    I'm looking to get some aluminum wheels for my 2014 tacoma that currently has steel wheels. Am I likely to need longer wheel studs or experience any fitment problems with these. I'm staying with the same size 16 in. wheels. ThanksScreenshot_20200215-210153_Facebook.jpg

    Does that year have tire pressure sensors? Because on the newer ones the steel sensors aren't the same as the aluminum ones.

    If those 3rd gen wheels have the original sensors they will not work on a 2nd gen. You will need the proper sensors as some stated above or just drive with the tpms light on no biggie.

    My steel wheels have tpms sensors but the alloys I purchased do not. I'll have to go to discount tire & have them get me the correct ones.
