Do a search on here, you might not get much (because you are 2wd) but try anyways.

Other than that, go to a tire/wheel seller online. Type in your truck and find wheels for sale. That should be able to give you the layout (5 on 100mm or whatever it actually is). Then just start looking, or searching on the web to find vehicles that have the same lug pattern. Or head to the juckyard ready to start test fitting wheels.

Keep in mind though that there are other things to consider, like backspacing (or offset), and wheel width.


If I had to make a guess, I would say that any of the newer 5 lug toyota pickups (2wd) should fit, but this is an assumption and you know what the say about assumption

oh, and welcome to yotatech!!!



and, "search" is your friend on here, and so are all the stickies, faq's and writeups, read up as much as you can on stuff before you post a question. I personally don't care, but others can get peeved, and will either ignore you (might already be happening.....) or they will just post "search" and leave

Yotatech is a great source of info, but give it more than a minute between posts

I think that tire and wheel websites are a great source for stuff like this:
your bolt pattern is: 5 on 114.3mm which translates to 5x4.5". This website will give you ideas of alternate toyota rims that might fit
http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse...._Reference.cfm

Keep in mind that just because the bolt pattern might be the same, you might run into clearance issues with calipers/backspacing

5 on 4.5" is very common also to ford and jeep and I am sure some others

I'm in the same boat dude. I want to upgrade to 16" wheels on my '95 4Runner but it's tough to find information when you don't really know what terms to search for...I'm a 100% wheel & tire noob too. I just always looked at what was on my particular ride & put that size back on it or let the tire place decide.

People who spout "use the search function" should just refrain from posting at all unless they have some fetish they'd like to pass on to others about sifting through multiple millions of irrelevant pages of info to find a handful that aren't.

Basically if you don't know enough specifics of what to search for, then searching is of little use & just asking someone who knows (or claims to) saves a lot of hours of reading & wear on eyes that are already old & tired. I did eventually discover that my wheels are 15x7 stock & the 96's up to ? are 16x7 & should fit. Now to find some cheapo aftermarket 16's that fit the bill for me or some used ones that aren't warped.
