    Hi everyone this is my truck and would like to add OEM 3rd gen off road wheels and tires from a 2021 taco, I believe I would need new lug nuts for these wheels as my stock ones are a different size right?

    So I ended up deciding on 2021 Tacoma limited 265 60 r18 wheels since I live in San Francisco and do mostly city driving.
    The off road wheels have a nice aggressive look and more thread for my needs.

    question!
    Do these 18in wheels make a huge difference in performance?

    thank you all in advance?upload_2022-11-8_21-27-48.png

    Correct. Lugnuts that came with OEM steelie wheels are different than ones that come with alloys.

    Thanks for your prompt reply, just wanted to make sure.
    First time posting here and will update my account once I get them installed as I know most members like to see others upgrades
    Much appreciated

    You’ll also need TPMS monitors for alloy wheels. I believe 3rd gen TPMS won’t work on 2nd gen. Someone who knows more can correct me if I’m wrong.

    I think the early 3rd gen (16-18?) are compatible, but 19/20 and onward uses the new style TPMS. The Car Care Nut on youtube has a video explaining the transition to the new style (around 17min mark on video):

    Thanks for the video, you are right!
    If want 2021 alloy wheels I need 2nd gen sensors for alloy wheels in order for the cpu to read them.

    Looks like I need these here , mechanic says I’ll need 5 so cpu can also read the spare tire.

    You only need 4, most spares are steel with no tpms installed.unless your getting an aluminum 2021 spare, waste of time and money.

    i see, his point was that the cpu reads 5 sensors and that my full size spare also has a sensor.
    Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated

    The cpu stores what you manually input or what the reader inputs. There are 5 spots, you only need 4 to be inputted, the spare which it is marked can be left blank. 3rd gens might be different, you have a 2 nd Gen. Which only require 4 tpms inputs.
