FirstToy, they are same wheel as Lance.

bulldog-yota, they are loud! They're quite not balance either. I get vibrations at freeway speed. I will have to bring it back to the dealer Monday to have it checked.

anthraciterunner, I have the second or third lightest tint. I think it was 30% (the lower the % the lighter the tint). Don't go to dark. Make it lighter than the rear and you should be okay.

waskillywabbit, I will have to do this during the next few days. Thanks for the suggestion.

Actually, the rubbing was not that bad. I had to remove about half the inner liners. The tires barely made contact with the bottom corner of the bumper, and did not rub the fender above the running boards.

I trimmed the bumper and fender above the running boards in consideration of rubbing during off camber situations. I highly suggest anyone to at least trim these two locations with setup similar to mine.

Timber, those wheels look great on a 4th Gen... I tried a set on my 3rd Gen and wasn't all that impressed (with the look). For anyone interested, I have a "like new" set for sale.

Wow, your ride looks cool.
What amount of backspacing do your wheels have now.
I am looking to put 15x8 Rockcrawlers w/32x12.50x15's on my prerunner. I want to know what backspacing would work with this combo. Does anyone have info on this or have this setup already?

Thanks for any help.

What truck do you have?

I have 4.5" backspacing on these wheels. For the 4th gen, don't go with less backspacing than this. I have evaluated that for this setup, you should go between 5.0" and 4.5" backspacing. Most wheels are 4.5", so you don't have a lot of other choices.

I have an '03 Tacoma SR5 Prerunner, 2wd Std cab stepside. I have the Daystar 1" spacers up front and Bilsteins all around. The steel wheels and tires are stock issue, I believe 265-75-16's. The price difference from Metric to non-Metric is quite substantial.

I am planning to do a change soon.

Thanks for the reply.

Timber-
Hey, I havent been around much lately...popped on today and saw pics of your ride. Looks very sick man! I hope you are happy, cause that is one dope ride for sure. Just glad Nitrous Enterprises could be part of your project. We are hitting full production within the next 6-8 weeks, so keep your eyes peeled, as well as inform us of any of your 4th gen desires, etc.

My personal 03' runner is nearing the end of its complete overhaul. To make a long story short, a ton of extras have been yanked, a black metallic paint scheme has been worked into the mix, and the 37" toyo M/T's go on tues. No intent here to steal your thread bro...my bad.

Keep up the good work. If you as well as anyone else are looking for pan hard drop brackets, shoot me a PM or email. Enjoy your sunday all. Oh yeah, I just wanted to make sure it was ok with you if we put a pic or two of your ride on our new webstie design that is in the works...lemme know. Thanks.

Billy
