    So the parts geek website is incorrectly labeled you think or those wheels are actually 5.5 BP?

    I don't think those alloy 15 inchers came on the later tacos. For some reason it seems like they're from 4runners. I've seen that same style wheel in 16 inch with the 4.5 backspacing on tacos.

    I think they are labeled correctly, just incorrect application for your taco. The lug pattern is same. Not sure if those wheels in 15 inch will clear the calipers.

    All the 16 and 15 oem are all saying 5.5 BP on their site for 01 Tacoma

    I was looking to order the 16x7 for $56 each

    I suppose the spare is a different backspacing... do you have a spare to measure from. I'd be happy to measure my 16" spare for you

    Gimme a couple minutes (30-45) and I'll get you some measurements and pictures, my spare is from an 02 so I think it should be what you're looking for

    I really don't know which wheel on that link is listed correctly or not.
    Here's a link that has a diagram of the OEM offerings from 2001 to 2004:

    Anything else you want specs on. I only measured back spacing.

    1st gen OEM is 4.5 as far as I know.... My SCS are 4.5 too because that is what Vin told me was stock backspacing. My current setup pokes out of the body as much as stock did with similar tires. Also I'd be happy to sell you this steelie if you had something to replace it with

    By the way... If you don't mind used steelies Spaldings Auto Wrecking... The largest parts yard in WA has these all time on sale days for like $30 because they can't get rid of them. They ship parts so it may be worth a look into.
