Let's see 1st gen with Toyota Rims

No shade, because I have the same wheels, but I like the old starfish on your rig. .02

 

I have one of those rims as my spare. Got it with a brand new tire from an FJ for $100. My coworker has those on his Tacoma and is thinking about getting something different. But I have the 17" snowflakes all around on mine. I may see if he'll swap with me if he does decide and then he can sell mine.

 

A nice little detail about those wheels is they protect the valve stem.

 

My wifes truck...not sure what the rims came off

 

Those are OEM, IIRC. 16x7

 

Okay I've been researching old posts for about an hour and have read the megathread, so please don't shoot me. But is there a list somewhere of what wheels are perfect plug and play without having to use spacers or adapters. I have a 2006 DC on bilstein 4600's (so stock). I'll probably go 17 inches to avoid the potential of any caliper rub? Just trying to get a list of wheels to keep an eye out for on marketplace. What I think I want is a 17 inch wheel, 106.1mm bore, 4.5 backspacing, and of course 6x139.7 bolt pattern. Thanks for any help.

 

I don’t think you’d find such a list. Mostly because tire size and aggressiveness variation is too wild of a variable to publish that, and someone would make the mistake of putting a really wide tire on, rubbing, and get pissed it don’t fit. Or put on some super aggressive mud terrain (M/T) and rub, and again, get pissed because it worked for the guy using regular road tires in OEM size.

You really just need to do your homework, and I’m not saying that with snark or condescension. Know what the backspace and width of the wheels you’re looking at are, know what tire you intend to use, and ballpark the math.

 

Ah okay, thanks for the reply. I was hoping to get lucky. Going to set aside a few more hours for research and try to compile myself a list of ones to keep an eye out for.

 

Mild edit made to my reply in the time between my post and your reply, to clarify some stuff.

When I’ve needed to figure this out before for others (something I’m not fond of doing), I’ve gone online to find specs on the OEM wheel they’re looking at. Best bet is to find something with backspace in the 4.5 - 4.8 range. That will push things out far enough to have some flexibility on tires. But knowing your tire specs (actual diameter and width from the manuf’er, not what a tire calculator says) is ideal. Understand that, if you intend to go with an aggressive A/T tire, the actual diameter and width may be 1/4” - 1/3” wider/taller than what a calculator will show, and those knobbies really love grabbing things in the fender and also rubbing frame.

 

PS - if you need help calculating, give:

• Wheel you intend to use OR its width and offset specs
• Exact model and size of tire you intend to use

That should be adequate to run the numbers. The hard part is finding the width and offset of the OEM wheel, but there are a few websites that sell OEM wheels and gives you those specs.

 

I’m hoping to find wheels with tires already mounted. I’ll make sure to take it account if the tire looks agressive. Hopefully the person will be cool and let me test fit them.

 

At worst, you really only need to test fit the front. EDIT: Then test for rub at full lock going in reverse each way, and forward each way.

I think the better option is to isolate which OEM wheels in 16" and 17" have unfavorable backspacing and avoid them. There's a few I ran into when I was looking for an alternate pair of wheels. Maybe pick out the variations you like, check the backspacing, and stick with those.

 

In that case you might want to check out Facebook Marketplace. That's where I found mine. There are always a bunch listed.

 

You ever mount these? Theres a dude selling a set by me and I'm considering it.

 

What grill is this?!

And beyond that, there's a bit more info over here, in case you're curious about cost and whatnot.

 

I picked up some 2022 4runner TRD wheels and installed on my 04 DC.
The 265/70/17 highway treads need to go, but what is the consensus on 265/70/17 vs 275/70/17 for these wheels? It is leveled with Bilstein 5100's on the 4th clip.
Thanks

 

You'll want to check the offset on the wheels, figure out what they've got for backspacing. I have it stuck in my head the OEM pro wheels have an unfavorable (too tucked in, high positive backspace) inset on our 1st gens, and which means too wide a tire would have you rubbing suspension. I think it's AGP's replicas that offer better offset for our trucks.

That said, 265/70/17 is the same tire width as OEM for our trucks, you're just getting 1" taller tire. Once you bump up to 275/70r17 it's roughly ½" wider and taller tire, which is what I'm running, with favorable wheel specs (offset/backspace), and I'm still rubbing at full lock, especially in reverse. It could probably be corrected most of the way out with alignment adjustments, but ... I am one of the minority voices here on the forum who thinks 265/70r17 in a nice, aggressive A/T tire, is the perfect upgrade for our trucks at stock height or leveled. You may get a little rub at stock height, but ...

Hindsight 20/20, if I had to do it all over again tomorrow, I'd have gone with 1" less lift up front (closer to 1¾" total front lift), a 265/70r17 tire, and called it a day.

 

They do seemed pretty tucked in. Would a wheel spacer be a bad idea?

 

I've always liked the style of the factory wheels.

 

Have you seen the Patricks in gold?

Are you always going to ensure whoever takes off the wheels never uses anything except a torque wrench during reinstall?

 

I may have but don't know what wheel you're referencing.

 

It’s a wheel you know very well

 

Ok. Gold colored rims isn't something I would choose although I'm sure they're popular among some folks.

I agree, it looks pretty f'n terrible.

Especially with a cap, or even worse yet, an FMS sports grille and a cap.

​

 

Well... the truck has nice looking running boards.

 

They're OEM. Honestly, without them, the kids wouldn't have been able to get in the truck.
