SCS F5 vs Gen5, it's time to vote!!!

What is the lift on this truck?

 

Thanks! The 42607-0c091 TPMS sensors were correct for my 2019 TRD Sport.

 

I ordered a set today, matte jet black for my 21 Tundra(army green). I was super torn on color because bronze sure looks great with the greens in my opinion. Should be here Feb 02, and will be mounted on 03. I'll post pic when when mounted so can get some color variations here. Everyones truck looks great! I love the simplicity, and weight.

Also, is anyone looking into center cap options? I scoured the internet, and I know for certain, I would prefer one, and will have to come up with something.

 

I found this on Facebook. Not sure if they work with the tundra wheels but assuming the are a 108mm bore it should work.

 

Waiting for my trailer up sell or tax return to show up before I get mine. Can’t wait!

 

Those are pretty clean. I've seen a couple options like this floating around. Do we know if the center bore is the same?

 

I checked with the seller. You would need to confirm that opening size. He said they were made for the 17x9 wheel.

 

Got mine installed earlier today. They look great but are rubbing with 295/70s at full lock, so a bit frustrated as I have both the Westcott lift plus JBA UCAs, the latter I shouldn't even need. Going to find an off-road shop to align it as I'm hoping I can eliminate the rub with more caster. I need like a damn 1/4" forward.

 

Everything I read it points to not needing a BMC with a 295/70/18 setup for your tires. What type of tires did you get? Is it rubbing the front plastis inner fender?

 

I am getting mines installed next week.

 

I need to look again tomorrow. It was rubbing the stock mudflaps, which I was replacing with RokBlokz anyway, but it hit those too. I pulled the flaps off for now but it's still catching somewhere at full lock as I was backing into my driveway - probably fender liner. I don't see a need for BMC as it's still a bit away from the mount. Tires are Nittos. This is a pretty tried and true set up even at stock Pro height, so I'm at a bit of a loss here...

 

Yeah that’s odd there rubbing with 295’s where others with SCS wheels and 295’s not rubbing. If I put 295’s on my SCS wheels in the spring I’m doing a test fit before I have them mounted.

 

Glanced just now and it looks like there are some witness marks on the passenger side where the front spats used to be. So, I suppose I can fix that with the CB shims then hopefully push the caster enough to resolve the mudflap rubbing as I really don't want to run it without flaps. Guess I'll just continue to throw money at it...

 

Hey Brett, Any pics?

 

Opening size is slightly larger on tundras. I have Gen5s on a 4runner and checked this morning.

 

Heres the matte jet black wheels. Currently maybe 2.5 inches lifted in the front, and nothing but stock in the rear(adding 1 inch when it warms up). 295/70/18 Michelin Defenders for tires. Just adding this so people have more variations to view. Super bright cold day, so kind of washed pic.

 

Mine just came in today going on a 275/70/18 Cooper Discover ATP II with no level. Wanted to go E for towing and off road stoked to see the weight difference from stock steelies with HT.

Edit looks like the new setup will only weigh 2 pounds more per wheel. Not too shabby.

 

Do these not come with center caps or are they not used for another reason? Just curious.

 

No center caps.

 

Thank you.

 

That’s what makes them look so bad.

 

I understand they are for locking hubs on older style vehicles. There are companies that make center caps for these if its really the only reason. I prefer the more basic look and weight.

 

Hey Nick, do you know of anyone? I've been looking like crazy for a perfect fit one. I will eventually figure something I like and modify though, I'm sure. I'd rather just buy centercaps, though.

 

I love the look of the F5 and will be getting them when my current tires wear down. Do any members have additional pictures of the F5 mounted? This thread definitely needs more pictures.

 

I know liftd customs makes some and I know there are a few Etsy shops that will make them. If you google it a few show up. I prefer the Etsy ones as they look pretty clean.

You might need to reach out and send the measurements to them as these haven’t been around that long. Just a thought.

 

My fav wheels for the gen 3

 

Looks amazing

 

Just knock the rust of the rear hub, paint it black, gray or whatever and put the wheels on. A cap really does not add anything but some bling. 35x12.5s

 

can you add a close shot of the rear wheel on the gen 3? thinking this would look good on blueprint trd off road 1794 but can't decide gunmetal or bronze! glad this wheel got produced Vin
