Did you have the stock tin skid plates (gravel guards) powdercoated?? UNless you did it yourself, you could have used the money to buy proper skids that will actually protect your vehicle....
Id think they would suggest just going with the 18s. I called a few local wheel repair shops and not one of them would take it on.
The SCS look closer to a Face 1 V, that's for sure.
These are the face 2.. not a huge lip, but you only get that with 0 or negative offsets.
The 17s are drilled for 12mm lugs, so they need to be drilled out...
I paid $2500 Cdn delivered
Bradley also offers the V in a high offset wheel.

You just send them a message with what you are looking for and purchase the Amazon listing. He sent a complete drawing with the approriate info.
Basically you need: 95.1-110mm...
It will be louder, with both intake hissing and likely the blowoff valve. (Or recirculation valve, whatever you want to call it) Im sure there will be a few coming out, its whether or not the small gain are worth the money.
I went with 275/60/20 General Artic Grabbers. No snow to try them out yet, but Im sure they will be fine. Dont usually notice a huge difference between tires, as I cant really test them back to back. Got a decent deal for the set, so figured Id try them out.
Installed the Amazon ones and they worked fine...took a few mins to adjust.
My only suggestion if you are a little OCD, out tape over the hood bolts as the white paint scuffs easily.
The First Edition has lights in the tailgate, while no other models do for 2024. Just wondering if the wiring is there, or just added for that model. Toyota often uses a standard wiring harness, so the wiring could potentially be tucked away there..
Probably too late to get an answer, but did yours come with the tailgate lighting? If not, any chance you noticed extra plugs under the panel for lighting? (Assuming thats the sub wiring hanging down)
You can check wait times with Greenlane for theirs.. Aluminum, but very stout. Very similar in price to the Toyota ones, and I would venture to say tougher.
Worth noting... I spent ~$1800 usd ($2500 cdn) shipped for my Bradley Vs via Nengun, but I do know there was a slight price bump at the end of Sept. The 18x8.5 et 20s were $477 Cdn ($340 usd) per wheel plus shipping, shipping was just under $500 cdn and arrived in 3 days!
Few companies that make them already.... Problem is the wheels arent designed to stop at the fenders, they are designed to go inside. You would need to either cut the fenders to allow for the movement or limit the up travel of the suspension.
I went with the 18x8.5, 20et in Bronze. I preordered (wheels hadnt started production yet) on September 10th and wheels estimated ship date was October 24th. Ended up shipping September 24th and landed in Calgary September 26th via UPS, which was their cheapest shipping option. I cleared...
Majority of wheels are hub centric, so I go out of my way to get proper hub rings to make sure the wheel is seated 100%. You can get a proper seat by just using the lugs, but for a small cost Id rather have it 100% everytime without question. Used hub rings on all of my prevous Japanese wheels...
