Post up your steelies!

I literally just saw a post earlier of a 3rd Gen with steel wheels and it looked fantastic, and now I can't seem to find it again. So, let's see those 3rd gens with steelies!

Size
Lift
Tire size etc

 

Look in here

I've looked for over 2 hours and I can't find it... I've dug through all the posts I can find.

Side note, does anyone have issues commenting using an Android? My key strokes and autocorrect is going insane...

 

What style steel wheel was it? OEM or aftermarket?

The thread I posted above look on page 2 and then page 11.

They were aftermarket. I think they were on a silver one as well.

 

I had them and only took one photo of it. I put my winter tires on them.

Looked terrible, they are on a 2nd gen now. All 4 oem steel rims for spare tire on a SR5.

 

I agree that the factory style wheels look terrible lol

 

Hey, I'm going with a fullsize allow spare this week. What do I do with my 16 inch steelie?

 

AHA! I FOUND IT!

I figured I would update you guys on information regarding series 252 Pro Comp steelies. Part number 252-6883 will not fit without at least a 1/4" spacer, and you cannot use the factory TPMS sensors due to the valve stem being too long. These are my findings and I thought that I would share them.

 

oem steelies with 255 85 16s

 

Here's mine, 16" factory spares with 255/85-16 BFG KM2's. Painted using the factory white used on the FJ Cruiser roof.

 

Anyone know - what is the purpose of the slot vs. a normal hole at the valve stem?

 

I used to think so.... They look just fine with the right tire on them.

 

I have been looking for these wheels to out on my third gen .did you find out where to get them? I have called several places and they all tell me they don't have them

 

Where did you get your center caps??

 

I've always though it's so you can identify them. With 15 holes and an oval 16th is 5.25" backspacing on 2nd and 3rd gen and the older 16 holes with no oval 16" spare like used on 1st gen had less, 4.5" I think.

 

It is so the valve stem can be accessed with an end wrench to tighten the TPMS sensor....

 

Now that explanation makes sense.

But it does raise a couple of questions. Most spares don't have TPMS sensors (although my 2008 does) and why then don't the 17" spares have an oval or the previous generation 16"?

This is a 5 lug, just a Google image search. I *think* it's a Tundra spare.

 

Had them put on before it came off the lot - FJC17 w 255/70-17 Blizzaks.
