Looking at wheels in the future.

When i can get some money together i want new wheels, and here is what i have been thinking of, will these fit my truck?
Here is what i REALLY want:

KMC XD Series 775 Rockstar 18" Black
Here is what i would take if the Rockstars not available:

American Racing Chamber 16" Teflon


I am really swinging towards the KMC XD RockStar Black 18" wheels. They will fit my 4Runner right? I only thought about the others if the KMC's dont fit.

Good, then i think i will go with them, cause they look just smashing! and when i wrap them in either Pro Comp Xterrain or Nitto Mud Grapplers they will add some killer looks!

x2 IMO, i wouldn't want to see all that rim crack on a rock or pothole. Plus i hate the looks of trucks/suvs with huge rims and about half an inch of side wall, not saying thats what it will look like, thats just my opinion.

But then again, im the fan of the $40 a rim rockcrawler rims, so To Each His Own!

Does anybody on YT know if i have to buy some spacers? i saw on a taco forum that a 05+ taco had to get some spacers for his taco so the wheel "don't look goofy". So does anybody with KMC's know if i should get some spacers?

Buy a locker instead. Please don't "bling" your 4Runner. Its a slippery slope, before you know it, you will be idolizing Ricky Martin.

Of those wheels, the American Racing Chamber 16" Teflon look best, though black steelies would look a lot tougher and cost way less.

18x9, 6 on 5.5 / Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 5 in.; Offset = 0 mm.; Hub Bore = 108

or

18x9, 6 on 5.5 / Bolt Pattern; Back Spacing = 5 in.; Offset = 0 mm.; Hub Bore = 78.1

Those are my two choices for the 18" wheels.
