Another pick the wheel: Tundra 17" or LX450 16" pics...

I currently have the LX450 16x8 wheels, but I just got a killer deal on some of the hypersilver Tundra wheels...

I love the wide stance of the LX450 wheels and I put on brand new BFG A/T's about 1k ago.

However, the hypersilver Tundra wheels are beautiful; but I'm worried about losing the wide stance. I hate the look of sunken in wheels on the 4Runner; also I'd have to buy new tires...


Here's how it is currently:

The stance. Notice the faded clear corner, that is why Jason B's clear corners > eBay clear corners (A shameless plug for Jason B).


Here are the Tundra wheels (plus a spare!):


Here are the tundra wheels in front of the Runner:


My bad attempt of a P-Chop, the wheels are a little big:

I might be interested in buying those 16x8 wheels. Let me know how much if you want to sell them!

I will. If I do sell them, I'd try to sell them as a package with the basically new 265/75/16's on them. Unless I had a buyer for both.

I might be interested too... (and I'm local! )

Heh. I'll vote on the poll when I get away from this darn "work" thing that says I can't visit image sites. Grrrrrrr.

how ever aren't the tundra wheels 7.5" wide as to the 8" wide Lexus rims?

If so you might slightly loose that wide stance...

Yeah that's what I'm worried about, and the Tundra wheels have 5" backspacing compared to the 4.25" backspacing of the LX450 wheels. I think it'll be about an inch difference. Or back to the stock 16x7 sunken in look.

The tundra's are sweet but the lx450 wheels IMO opinion are a no brainer on your rig. Plus it's always nicer to save a few bucks on cheaper tires.

My vote would be to stay with the LX rims. They look so sick on your rig and give you the wider stance you're looking for.

Here is another picture, just for everyone's reference.



They're definately pushed in more than the LX rims, but I still think they look great. And as far as the styling of the rims, I personally like the Tundra's a lot better.
