Since we have transitioned into this topic, I would like to ask the question - how about Tundra wheels? Specifically, those new Enkei ones seen here http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l2...F/DSC00506.jpg

And also - if I were to go with newer Tacoma wheels, would I also be able to upgrade my brakes to larger ones straight off a new truck? Are they a direct swap?

 

I had no idea all year tacoma wheels would fit my truck!! Thank you! I have been beating myself up for weeks. Think I may stay with 15" but just a new look. The whole bigger brake thing on the newer trucks makes sense now. Thanks again!

 

also keep it in mind if you might upgrade your brakes down the road. lots of people put larger tires on their rig and find the need to upgrade rotors/calipers and master cylinder to stop that extra rolling mass.

 

Bump this question...

 

Search V6 4Runner brake upgrade or something similar. The 95.5 and later brakes won't bolt on. But the pre '95 V6 4Runner had 4 large, equal size pistons in the caliper, along with heat dissipating fins cast into the caliper. Along with the 82-85-ish FJ60 Cruiser vented rotors, makes for some awesome stopping power.

Remember, I am referring to this upgrade on a SFA truck. I don't know how/what applies on an IFS front end. But I know the Tacos and Tundras have a different caliper mounting bolt pattern. With Tacos (and 3rd gen Runners), I believe a lot of folks do the Tundra big brake upgrade.

 

In reference to the tacoma 3 spoke alloys pictured above, are the prerunner and 4x4 wheels the exact same? Looking to buy a set for my 94 4x4 but the ones I'm looking at are off a prerunner but look the exact same.

 

other than the 15" and 16" flavors, they should be the same in terms of offset and width within those sizes.

 

i always love the 15's on those

 

I have to bump this old thread since it seems I can't start a new one. I never had stock wheels, I have some billet old school ARE type wheel of unknown offset. I was thinking about getting another set of wheels so I could have street and offroad tires. Found some old school wheels that are 6x139mm with 108mm center bore and 15x8.5" and et-33. I think stock wheels are around 15x7" and et8 or 13. Rough estimate should put the outer lip about 2.5" further out than stock wheels. Since I don't have stock wheels I don't have a baseline. Do the measurements sound about right for a good fit?

 

Pretty new here to yotatech, but this thread has all you need to know about factory wheels, compatibility between models/years, and stock tire sizes. Does it deserve a so called "sticky?" Ive seen the term many times lurking the forums ha.

 

Hi everyone, I kind of have the same question of the OP, but not entirely sure it was answered. I have a 1993 sr5 4x4 pickup with the 31x10.5x15 tires on it, is it possible to go to a different size tire without changing the rims? I'm assuming the rims on my truck are the 15x7. Thanks.

 

Yes you can swap sizes on those wheels (larger I'm assuming). 32x11.5 and 33x10.5 will be the biggest you can get on them. I've heard/seen someone stick a 33x12.5 and maybe even a 35x12.5 on the same wheels, but chances of finding a tire shop that will do that are pretty slim is my guess as this wheel is narrower than recommended for those sizes (supposed to be on an 8-12" wide). When I did 33x12.5 I had to get new wheels with wider width and less back spacing to clear the upper control arm, have around 3/4" gap with them installed (15x8-3.75"bs) good luck!

 

Actually I was trying to get a smaller size, this truck is basically going to be use mostly on the road, and I was trying to get smaller tires, since they are cheaper than the 31's. But looks like I will just have to bite the bullet and shell out for a new set, thanks for the info though!

 

Smaller than 31s would be 235/75-15 which is stock size. They fit 15x7", 6x5.5 rims

 

Cool thanks, those are actually a lot cheaper!

 

I dunno about others, but when I had 31s and stock 4.10 gearing, I got the best MPGs I've seen in my truck.

 

My 92 toyota 4X4 has a set of steel 15X7 7-spoke wheels on it. tires are 225/75R15. Does anyone know what the
offset is for the steel 7-spoke wheels. The tires are right at the edge of the fender well. I'm looking at new 15X7
alloys and the offset is minus 6mm. Does enyone know where a minus 6mm offset will put the edge of the tire.
I'm not concerned about tire clearance - there is plenty of that - I just don't want the tires to project outside the
body. Thanks
