Here we go again.. GX470

Also, from my limited research:

22+ Tundra Hub Bore is 95mm vs GX at 106 mm

Lug nuts are M14x1.5 vs M12x1.5

The GX is hub centric, so I would ASSUME if you didn’t want to run spacers you could get the wheels center bore milled to 106mm and they should be fine. But I’m NOT a wheel and tire fitment expert. Lol

 

A dude on FB said stud size is wrong too but I haven't had a chance to confirm. Still driving.

 

Yeah looks like M12 vs M14. Doesn’t appear to be a huge issue as long as the lugs seat fully and have the correct shoulder. Seems to be common in the tuner world. Here’s a short read.

Also, here is the potential size difference. (Random internet photo, just showing the diameters of each size)

 

@M3Tundra-JK Did you test fit the BBS before selling? Did they sit flush or stick out? Was gonna order the spacers but wondering if I should just mill them a tad. Would be a lot easier to figure this out if the GX was actually here. My thought is to mill it but I think I may need a spacer ultimately to clear everything.

 

Seems like a very high risk/low reward situation when you could just flip them for a bit of cash.

Maybe it’ll be fine, but I would hate to go so far as to mill them out and then have some wobbling or something that can’t quite be dialed out. What would you do then? Sell them without disclosing the issue? Just eat whatever money you have into them at that point?

Sell and buy something that fits is my (completely unsolicited) advice.

 

Gonna order the adapters cause from all my reading I'll need spacers regardless.

 

Where‘s the fun in this choice!?

 

Ya I test for them and they didn't go over the center hub. They also seemed to be super close to the steering knuckle. They could probably be milled out, but I was unsure about it and just sold them instead. I only saw 1.5" spacer adapters and that was too much tire sticking out for me.

 

Guess I'll get to be the guinea pig since I'm not spending TE37 money right now.

 

Emailed US Wheel Adapters to let them know exactly what I'm doing just to make sure all is good before placing the order. Although based on the product page, that's exactly what I need.

 

I had a 2006 GX before my Tundra. Was fun to customize. WOuld love to see your stereo when its done. I had the undesired Mark Levinson Nav stereo, which was actually fine for us. Went from a Tacoma to the GX to haul twin babies.

 

Mine came with the ML but every single inch of that is getting pulled. My installer should be working on things this week and getting pics along the way which I'll post here.

 

Well, they replied with "Yes, this will work perfectly"

 

If you're tossing out the HU, I'd send you a few bucks for it.

 

Wheel adapters are ordered.

 

Just got a second set of TRD Pro wheels. ‍♂️

 

.........

 

wtf man lol! Are you gonna mill those out? What are the prices on those BBS's down there, geez! You're making me regret selling the ones I got and not experimenting

 

People are asking $2500-$3000 for a set. I basically stole both of these for $1000 for one set and $1100 for the second. The first set was going to need tires very soon so I was looking at another $300+ a piece per tire. Then a friend jokingly mentioned how sick it would be to mount a 5th TRD Pro rim on the back for a spare. I didn't need to hear any more. I was then on the search for a 5th wheel but quickly realized I was better off with another set of 4 with good tires. So now I'll mix and match the absolute best 5 of the 8 for myself and sell off the extras. Singles are selling for $600-$700+ from what I'm seeing so it should work out VERY in my favor when all is said and done.

Then I'll sell my stocks of course. I don't expect to get much but every little bit helps to offset the price.

 

I did lose my fucking tonneau cover on the highway on the way back from picking these up. So guess I gotta figure a new one into the price as well.

 

Those BBS wheels look great, I'm excited to see the end result. My brother has 3rd Gen tundra wheels on his 1st Gen Sequoia, using adapters without any issues. I'm not sure where they're from but I don't forsee you having problems.

 

Finally some movement at the audio shop.

 

There's 3 amps there. I believe a 4th will be added after talking to my installer/best friend.

 

Sound deadener finally going in. My installer was surprised with how little sound deadening came in this thing stock. 2 layers going up top;

 

Got an OTT tune done the other day on the GX. Not much else to report.. Still sitting at the audio shop.

 

Aaaaand still waiting on the audio shop

 

What will that be making when complete?? One can only imagine just by looking at the size of the cables!! WOW!!!

 

What do you mean by making? Those are just the short runs from the lithium battery to the amps. The main cabling from the battery and alternator are even bigger.

 

Amps/ watts

 

I'm not sure. The stacked amps are 3k rms each for the subs. Not sure the specs of the Rockford on the left. And I believe ultimately there will be a 4th for the rear.
