    I am a new member. Recently purchased a new 08 2-wd Tacoma ex-cab. I saw where I think it is Hammer who says )4 Camry wheels will fit this truck. What do you think. I was told by the dealership they would only bolt on but shake a lot. Please help.

    Thanks, Richard

    the bolt patern is exactly the same. Backspacing is nearly the same, and offset nearly the same, if the tires are of good quality, the balancing is proper and the wheels are straight, there is absolutly no reason for a vibration or shaking. Sounds like the guy has no clue what he's talkin about and probably has no business in the automotive feild

    Possibly because the Tacoma wheels are hub centric while the Camry's are lug centric.

    if that was the case that the hub on the camery is larger than the one on the taco, then the use of a hub adapter for the cost of about 12 bucks a set would fix this

    I like it, looks good, just dont like the idea of changing the sensors(tpms) that can get costly, i got the same truck, i like the look(kinda oem)

    Keep in’s mind that wheels center on the center bore, not the lug nuts and the Camry has a smaller center bore than the Tacoma. If you machine the center bore to the perfect size and is machined perfectly center, they will spin true. If the bore is made extra large like people do and say “to be safe” it will shake. If the center bore is too large, then as soon as you tighten the first lug, the other 4 are locked in place off center. Then you tighten the rest crushing an off center depression in the aluminum lug seat and the wheels are ruined. They now will sit off center every time you tighten the lugs following the off center impression that was made. I’ve been an ASE master tech and the manager at a wheel shop for total 23 years and just blow my mind how people don’t understand how absolutely necessary being hub centric is.
