Ok i see everyone with different wheel sizes and all that.
I want to do the tundra brake upgrade..i dont want to run spacers and i want to get a 17" in wheel.
What is the perfect wheel size for this...backspacing and offset.
I want to order new wheels asap...

It really all depends on what look and wheel you are going for. 17's come commonly in 17x8, but can be 17x9, 17x8.5 and 17x7.5. I would say stick with 7.5, 8, and 8.5 since the 9 is a bit wide for my personal preference. Also I'd go with a wheel with backspacing from 3.75-4.5. That will just depend on where you want the wheel to end up. Since you are LT and have fiberglass flares I would use 4.0 backspacing and a 17x8 wheel. Or if you want local I would go with these wheels. Stealth Custom Series Stealth 6 group buy - Tacoma World Forums The gunmetal would look awesome and Vin is a great guy.
 
No problem. I've seen them in person and they are extremely nice wheels. Vin also stands behind his work. Hopefully they will work out for you.
 
I'm getting 17x9 with a -12 offset Level 8 Strike 6. That equals out to a 4.5" backspacing. There's a chart that's very useful I have saved. When I get home I'll post it up.
I think that size gives the best stance, no spacers needed, an clears 231mm brakes.
 
Here is that chart I was talking about. I've seen it around a few times. Tacoma world has a few good threads on tires and wheels...pretty helpful.
