2nd Gen rims on a 3rd Gen?

Sorry if this has been posted before. I searched and didn't find anything.

The Sport has 17" stock rims. I bought a nearly mint set of 16" rims from a 2015 SR5 for snow tires. I put them on and there is maybe a 1/4" clearance between the caliper and rim. Nothing rubbing though.

Is this enough room? I checked a new Tacoma at the dealer with 16" rims and the newer model seems to have a a bit more room.

 

If it fits, it ships.

 

I think all the Toyota 6 lug wheels are interchangeable.... cant say for the 5 lugs.

 

Yes. the gen 2 6 lugs will fit. I have tried and run them.

 

I can assure you that is the exact same clearance those wheels had on the 2015. Nothing changed.

You're fine.

Is this a sticky yet? I foresee this being a common question/search topic. In my area I've seen at least 10 sets of 2nd gen Tacoma 6 lugs for sale/trade in the last month on various sites.

Glad I searched for this too. Just to triple confirm for anyone else, I phoned Toyota and they confirmed these rims will fit.

Furthermore, the 3rd Gen off-road comes with 16" rims while my Sport has 17" Rims. There is no discernible height difference between the two trim levels, just different suspension gear.

This might be of help

 

You're fighting a losing battle sadly.

 

Lol I'm just poking the bear.
