Will 6 lug 2nd & 3rd gen factory wheels fit our 1st gens?

Picking up a 1st gen (2003) on Monday and really like some of the wheels that come from the factory on the 2nd and 3rd gens.

They are super affordable and easy to find on Craigslist.

Is it a straight swap? Can I assume that the 6 lug spacing and fitment are the same for all gens?

Thanks

 

Yep both generations bolt up. The backspacing is a little different though for some types of the wheels. May have some effect if you have bigger than stock tires.

 

Also check out this thread. Has a lot of specs for different types of Tacoma wheels https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/wheel-specs.30754/unread

 

Thanks...
I have this 03 TRD 4x4





Would like to put these wheels on them.
Other than going from 16" to 17" and the speedo being off, will these bolt up without any backspacing issues? I don't want them to stick out all funny ya know

 

Yes they will fit. not sure on what the back spacing is for those wheels as they are 3rd Gen wheels. I believe they actually have a little more(sit in farther) than 1st Gen wheels. Here is a guys that has 3rd Gen wheels on his '03 https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/2016-wheels-on-the-04.421856/

 

Sweet, thanks! Just what I was looking for!

 

For the record, the 2nd Gen off road look the best on a 1st gen white doublecab





EDIT (3/21/19):. Ended up dumping these wheels. Just too much frame rub at full lock. Wheels look awesome, backspacing on 2nd/3rd gen wheels sucks for us.

Go back to the stock wheels or something with close to 4.5 backspacing Also the post below is a great alternative @ 4.625 backspace.

 

You can also run 3rd Gen 4Runner wheels as well.

 

Ohhhhhhhh

Me likey.

That looks great! As I was walking through the parking lot in to work this morning Isaw a 2nd gen with those exact wheels and wondered how they would look.
Thanks for the pics!

 

2016 trd offroad. I like 'em!

 

Fj wheels
Not my truck, but i am getting the same wheels this weekend!

 

Yep, the only complaint I have about these is the clear coat on the wheel chips very easily (think where weights are attached - when I had them mounted, I asked the tech to install the weights on the backside of the wheel). If you are looking at swapping these in, it may take some time to find a perfect set.

 

2nd Gen OR wheels, powder coated black.

 

THE THIRD gen 4 runner wheels looks great on the double cab.

 

Hi guys,
New member here. I have an 02 crew cab and I'm looking to upgrade my wheels.
Will these 13 17" wheels fit my truck with no issues? Is the gas mileage affect dramatically by in creasing the wheel size?
Thanks everyone.

 

The wheels will bolt up no problem. That tire size will rub the fame on those wheels at full lock.

 

My fj crusier wheels. 17x7.5 +15mm. 265/70r17 Goodyear AT/S.

Slight rub on the mudflaps. Slight frame rub at full lock on both sides.

 

Will a smaller tire size solve that issue?

 

Yes. You are at a slight disadvantage because those wheels sit 10mm further inboard than stock. A 265/65r17 shouldnt rub.
