So the rims themselves didn’t fit flush against the hubs? Aside from running 35’s, in theory the rims should fit, correct? There are tonnes of members running Method 305 NV with the same wheel spec. 18x9 +25mm/6” backspacing.
What's the latest on SCS wheels for the 100 series? (2 Viewers)

NV305 has a hub bore of 114mm so the wheel is not "Hubcentric". Also the NV305 have a push through (from back side) hub cap covers vs press fit from the front. They fit, but you have to tighten/torque the wheel lugs with wheel off the ground.
SCS claims all of their wheels but the F5 will not fit on a LC or locking hubs.

Disclaimer for F5
any machine shop can remove the lip easily. I had it removed. The ray10s are my favorite wheels on the 100 series.
They look real good! You talking the lip on the hub or the rim?
The wheel
what about running a spacer, would that get the wheel enough away from the hub to not have to machine, and still get the center cap on??
What size F5's? What size/dimension KO2's? Lift height?
What size F5's? What size KO2's? Lift height? Looks great.
In the past F5s only came in 16 - there are talks of 17 and 18s in the future but right now all 5x150 F5s are 16”
Tires are 295/75r16
Lift at the time was OME 865 about 1.5”
Hope this helps.
Btw - these days I’m running a similar style 17” so shop around - SCS Wheels can be difficult to source. GL
The thing to consider with SCS F5s is the wheel weight (18.6 lbs) compared to other wheels that may be 5 lbs or heavier.
If you are into keeping rotating mass (e.g. unsprung weight) to a minimum for handling benefits, then SCS F5s may be worth considering. I was able to keep the wheel and tire weight to 72.5 lbs with 285/75R16 mud tires. Stock LX470 chrome finish wheels with Nitto Terra Grapplers weighed in around 75lbs. It's a personal preference thing that I want to keep wheel and tire weight at or below 75 lbs per wheel.
Many years ago, I got spoiled with some lightweight forged Fittipaldi racing wheels. It was a good experience that I've never been able to forget.
If you would like to get plugged into direct information about SCS wheels, there is a thread on Tacoma World where inventory updates are posted.
Getting into a set of SCS wheels came easy since I am tightly wound with Tacoma World. I can't blame SCS for target marketing to a prospective truck group with multiple millions of units on the road.

If you are one of those people who are concerned about rotational mass and all that goes with it. Here's a thread where wheel pound counters hash it out.

everything else the same, does a 5lb lighter wheel make you go faster?
Does acceleration feel faster? How much faster is it really? Any significant mpg increase city driving with 5lb less on each corner? Any experiences and data is appreciated. I'm trying to decide whether I want to spend the money on some avus wheels I know someone is selling. I'm currently...
Is there a reason why not a lot of guys run 17’s? I’m in the market for 100 series.. or 80 series if the price right. I’m doing my research for the past 3 months
Likely due to availability . . . 16s or 18s seem more prevalent.
Really like these. What brand are they?
You are too humble brother, only difference is mine is 18”s (less rubber on 33s tires) but yours is actually more badarse than mine.
This looks perfect to me.
