    I'm not a smart guy when it comes to the wheel/tire game. I want to buy a cheap set of rims to mount some blizzaks for the winter. I found a set of wheels from a friend of a friend that claims they came off a FJ Cruiser. They are "BBS 17" rims with a 6 lug, 5.5 (137.5) bolt pattern. They are pictured below.

    Will they fit my 2011 Tacoma TRD Sport Access Cab? Will I need any different lugs or shims to center them on the hub? Will they clear the caliper?

    Like I said, I'm totally clueless here. Thanks for the help!!!!

    A little of this and a little of that.
    Hey Chris, you’re looking at BBS RD 17” wheels.

    Yes, they were available on FJ Cruisers as an optional wheel.

    I have them on my 2011 DCSB, so I know that they clear the calipers. No shims needed to center on hub, but I think (not 100%) the lugs are different from stock Sport wheels.

    See if you can get the lugs from your friend of a friend.

    I would imagine I can get new lugs? is there any way to know if they'll clear the calipers without physically mounting them?


    Edit.....Sorry I just re-read your post. They WILL clear. Thanks!!!
