hello all,

looking for wheel alternatives for my '92 xtra cab - i've seen a few ads for FJ Cruiser alloys at relatively reasonable prices lately and i'm wondering a) what else fits on my truck and b) what looks good.

i'm not looking for bling here but trying to take advantage of potential deals on newish take-offs over dropping cash for new tires.

in short, if you got a rig running newer factory alloys or steelies, let's see them. also if you know what fits (i'm thinking Tundras, FJs, Land Cruisers, Tacomas, 4runners and whatever else factory may fit). thanks

not the right generation but this is my 87 4runner with 05 tundra rims. 6x5.5

One thing to consider is the hubs.
If you have manual locking hubs, the center caps on those later model rims won't mount.

not the right generation in terms of the body but the fit should be the same, right?

that looks good, nice!

alfio

true, something to consider indeed, especially for those of us running manual hubs.

still, there's always something that can be done and, worse comes to worse, we can run them without the caps up front like JShaffer.

I bought an '88 single cab about a month ago with '05 wheels, looks good! If i can figure out how to post pics i'll get some up.

the fit will be the same. abe is right the caps wont fit but i personally think it doesnt look that bad.

Here's my rig:

i agree it looks good without the caps - question though, would the caps fit if you open up the center enough for the manual hub to pass through?

these are off a tundra, right?

Well, for the last year I ran these, off a 97 4Runner



Then I picked these up 2 weeks ago, off of a 2000 4Runner



Nice thing with those, you can find centercaps that were made for manual hubs (the Tacomas with the first style of rims had em)

The first style came in a 15" and 16", the second style I believe are only 16"

JShaffer0525

well he beat me to it. you could easily cut out the center, i just havent.

Have you checked out these (link below) '09 tacoma sport edition wheels and tires... can't be that far from Bloomington? I've been looking into doing the same thing on my '86 p/u. Those gotta be your tires and wheels on CL in bloomington for $75? I'm down in Southern Indiana, small world!

Are you sure the 1st ones came in 15" AND 16"? I can't find that info online anywhere?

What size tire were you running with the 1st ones? One more question... I think I asked you this on another thread- If I switch from 15" to 16" wheels are there any modifications that need to be done? Thank you!

I haven't read it anywhere, just looking at rims on rigs as I walk by them, I noticed the trend with that first style of rim (Tacoma vs. 4runner). But the reason I know they came in both sizes for sure is I have had both sizes. I know awilson013 has the 15's of those rims currently and I had the 16's, after I traded up since the 15's had stock tires, the 16's had 31's

Those 5 spoke alloys look amazing on an older 4runner, good choice.

kiyobrown

Thanks! Took a while to find em, but got off a couple on CL for $210. Not too bad, I have seen folks selling the 1st gen sr5 alloys for that price, so I'm not complaining.

crawlerjunkie

I'm a fan of the five spoke.

hehe thanks kiyo. i couldnt think of anything else to call it.
