    Hi everyone, new member here.
    I have a 2021 tacoma and I found a set of new tires on FB Marketplace off of a 2025 Tacoma. The guy I bought them from threw in his wheels as well. The wheels are pretty sweet and they make my tacoma look pretty good. I just wanted the tires for my truck but now I want to use the wheels as well. The only problem is the bolts and lug nuts are different sized. I called Toyota dealer and found out they don’t sell anything to match the 2025 wheels to a 2021 body.
    Has anyone done this swap and can offer advice to how I could do it too?

    thank a lot.

    4th gen wheels don't fit older trucks.

    I think you may have just found one reason why.

    Have you tried slipping one on to see if the lug pattern and hub diameters are compatible?

    Your truck has a hub size of 106.1mm, the new wheels have a 95.1mm hub.

    Looks like it isn’t worth it to get some generic spacers from Amazon and try to make them work. thanks for all your input everyone!
