Didnt find much info on retrofitting newer toyota rims on our older rigs on here, so I thought id clear some things up.

Picked up a set of newer FJ rims, they fit perfect. They are hub-centric so I even got to re-use my lug nuts

Those 15 or 16" wheels? I like 'em.

BC_4runner

They are actually 17" and the tires are about 32"

I had 2007 Tacoma aluminum wheels on mine for a minute. I needed "special lugs" and they were so close to the tie rods that I had to pry off the inner-wheel weights or they would rub thetie rod housings. i ended up trading for the 1996ish Tacoma aluminums. x2 on new wheels don't fit an old truck.... unless it was a 12 inch lift pavement punder, but just not convenient for those of us that drive through dirtbike trails full of rocks and brush

Go figure I don't have a picture online, but its these style wheels on a 1st gen runner:



These are what I rock now ( still require the special "fat and short" mag lug nuts)

DO NOT use steel wheel lugs with alloy wheels! They require the flat-back lugs with washers. Pay particular attention to proper torque settings.

OEM alloys require a OEM lugnuts, the shank type with the washer, not the tapered end acorn style. OEM lugnuts are tapered on the end so they can be used on a steel rim spare if necessary.

Typically all OEM Toyota alloys will swap out IFS to IFS on 6x5.5

You have issues putting IFS wheels on SFA and need wheel spacers.

I need wheel spacers for the caps to fit in the front over the OEM wheel hub but other than that they look awesome. Best part the tires/rims under 1k miles on them for $150

Love the taco rims. Heard the b.s. isnt enough for the old trucks though. How close is the tire to the upper a-arm/bj?

X2! For my first generation 4runner, I'd go as new as the wheels that came on the 3rd gen 4runners or first generation Tacoma but that's it.
