ok so i havent been here in awhile but i decided to start modding the 4runner again. i have 285/75/16 on my stock 16x7's. i want to get new wheels but want to get something more fancy than LC's. i want a black wheel with a chrome lip or just with chrome on it. so i order the procomp 8179's in a 16x8 with a 4" backspace and finally get them today just to find out that the center of the wheel doesnt fit over the black dust cap that covers the pin and 35mm nut. so nonetheless the wheels dont fit, this may sound dumb and noobish but how do i know if they are going to fit before i order them. can anyone show me or help me pick out some black and chrome wheels that will actually fit????? thanks

 

that sucks... I had that problem with a set of procomp wheels, they were 16" dia, but still didn't fit

Not sure how to figure it out

 

That is good to know, as I was considering the exact same rims. Not sure if it makes a difference, but did you order the hub centric or lug centric version?

The part number for the hub centric is 8179-6838.
The part number for the lug centric is 8179-6883.

I think we need to order the lug centric version. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,

 

i ordered part number 6838, which would be the hub centric ones, i didnt know what the difference is, can someone confirm this for us please?

 

Helo Maxx will fit and can be found pretty cheap on ebay. 16x8 4.5BS
Cant help you with knowing how to know if they fit or not though. Sorry

 

Those morons sent you the Chevy hub-centric wheels. The EXACT SAME THING happened to me, courtesy of the idiots at sportztrailers.com. You didn't happen to buy the wheels from them did you? They have horrible, I mean HORRIBLE customer service. They tried to blame it all on me, even after I showed them printed proof it was their mistake. I'm still a bit bitter about the subject.

Anyways, I had to take my tires off the wheels, then take the wheels to a milling shop and had them re-bore the hub. Cost me about $100 plus tire mounting/dismounting.

If the store won't work with you, that's what you will have to do to make them fit.

 

those helo maxx rims are some of my favorites, i might have to get some of those.

that sucks about your rims though. hopefully they will get it worked out and have you with the right set

 

Hmm. I have a set of pro comp 7189 sitting next to me now that i will be getting mounted and balanced with Nitto terra grapplers in about 2 hours. I hope mine fit... I guess i will be finding out soon.

 

You definitely DO NOT want hub centric rims for your Runner. The hub centric are specifically for the Chevy models. My friend Ray, who is the store manager at 4Wheel Parts confirmed this for me.

Hope this helps.
