    I recently picked up a 2015 double cab (5.7L, MGM) and am now starting to look at wheel/ tire setups. I have had a few Toyota trucks in the past and whenever I stepped away from OEM wheels I had problems. It seemed like no matter what I did any aftermarket wheel that I tried had balance/ vibration issues because they all mounted with acorns and getting/keeping those perfectly centered is impossible if you do anything but highway time. I am assuming that the same will be true with these Tundra's but the limited offsets available in 5 x 150 is a unique problem. On my 4Runner, Tacoma, and 1st gen tundra I had some choices available. All that I see for the Tundra is +60 and +50 (TSS and Rock Warrior). I really hate spacers - I know that many have been able to run them without incident, but IMO they are just plain bad engineering.

    So...are there any options that I might not be aware of? There are not any aftermarket wheel builders who produce wheels that can use the Toyota lug-centric lug nuts ...are there?

    Ive had lots of acorn wheels. I always did hand tight on the lug nuts while in the air pushing rim into hub... Then drop on ground then torque to spec. Also make sure hub bore is correct size if not use a hubcentric ring... also make sure to get high quality nuts such as McGuard. Tighten lugs in star pattern evenly tighten each one turn by turn and alternate till the torque wrench slips.... ive never had the issues you speak of even when i ran spacers.... %99.99 of aftermarket wheels will not use the stock lug nut style.
