Post TRD Fj Wheels vs. 05 to 09 Taco wheels??

Thinking about getting a set of new wheels for my 3rd gen 4runner but I'm not sure about the backspacing of the two wheels. I have heard that the Taco wheels will have a smaller amount of backspacing than the stock 4runner wheels and will look like they will be really deep looking in the wheel wells. I don't know much about the Fj wheels but they look sick in the gunmetal grey. Would a set of wheel spacers fix this problem or should I just give up on this idea. If anyone has any 3rd gens with wheels like this please post up some pics.

I have wheels from a 2010 runner on my '99.....they fit awesome, just went up to 275/70/17(32.2"), pics to follow with the new rubber. The backspacing on the fj's should be the same from what I hear...it's 4.5" or 4 3/4", can't remember

sweet. thanks a lot man! I accidentally ordered a set of BFG KM2's for 16's (265/5/16) and I've got 15's. Oh well gives me an excuse to get some new wheels!
I would love to see how they look and can you notice if they look farther "in" to the wheel wells?

No they don't look "far into" the wheel wells. Maybe 1/4" further in than stock(due to backspace), but not noticeable because the new wheels are 7.5" wide verses the old 16x7", so they're 1/2" wider so it helps fill the void. I am at work now till sunday, then going out of town for a few days, then doctors appt's, so I'll get to taking new pics as soon as I get a chance. I am not able to check my email on this puter, just yotatech, so I cant email myself a pic from my phone right now.

Is there a chart anywhere that shows all the factory Toyota 6-bolt wheels and their specs? Width, backspacing, diameter, maybe even weight?

Not that I know of. There maybe somewhere on the internet but as far as a chart directly from Toyota I doubt that exists because my Toyota dealership was unable to help me find the backspacing of different OEM wheels without specking out each individual wheel.

Looking into these wheels...trying to decide between the two myself.

Black beadlock? or Silver Alloy FJ Style?
