OEM Wheel Swap Rules

Yes, I'm new, but I have been reading before I post a question.
If I've missed a thread, would you send me the link?

Maybe I'm the only one that wants to keep the original tire size, or go narrower, but in all of my reading, I haven't seen any rules pertaining to OEM wheel swap between Toyota models.
Is it safe to assume that 07 FJ wheels will fit an 06 Sequoia based on the fact that they are both Toyota and the same vintage...i.e. within x number of years?

I've read issues about after market wheels not fitting around the brakes on the Sequoia and was wondering if the same issues pertained to family of Toyota wheels.

Thanks,

Here is what I've found so far, maybe it will help others:

2007 FJ Cruiser
Size: 17" x 7.5", 6 Lug, 5.5" Bolt Pattern 139.7mm Medium Offset

2006 Sequoia
Size: 17" x 7.5", 6 Lug, 5.5" Bolt Pattern 139.7mm Medium Offset

The only question now is will they fit over the brake calipers.
I guess I'll have to buy them and find out. I'll keep you posted.

just because the diameter, width and bolt patterns match up don't mean they will fit. You also have centerbore size and backspacing/offset. If too low of a backspacing/offset you might run into issues with hitting steering components and/or ball joints. If too large of a backspacing/offset, you risk hitting parts of the body when turning. Too small of a centerbore and you might not clear the hubs.
