Chevy wheels on a 1st gen 4Runner?
Hello- I want to get some 235/85-16s on my 88 4Runner. I have been looking for the "plainest" wheels possible. I found some 16x7 6 lug stock Chevy wheels on Ebay that I want. They are the plain kind that are supposed to have hubcaps. I guess my question is- will the lug pattern fit (I think the 4Runner has 6 on 5.5)? And does anybody know if the backspacing will be ok on my truck? I have included a picture of the wheels. Thanks!

* Or is this too much hastle and would I just be better off getting 31x10.50-15 ?

I am actually running chevy rims on my big tires. The stock Chevy center hole is 3.5" while for a toyota you need a 4".
I looked real close at the rims before I bought mine (again, super plain jane steelies), and there was an extra lip of metal with no real sturctural reason for being there. It took me about 3 hrs with a grinder to make all 5 rims fit, but it was well worth it. $100 for 5 chevy steelies, or $300 for Toyota's.

toyota used the same 6x5.5 bolt pattern as fullsize jeeps and chevies, as well as most japanese trucks(chevy luv, isuzu, nissan etc). just make sure the backspacing is right and the center hole is big enough.

i think im gonna get the chevy wheels
Thanks everyone. I think I'm gonna get the wheels (they're super cheap) and just torch/grind out the extra metal in the center to fit over my hubs. Anyone think that will be dangerous as long as I don't cut any more than the thinner metal in the very center?
