    So some of the new Broncos have the same bolt pattern as the tacomas do. Although the ford bore is smaller (106mm vs 93mm) has anyone run into something like this and made it work successfully? I know Tacoma wheels are hub centric and trying to find a workaround that’s safe. A small spacer could take up the gap but you lose thread length on the lugs.

    I’m not necessarily sold on these but I know it’s the same thing for some GM wheels that have a design I like. But having a newer takeoff with good tires seems to be a lot cheaper than just buying a set of tires.

    That's a lot of sketchy steps to save a buck.

    Do people do it? Yes. Should they? No. There are already a million and one wheel offerings that were machined to our hub diameter. It's a huge market. Coming up with adapters so that one can shop outside of that already huge market makes no sense to me. It's like flying to Canada because they currently have a sale on hamburger meat.

    Takeoffs with almost new tires are 500-750 typically in my area of Texas. Some go higher. Particularly the TRD wheels.
    So if I see another style of wheel with same bolt pattern I always look for something nice vs just the stuff Toyota or aftermarket offers. Especially if I can save $1000 from buying new wheels/tires.

    But… yes. You are 100% correct. There are a million aftermarket options out there.
