question about going from steel wheels to alloys

I have a 2007 Prerunner with 16 inch factory steel wheels. Wanting to go with toyota alloy wheels what specs do I need to know when buying alloy wheels? Thanks,

 

I believe I would get with the dealership on that if they are coming from Toyota? Wheel width, back spacing is important.

 

If you have 6 bolt lug nuts you should just be able to mount up and go.

 

Just curious as to what metals are used in the make up of these alloy wheels?

 

I switched from steel to Trd off-road wheels on my Prerunner. You will need the lug nuts to go with the alloy wheels & will need new TPMS sensors for alloy wheels as the ones for steel wheels aren't angled properly to work with alloy wheels.

 

No. The wheels need to be Hub Centric. Plus the Offset, Width. He would also need new lug nuts to match the Alloy Wheels. He will also need new TPMS Sensors as they are different than the ones in the steel wheels. Or he could rig a TPMS Pressurized Container... to bypass the sensors.

 

shop for wheels at tire rack for your make and model, just don't commit to buy

they will display the wheels that fit and what offset and whatnot...other wheel sites
can do the same...this is the hobo method of learning bolt patterns and offsets and
what hub inserts (rings) may be needed
