New wheels on older truck?

Will these fit a 2002 Tacoma ?

 

yep...

with stock size tires. anything over and you will need spacers or to make room

 

A follow up question - I've seen the term "wheel spacers" before, but never seen the real article. What are they, exactly? A shim between the hub and the wheel? If so, do they require longer lugs? Finally, what problem do they solve?

Thanks

 

depends on how big the "spacer"

true wheel spacers should be "hub specific" meaning the load is on the hub and not "Bolt specific" having the load on the lug nuts. they range from .75" to 2"+

wheel spacers (hub specific):



wheel spacers (crappy):

 

Thanks!
I went ahead and bought them and will use the stock size tire....

 

New Wheels Older Truck...Direct Bolt On

 

those 18s look good

 

Needed the 1.25 Spidertrax (hub centric) for these.

 

so what year truck did those rims come from? and whats the size difference? did you need to "or should" change the speedo gear

 

those are the Limited 18" wheels. stock size is 265/60-18 and no spacers needed. If you bump a size in tire you may have rubbing issues on the control arm.

 

And I'm mostly positive toyota 6 lugs are all 6 x 5.5 (except maybe the cars).

X2. The wider tires on mine hit the UCA. Got lug centric ones first..nope, had the shakes so I got the hub centric.
