17x7.5 low offset wheels?

I'm looking to run a 255/75r17 tire on my 3rd gen Tacoma, the problem I have is finding a 17x7.5, low offset wheel. I'm aware of the 17x7 sema wheels, but the offset is too high. I would really love to find a 17x7.5, 0 or -10 offset wheel at or around $170/ea. Anybody know of anything?

I don't think any company builds a 7.5-inch aftermarket wheel in that offset range.

You'd need to 8-inch to 8.5-inch.

 

17x8
0 offset
various BS around 4.5"
that's widely available. can that work for you?

 

The 8 will work, as the tread width on a 255 is just over 8, but I'm not sure wiring down at all would be advisable with a 255 on an 8" wheel.

 

I had considered going to a 7", but I'm unsure of any 7" wheels with a low/negative offset either.

There are some hotrod style wheels you can get in 17x7 with 0 offset (I.E. Cragar SS), but I'm not sure how good they would look on the Taco.

 

4 isnt far from 0 offset, concerning the SEMAs, not likely your eye could tell the difference. The FN FX is zero offset but also wider at 8” not sure how that tire size would look on them.

 

Yes, I guess I should be more clear. In a 17x7, I would really look for a -10 or so, as I just don't think the se a wheels put the tire far enough out.

 

TRD Forged Rock Warrior wheels
Specs: 17" x 7.5" x 6mm offset, 27.3lbs.
Wheel part number PTR45-35010, requires lug part number PTR27-89100

I run them with 255/75R17 KO2s in C-load.







If you decide on that route, let me know. I have a spare new lug set for these wheels.

Edit: didn’t catch the price range requirement. These are well outside of that range.

 

Yeah, those look good, and are the correct fit, but are (imo) spendy

 

Yes they are spendy. But OEM Forged. I bought mine new in box second hand off craigslist for a good discount.

 

Wheel spacers.

 

FWIW I aired down to 8-12psi front-rear with 295/70R17s (12ish in wide) and 2010 4runner 17x7.5 wheels for several wheeling trips last summer and never had an issue; my 1st gen is a lighter truck though

 

You also have a tire that is MUCH wider than the rim, which from my.understanding helps to keep the bead seated in less than ideal conditions.

 

Correct. It is a whole different story than airing down on a narrower tire.

 

My problem here is ignorance. If I went with a SEMA wheel, could I get 1/2" of spacing? Is there a minimum? If I can't use bolt on spacers, I will need all new/extended lugs?

 

The only kind of wheel spacers that you want to run are the ones that bolt to the hub and then the wheel bolts to the spacer. You do not want to run the unsafe 'floating' spacers. The bolt on kind I think only go down to 1". If using a spacer I would stay with the stock wheels, or you are going to end up with too much offset. The SEMA wheels will place the edge of a 265 tire right flush with the fender.

 

Really? A friend has them on his 4runner, and his 275s still sit in a bit. On a 3rd gen taco I will be flush (within 5mm) with 255s?

Stock wheels are out because I have an SR, and am not interested in keeping the steel wheels.

 

That wheel/tire combo looks great on your truck!

 

Good call on not keeping the steelies.

My specs are based on a 2nd Gen Taco. So I cannot promise a 3rd Gen would be the same, but I think it would be closer than the 4runner. Didn't realize the 4runner was that much different.

My wheels have 6mm offset, but are 7.5" wide, meaning .25" (about 6mm) wider toward the fender than the 7" SEMA. The SEMAS have a 4mm offset. So then:

4mm offset -6mm offset = SEMAs offset is 2mm less (offset sticks out 2mm further)
But then the width of my wheels pushes it out 6mm, -2mm SEMA offset = 4mm further at the outer rim edge.

So my wheels stick out 4mm further than the SEMA wheels, which is less than 1/4".
