My wheel debate.

Im looking around for aftermarkets in that same style but with different backspacing. If anybody else finds anything let the OP know because it would be a cheaper and likely easier route!

Yea it seems easier to just get an aftermarket set. I'm not entirely stuck on 17s, just figured that would ensure the tundra brakes would clear. Only definite I have is black wheels with enough bs to not rub the frame /uca with 285s and more aggressive tire. The at3s are a good tire, but I just prefer a bit more clean out ability.

I bought the ARP wheel studs for Lexus. They're expensive but they're the best. They only come in one length so I cut mine down. You can use open ended lug nuts if you want but these are really long.
Amazon.com: ARP 1007715 Wheel Stud Kit for Lexus: Automotive
The rear studs don't fit, the knurl dia. is different ( i know efn retarded)

My mechanic put them in while I was getting my wheels mounted & balanced. An air chisel will get them out & you can pull the new ones in with some washers & a lug nut. He cut the new studs to length on a band saw. This was labor that I had no problem paying for! LOL
I bought 1.5" spacers from Sixity on e-bay, same 6011 Alum as Spidertrax.

Does that kit come with 5 studs? ...so I would need 3 kits to do 2 wheels?
 
OK, going to get these

Level 8 MK6 custom rims

But should I get the 0 offset or the -10. I'll be running cooper maxx 285/75/16s and need to make sure the miss the uca, clear tundra brakes, and tuck into the fender when stuffed. Anyone have and advice?
 
I'd like to think, since they are 8" not 8.5" wide, the 0 offset should be ok. But if I were you, I'd search for the wheel offset thread and read through it. You might want to ask there, if you don't see what you need.

I have Level 8 Mk6 16 inch -10 offsets sitting in my garage waiting to install. I will let you know how they fit (itll be in my build thread) and if you need i could send you clearance pictures. I got them in bronze, GREAT looking wheels in person! BTW 0 offset 16" mk6s DO fit, idk about tundra brakes though. Saw it on somebody elses rig.

Yea I'd appreciate some pictures. I'm probably going to go with the -10s as well. According to the tundra brake upgrade, the mk6s fit, but it doesn't state if they need to be 0 or -10. I'd prefer a wider stance as long as they would still be able to be stuffed without hitting the fenders.
 
Which offset puts the wheel further from the body of the truck? (sticks further out?) positive or negative? I'm planning to run either 34" or 35" x 11"ish tires and am looking for a set of wheels. I'd prefer not to use spacers if possible but I don't understand the offsets exactly.

More negative offset puts the wheel further out from the center of the vehicle.

*ETA: I should say, greater negative offset puts the rim/tire further out from the center of the vehicle.

Awesome, thank you!

I'm going to either cut/rool my fenders or just do fiberglass fenders so that part isn't a big concern for me.
