16 inch alloys on new sr5

Postby Big Damo on Wed, 16 Mar 2022 9:21 +0000

Hi guys,
Has anyone managed to find a 16 inch alloy that will fit an sr5? I presume brake clearance is the only factor. Looking for something chunky, in matt black. Manufacturers have been uncertain and Toyota are useless obviously.
Looking at donning 265/75R16 in an AT.
Cheers

Hope the link works I have a few pics and comments on my rims unfortunately I don’t think you can buy these anymore last time I checked.

To be clear I know it says 17” but I made comment about my 16” rims.

Thanks for that. They look awsome and exactly what I'd be after. Seems not to be available in Matte Black anymore :(. If I'm reading your comment correctly, mounting 265/75/16 even with a lift (I'm looking at a 40-50mm ARB lift with BP51s) I might get a bit of scrub on compression? What a shame.
Its starting to look like I might just be better off using the sr5 18s it comes with and destoying them and replacing them with 17s when the time is right. Thanks for your reply Myralga

The right offset will get you in the right position and prevent the majority of scrubbing issues.
I just have the wrong offset for the vehicle (don’t quote me but I think they are Neg 12) pushing the tire out a lot and therefore back and forward a lot while turning.
I have done some chopping and generally speaking I don’t have trouble with them unless I get a real bounce up.

I think the problem would be that if you changed offset to pull them in a bit more it might get rid of scrubbing but would start interfering with brakes, the reason they are N12 is probably to give them some clearance?? Oh well back to the old drawing board!
