    Gents, I'm a noob here and looking for a good wheel/tire setup for my '05 Tundra. I've settled on a 16" wheel with 285/75/16 tires (along with a 2.5" lift). However, the particular wheels I was about to pull the trigger on are very explicitly listed on the manufacturer's site as ONLY fitting Tacomas due to the hub bore size.

    Would these not also fit the Tundra? Unless I'm missing something, they both have a 106mm bore so there shouldn't be an issue. Just thought I'd get some expert opinions from you old salty tundra dogs.:D Thanks!

    Specifications:
    Size: 16x8
    Offset: -12
    Bolt Pattern: 6x5.5 / 6x139.7
    Center Bore: 106.1 mm (hub-centric for Toyota Tacoma)
    Backspacing: 4.03"
    Weight: approx 26 lbsLoad Rating: 2500 lbs

    Welcome from TX. I can assure you that they have the same hub bore size. The starfish on my 00 Tundra came off of an 02 Taco.

    Wheel fitment, backspacing, and other info is available in the megathread, wheel and suspension section. If you haven't spied the info in that wheel/suspension section before settling on your lift, you may want to do that. Here's the pertinent info on wheels at least.
    • Wheel fitment (backspacing/offset info) ... backspacing/offset plays an important role in whether or not you're gonna rub when choosing larger-than-OEM tires. If you need help with understanding what ballpark you should be aiming in, this is a good thread to read. Gist: The best balance to poke out near the fender edge without rub is an 8.5" wide wheel with ~4.75" backspace. As you get near 4.5" backspace, you'll be rubbing. Many popular OEM wheels were 5" backspace. You can run oversize 275/70r17 tires on 17x8.5" wheels at 0 offset (i.e. 4.75" backspace) with little to no lift.
    • Wheel fitment (from other Tundras): 2007-2022 Tundras use 5-lug wheels. In 2023, Tundras started using 6-lug axles again, but the hub bore is smaller (95mm on 3rd gen vs. 106mm on 1st gen), so they technically won't work unless you spend a couple hundo on custom-made spacers.
    • Wheel fitment (from other Toyota models): Anything from Tacomas, 4Runners, Land Cruiser, LX470 and GX models that are 6-lug will typically fit. Someone here is probably running it already, and pics of it are in the OEM wheels thread.
    tl;dr - anything 105.9 to 108 will fit pretty cleanly from what others have found.

    Oh, and you'll find some great wheel deals in the Wheel & Tire Sale section: https://www.tundras.com/forums/marketplace-wheels-tires.49/
