would running a spacer alievate this problem?

that knock-off looks pretty close to the volks, but still a knock-off. rota- king of knock-offs.

trd fj 16" looks better and cheaper, at 550.

Probably... But I've read about several folks that had problems with spacers - wobbling, studs breaking, etc. I think you would try to avoid spacers especially if you're buying custom wheels.

Also, I'm guessing that you're getting these wheels because they are lightweight. Adding spacers adds rotational mass. Defeats the purpose so to speak. The problems I read about were associated with lighter aluminum spacers. You'd probably have to go with the conventional heavier steel ones. You need to do more research into those.

The folks you ordered from should know about your application and whether or not the +11 offset will fit. I didn't realize what backspacing the +11 offset would translate to. I expressed my concern about the offset in this thead and the others on CT from the get-go.

In my earlier post, I mentioned that the +11 offset will sit within the fender flare a tad, which is still better than stock... This is true IF there is enough clearance between the edge of the wheel and the suspension components to accomodate the quarter inch additional clearance required with the 5" backspace as compared with the stock 4.75." Last time I looked it was pretty tight.

If you already ordered a set, I would call the folks you placed the order with and ask if they need any additional measurements.

1. Move the truck in a position in which you can measure the distance between your stock spokes and the caliper. Find out how much caliper clearance you have with the stock wheels.

2. Turn the wheel all the way to the side so that you can measure the distance between the back edge of the tire to the suspension components at the point most likely to contact if your wheel was more inset. Is there more than a quarter inch of clearance?

3. Measure the distance your caliper protrudes off the rotor. Thinking about the design of the wheel further, with the concave face of the Rotas, I don't think caliper clearance will be an issue...

Hopefully it works out!

Mine has LT285/75R16 tires on 16x8 wheels with offset = 0 and backspacing = 4". The rear tires are flush with the fender flares while the fronts are a bit inside the fender flares.

HTH.

good news i just recieved my wheels heres a picture! Good news no rubbing or fitment issues its accept the massive 13wl tundra caliper!




These 16"wheels weigh in at exacltly 20lbs



If anyone is interested in buying a set. Let me know these are very rare. I recieved the only set in nor cal.

Damn, those look really good! Post pics when you get the tires on. I'd like to see some angle shots too so I can see how much they are inset.

Nice! What you planning on doing with the old rims?

Those look very nice Kevin.

Please confirm the weight of the wheels on your bathroom scale when possible. NM - I just saw that they weigh 20 lbs.

where are you getting quoted 550?

I had heard the rota's wouldn't fit toyota calipers w/o spacers, guess they were wrong.

Lightweight wheels... How about some lighter lugs?

Best to double check the application... Pretty sure ours is a 12x1.5. The stock shank/washer style lugs are necessary for the stock wheels - no lightweight lugs available unfortunately. With aftermarket wheels, you have more options. When my wheels arrive I'll be looking at getting something similar to the following:

Our trucks require 24 lugs... which makes it difficult to locate a set. If you're interested, we can each buy a 20 set, and split one set of 16 lugs. Just need to confirm the style lugs and make sure they fit our rims. Let me know.

Don't forget about tire weight.
