    Hey guys,
    First post here. I have an 03 Tundra AC trd. I currently have 8.5 x 16 rims on 285/16 tires. King Coilovers w/ TC UCA's. These were on the truck when I bought it. Don't know the offset of the rims. The truck has factory fender flares and the tires aren't even flush with the front fenders. Got the sucked in look. Looking for new rims from either SCS, FN or Method. Most of these come in 8" w/ 4.5" offset and a few come in 4" and even 3.5" offset. What am I looking at to get the best look regarding the position of the fenders. Thanks.

    Wheels I'm considering:
    SCS Ray10
    Method 702
    FN f5

    285/75/r16 on Factory ‘Patricks’. The Sweet Spot. Recco finding some of these rims as they increase the trucks value by a couple thousand.

    they say 4.5 is the sweet spot for backspace on these trucks with 285’s. I got an 06 double cab currently on 265/75/16’s with method 304 double standards (4.5 backspace w/ offset). The tires still set inside of the flares. The flares on these trucks are massive. I’m currently wheel spacer shopping. There’s a dude on here running same spec methods and wheel spacers and the stance looks awesome.

    I agree with the 4.5” bs. I have F-5s and love them. Running 285/75/16. Wheel tucks nicely, zero rubbing, and doesn’t stick past the flares.

    Aim for 4" backspace. SCS are very nice.
