    Will any of the Toyota 6 lug/5 1/2" rims fit my 2002 Tundra Limited? I'm planning a mild suspension upgrade and I would like to go to a 17" or 18" Toyota rim
    Also any suggestions on suspension upgrades? I would like a minimum lift while retaining the best ride possible!
    Thanks!!

    Yes/no. A bunch of options that fit will not fit if you change suspension or go to a larger wheel or tire size. I’m pretty sure 18’s are not an option for 1st gens, only 16’s or 17’s.

    Anything over 17" looks goofy on our trucks in my opinion. I like more tire, less wheel.

    Thank you for correcting my error; I did not know this!
    Haha! I agree. Maybe this is why I never paid attention to 18’s being possible....

    Latest generation 4Runner wheels as well as FJ Cruiser wheels are the best fit as the offset are closest to the Tundra (about 15mm). Most Tacoma wheels also fit, but offset (with some exceptions) tend to be in the 25-30mm range so you may have issues with minor rubbing since you're slightly closer to the frame.

    In my area, a set of take-offs from a 4Runner with tires (265x70x17 OEM) run anywhere from $400-$800+.

    I'd suggest you browse this thread: https://www.tundras.com/threads/lets-see-1st-gen-with-toyota-rims.40487/

    You can often find the 4runner snowflakes on ebay for about 250 shipped for a set of new takeoffs. I think have about the same offset as the tundra wheels.

    The ‘Patrick Editions’ are becoming more rare and valuable by the day. I’ll give it a couple of years and watch the Trend Swing Back to that OEM look and watch the Haters Hate. :rofl:
