    Hi all,
    When I bought my truck it came with one of those small temporary spare tires. I would like to get a full size spare for it.
    I have research and it seems that this truck uses 5x114.3 lug pattern and 67.1 center bore. It came with 15" steel rims, Does anyone know of another manufacturer or model with the same specs I can use the steel rim from? There are no tacomas at junkyards in my area, they all get shipped overseas I heard.

    Thanks in advance.

    5x4.5 inch wheels fit, which is a pretty common size (lots of jeeps use them). I'm sure you can find a cheap white steel trailer wheel at a hardware store or a farm and fleet type place

    How precise is the measurement? I don't get 4.5" at all between stub center to center. more like 4-5/16 or 110mm, 114 is clearly past the center of the stub.

    Ford ranger wheel works too. You sure you are measuring to the farthest away stud?

    I would look for 15s of old nissans, they are a perfect match. Also many toyota camrys. Basically any import mid size car from the 90s and up


    And your wheels are for sure 5x144.3mm bolt pattern.
