newer wheels on older tacoma

My 2003 tacoma with 2018 rims

 

Now it has rockstars

 

2003 tacoma

 

Old thread revival. Nice pics in it!
Will the factory 16" steel or alloy rims off a 2017 fit my 03? Not looking to upsize, just sticking with the same diameter, but less bent...

 

Yes they'll fit, offset is different though so rims will sit inside the fenders more

 

Looks like the backspacing on the newer rims is 3/4" less than the gen-1. Is this going to be a problem with the tire contacting the upper ball joint area? It's awful darn close...!

 

Screw it. Got some beat up alloys from another 1st gen. Cleaned them up, painted them graphite metallic, and off we go...!

 

Smart move. There's something about the "forward thrust" look of the stock alloys that seems to fit this truck's lines better than the "laser-cut" look of the ensuing gens.
The design guys knew what they were doing.

 

Here’s mine

 

These came off my '18 TRD OR, but I didn't want to use spacers, the offset is a little too small to clear the fender flares.

 

Did you have to use different lug nuts with these rims?

 

New stock steelies, 1.25” spidertrax, OEM center caps

 

No, The stock lug nuts from the snowflake wheels will work fine.

 

Yes it will fit. My original rims size 15 was replaced and came from a Tundra size 16. Enjoy

 

got more pics of this setup? im looking at getting these wheels they hard to come across though

 

Did you experience paint chips? I see rims painted black with a lot of paint chips. What did you use to have the paint stay longer? Thanks and stay safe.

 

I’m running 17” take offs with skinny’s. Having to run spacers in the front due to taller tires now. Switching out to 06 tundra wheels next week.

 

While my truck is not a Pre-Runner, I'm responding so you can check the link in my Signature. Lots of usefulness to be had.
