Wheel Specs are in Post #23. Tires are PSS - 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 back. The rears are .6" larger in OD than stock. The fronts are the same OD as stock.

There is a set currently on eBay (but, powder coated black)

The center caps look wrong also.

Thanks guys! I was always a major fan of the original samurai F wheels until these came out. Had the 'gotta have em' bug since the first time I saw the GSF.

I have the GSF wheels on a White Starfire Pearl ISF. They look amazing! Once I saw them on a white GSF, I knew it was gonna look fantastic!!

I just installed them yesterday. Now dealing with the TPMS issues. According to Discount Tire the TPMS on the GSF is not compatible with the ISF. Has anyone dealt with this yet? Short of changing the TPMS sensors there has to be another work around... Thx

^^ That's what I'm understanding too from reading thru a couple threads, is that the GSF and RC-F TPMS sensors aren't compatible to the ISF. I have some RC-F wheels in the garage that i'm waiting to put on after i get some new sensors ordered.
You can do the "TPMS in a can/bottle" thing but its not what i would personally do.

Gonna get ceramic coating done on them soon....
Also got the IDs off the TPMS from discount. Going to attempt to load them via TechStream.
If that does not work I will be buying new sensors..

Well less than a week into having them mounted I an noticing some rubbing on the sidewalls under the fender on the back "not surprised" AND the front "even though there is a sizable gap". Be aware of this is you end up swapping. Now I need to decide how to deal with it.

^^^^The front (gap as you call it) is the same as stock wheel/tire combo).. The 225/40/19 stock size and the 255/35/19 tire you are now running have the same OD, 26". The stock RCF tires you are running in the rear are 275/35/19 and are .6" larger in OD than stock, 26.6" vs 26.0".

I am running 255/35/19 in front and noticing no additional gap. I am happy with the extra width of the wheel, handling and more flush with the fender line. I am running 295/30/19 in back, same OD as stock, and did have lots of rubbing until I rolled the rear fenders flat. I now have occasional rubbing when I take a bump going to fast or when I have two people in the back seat. Otherwise no issues.
