Ok, good to know. Tundra steelies added to the list.

Quick self-hijack: Hey Trump, good to see you on here. Not sure if you remember but I met you outside the Miramar food court a couple years ago. I think you asked me about my CBI Offroad bumper and I was checking out your homemade RTT rack. It's cool how small the community is sometimes.

Ha! Small world... Are you still on Miramar? I haven't crossed paths with you in a long time now. I'll be taking the truck for its weekly trip to work this afternoon if you want to see the clearance on the calipers for yourself.

I'm running 1st gen Tundra 16x7 Steel Wheels on my 1st gen Tacoma with 265/75/16 BFG AT KO's, they are the same backspacing as my stock Tacoma 16x7 steel spoke wheels with 265/75/16 Dunlop Rover HT's. They fit the same, rub the same, and ride the same. I put a wanted ad on the local craigslist with a photo of 1st gen Tundra wheels and had two emails by the next day, I wound up buying mine from one of those guys that same day for about half as much as the more popular 17" FJC Steelies were going for around here, plus they were already wrapped in the BFG AT's and had decent tread, so I really scored. I plan to run 255/85/16's on mine as well, but I'll probably add some Spidertrax wheel spacers to widen the stance a bit.

Funny, I'm searching for Tundra Steelies for my Tundra. Not easy to find! Look great by the way.

They are out there! I found a set of the twisted 5 spoke Tundra steelies for like $40 the other day. Thinking of grabbing those to replace my stock split 3 spoke steelies that are wrapped in my other set of tires. The split 3 spokes are downright hideous.
