18” TRD Rim Center Cap mod for Tundra & Sequoia

Decided to replace the center caps on our 18” TRD Off Road rims. Those rims come on the current 3G Tundra SR5 TRD Off Road, and also came on 2023 Sequoia w/ TRD Off Road package. I wanted to change out the center caps, but found these Toyota TRD 18” Off Road rims came with a slightly thinner hub than the 20” black TRD rim. The OE center cap fits the thinner hub, but that hub doesn’t allow other Toyota center caps to fit, as the hit the center bearing cover on 4x4 models. I wanted to widen the stance on our TRD Off Road package Sequoia without all new rims.

Answer - Installed 1” Spidertracks spacers on all 4 locations, and replaced center caps. Less than $400 for a new look with wider stance.

The Spidertracks black spacers I wanted weren’t in stock, but Amazon had the blue ones & came overnight, so I got some 2000 degree black paint and painted the outer edges of the spacers so no one would notice them installed. Drilled six holes in a cardboard box and laid spacer lugs through face down to keep paint off of the studs. Pretty simple install. I found some new center caps on eBay, one cap version was the TRD center cap off of the black 20” off road rims, and the other were same size and black with white ‘TOYOTA’ lettering. I think the Toyota letter center cap would be cool with Tundra’s with the Heritage grille. I ended up using the TRD version. I took pics of the various center caps on the rim.

Overall got a wider stance and fresh look. Sequoia specific - the 1” spacer pushed the outer edge of the tire out to even with the OE step rails.

$10 for paint at Tractor Supply, 4 Spacers @ $300 on Amazon, & $80 for 4 center caps off eBay. Little bit of sweat over 2 hours = fresh look. Worked well on the Sequoia, and can be done on the 3G Tundras with same rim.
