do 4th gen wheels fit 3rd gen 4runners?

j-dub · 05-30-2005, 09:58 PM

I would like to buy a set of the 17" 5 spoke alloys that are commonly equiped on the 4th gen 4runners. I belive both generations use 6 X 139 bolt pattern. I don't know about back spacing or hub diameter.

Any body know if these will fit or not?

Thanks in advance
Jeremy

Ok, I have determined that they will fit as in physically bolt up. IU am not sure how the offset compares.

Does any body have pics of MK4 wheels on a MK3?

I do not know if this will help but I bought take-off 16" steel rims off of a 2003 4Runner for my 2002. I never measured the offset, but in eye balling it, it looks the same.

I am pretty sure they will fit. Not positive about this but I think the backspacing is a little different but will still fit just fine.

I have the sequoia wheels on my 4runner. those have 5" of backspacing.... i assmue that the 4th gen wheels have a similar backspacing

j-dub-

I am going the opposite way: putting 3rd gen wheels on a 4th gen. I started a thread that lists the offset differences (http://www.yotatech.com/showthread.php?t=58433). In a nutshell, the 4th gen has 30mm offset and the 3rd gen has 15mm offset. So for you, the 4th gen wheels would sit more inward than your 3rd gen wheels. A few 3rd gen guys have here have done what you are doing.

If you're interrested in buying a set of 5 wheels with 14k miles on Michilin XTerrain tires, I have a set for sale... PM me!

slight clarification... I'm using 2001-2004 Tacoma wheels, which I believe are the same offset as the 3rd gen 4runners. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong!

Thanks for all the information everybody.

Now to find a deal on 4th gen wheels.

j-dub · 05-31-2005, 05:56 PM

Found another thread with some pics of this very thing. 4x4rnr was right about the offset, the 4th gen will sit in compared to my 3rd gen wheels.

Here are a few pics of the new wheels and tires. At first I thought it looked kind of funny, I am getting used to it now after it has been a few days.
