 16" and have the factory offset. The only issue would be those giant center caps. I'm no wheel expert so I don't know what goes into to eliminate the bump. Probably wheels thickness or some jazz. I like the flush look of those ones.

200 Series and Tundra wheels on 100 series photo thread

I keep seeing a similar question - If a rim fits a 2007 100 series it will fit a 1998. Yes 16" rims were factory from 98 - 02 and 18' from 03 - 07 but rims are interchangeable throughout the years. Any 07 and newer Tundra / Land cruise rim will fit - the center caps might require some trimming...

How about a 16x7" wheel with a proper offset to run 255's without looking dorky?

You could try the OE 70 series alloy wheels. 16x7 and I believe zero offset. But yeah, something in the +10 to 25mm offset would probably be more ideal.

Shops won't mount a 305 wide tires on 8" wide rim, ended up getting 18x9 ET +30 and running 305/65/18. I would love to run a 295/70/17 on a 17x8.5" rim if i could.

I don't see why they wouldn't. Most 305's are approved for 8" wheels according the the manufacturers.

I think the ICON six speed wheel (17x8.5 25mm offset) is a great size and it'll fit LC100, 200 and Tundras.

The market that is unfulfilled is the 16x8 (or 8.5) +25 to +35mm offset. But this wheel size will likely only fit the LC100.

So my vote would be these two sizes:

16x7 +20mm offset (perfect for the 255/85R16 crowd)

16x8 (or 8.5), +35mm offset to appease the 285/75R16 and 315/75R16 folks

You need to make sure and get Tundra/200 brake clearance.

17x8.5 30 to 40 would be if I was to build a wheel.

For safety reasons most shops won't mount 305 on an 8" wide rim, they require at least 9" wide. Might just be my local tire place but that's what i've heard from other people as well. A mom and pop gas station might mount it for you but not a chain store.

I want a wheel that is lighter than the oem 16s. Just sayin.

The wheels are not a problem, it was never a problem, it's the tires that weigh it down. My tires weigh more than twice my wheel's weight, and i'm running 18s!

I would be very interested in a STEEL OEM-look rim in 16x7. Factory utility-box grey.

For a 255/85r16 tire on a 7" rim to keep factory scrub you will need a +53mm offset as per calculations below. One should always match to factory scrub radius for proper steering geometry and bearing moments.

make these guys their utilitarian looking 16" steel wheel.

Steel wheels?

Is there anyone in the US selling new steel wheels for the 100 series? Looking for 16", but could have arm twisted to go a bit bigger. I'm looking at new tire options for a diesel 100 and bringing them in from the US appears to be the best deal. Place like tirerack are selling hideous drug...

I'm curious what you would bring to market and differentiate yourself from something like these? EVO CORSE DAKARZERO 17"x8" TOYOTA TUNDRA, LAND CRUISER 200 Series ET: 40

 

[Alibaster]

Well those are what $340 each? And 17”? And probably require spacers

How cheap do you realistically expect aftermarket wheels to be? I would definitely expect to pay $12-1500 for a set of anything quality. And without referencing every post, I think those are about the specs discussed, why would you need spacers (anyway, those are just an example, the same company also makes a set of 16" for 100s)?

Following......prefer 16" for tall skinny.....not educated enough to be more specific

Didn't mean to come off as a dick. I just mean't I'd prefer an alternative in 16" that doesn't require spacers and has a center cap. Maybe I'm too much of a miser, but I'm probably not going to spend half the purchase price of my car on wheels alone. Now if they were priced like the SCS wheels, thats very doable.

Sorry if i sounded defensive, you weren't a dick! I actually am genuinely curious what people think is reasonable, as I typically run factory wheels on everything (but sometimes upgrade to better, later model factory wheels, in some cases) so I don't have a good perspective, they all seem sort of expensive to me! Those ones I linked shouldn't require a spacer, that would be crazy to pay $1400 and still need spacers! I have no affiliation to Evo wheels, i just know they fit, look good and are popular on different Toyota models, and feel that they are a suitable benchmark for the OP to compare to.

 

[Alibaster]

People spend a lot on TRD in 17” and run spacers. I couldn’t stomach it myself.

That's true, I guess people do have to use spacers to run center caps on the Rock Warriors etc... totally seems not worth it to me

 

[Alibaster]

Agreed. I like stock wheels and their sizes. Something a little cooler looking, which is obviously top priority, wouldn't be bad. I think the SCS wheels are fantastic but I like caps for some reason.

16x9 0 offset in black and ill buy them
