Can someone help me find 16x8 black steel rims with 3.75 or 3.50 bs??

Preferably on 4wp.com..Im looking to get some black steel rims because I want to lose my wheel spacers on my 01 4runner. I have 315/75 tires. Ive been told that 3.75 bs but cant find them in 16x8..Is that what I need? Please someone steer me in the right direction. I feel like a noob lol.

I don't think that will work. I think I will still need wheel spacers for that and i'm trying to get rid of mine all together.

You can grind down your UCAs instead. I'll bet those 4WP rims that scuba suggested on the other forum may come in black, I'd call them and ask. Someone's gotta make some black steelies for $40 or $50 that have 3.75 BS. Otherwise, go to 15" if you don't already have R16 tires bought. 15" rims are cheaper and generally easier to find in all kinds of BS'ing. The tires are cheaper for 15" too. Just some thoughts.

Why 4WP preferably? I would go with whoever, 4WP kinda sucks IMO. Not their products, them.

You're fast Elton, you squeezed those shaved UCAs in there before I realized I was repeating you. SS stuff is great, but those are easy to grind yourself and save the $$.

Only reason 4wp is because I can get pro comp black steelies for 306 shipped to my door. I called today and I agree the customer service on phone kinda sucks but cant argue with the price. I already have 315/75/16 MTZ and I just got them a couple months ago.

No, actually w/ 315s you're still probably going to rub the UCAs w/ only 4" bs. I was trippin. The SS UCAs may work though, dunno.

Maybe search for some 16x9 or 16x10 wheels w/ 3.75 bs. Those will work w/ your 315s too.

quarter in spacers from wheelersoffroad.... or go with the procomp alum wheels on there that are 16x8 with 4in bs and then add the spacers... and then you can do the tundra brake swap.... i bought 5 blackrock 16x7 with 4.25in bs and i'm selling them because i can't do the brake swap AND because i want a fatter tire on there... i'm actually doin the pro comps on wheelersoffroad and tundra brake swap once i get back from deployment

Thank you for that helpful info. Guess its just a way to get the post count up? I dont understand why people have to come in here and act all big and bad. I asked a question of where I can get something and get replies like quit whining and run em. No wonder why I rarely get on YT. Once again, Thanks.

I was going to mention the MTs too. I also have not seen anything with that bs. Summit has a few others in the 3.5-3.625 range, but no black.

4wp has 2.5

Too much?
