anyone happen to know exactly the hub diameter on our 3rd gen 4runners? OR how big the bore of the wheel has to be to fit over the hub. thanks

 

bump bump: resurrection because i need to know this now! mine is an 01 runner and i picked up some aftermarket wheels that were made for a chevy for cheap. i want to get them bored to fit.

so does anyone know!!!???

if i dont get the answer i will probably just bring the aftermarket wheels and my factory wheels into the machine shop with me but im trying to avoid that.

 

So you already tried them and they don't fit? I tried to look it up and I can't find it. The easiest was is find some outside calipers so you can take a measurement of your hub. Then you can make an exact fit. If the wheel hub on your new wheels was too big you can purchase hub centric rings so the wheel sits centered on the hub. Those are made specific for your vehicle and wheels. Let us know what you find out. Also what wheels did you get?

 

I thought all our Tacomas and 4Runners used lug centric wheels. I'm not an expert in this area, but I would think that so long as the bore is larger than the hub, a hub centric ring would not be necessary since it's the lugs that center the wheel. Maybe I'm wrong on both counts, but this is my understanding.

Yup, they're lug-centric - the lugs center the wheel not the hub.

 

He is talking about aftermarket wheels that came off a Chevy.......
