96 5 lug issues help

I have a 96 5 lug Tacoma 2 wheel drive. Truck came with 14 inch rims and hub caps. I did research and thought I did enough but the 5 lug Tacoma rims I bought that are supposedly from 2015 would fit. I bought them and now I find out that don't fit.

Can someone link me to more info or better yet a list of what rims will fit my truck.

646 208 7461 if you have some in the NYC area

 

do a search on a big tire company chain looking up wheels, it will give you lug and backspacing info you need.

Or call them

 

I was hoping there would be a sticky for that explaining what people have tried and what works or doesn't work. What exactly am I suppose to search?

Can you share specifically what doesn't fit?

 

pretty sure the backspacing is way off like the 6 lugs are between generations.

The older trucks had a more sucked in narrow stance so they needed a wider offset and less backspace wheel.

The newer 05+ trucks have a wider set wheel stance and require a narrower offset with more backspace.

Putting a 05+ wheel on a 96-04 truck makes the wheels suck into the wheel wells a lot more.

 

Makes sense. Thanks.

 

The bolt pattern would be the same as the 05, but your hub bore size . 67.1Mm and the second gen is 60.1 so, look for wheels with 67.1 hub or larger (jeep tj wranglers are 73.1) or you might be able ot have the others machined out to 67.1, but not really worth that.

When you search for new wheels look up:
bolt pattern (5 x 114.3 or 5x4.5)
stud size
hub bore diameter (67.1mm or larger)
offset (40mm or high positive)
back spacing. ( 4 inches, maybe?)

look for wheels that were on front wheel drive cars from the factory, japanese or us, and search them up online.
Roadkill customs website has a huge chart of all makes and models that would share bolt patterns to cross reference.

I just mounted 97 dodge intrepid steelies on my 09. 16x7 with a 71.5 mm hub size, so those might work.

 

My old 98 with 15s and 18s..

Got the 15s from discount tire and the 18s off another member.

 

As a general rule I'm not a fan of the white lettering out on tires, but that looks pretty sweet on you truck.

 

finding wheels that fit was pretty easy too, the lug pattern was the same as most american cars like the crown vic

 

All but Chevy, damn stupid 5x115 bolt pattern.

 

I know for a fact that ford mustang and jeep wrangler wheels fit

 

So all jeep wrangler will fit? I found this nice 94 that I may try.

 

Wrangler pre 2007. The JK has a different bolt pattern.

 

Thanks very much in going to get me a set ill post pictures when they are done

 

Still haven't made the choice.

Can anyone confirm that 94 Cherokee rims are direct bolt on.

This is the rim style but the ones I want are mint condition

this is my 97 i had the jeep canyon rims on it for a few weeks. they fit just fine.

 

What lug nuts did you use. OEM are why to small

 

Anyone have input here? The lug nuts are very small and in afraid they don't sit flush on the rim.
