Official 5-Lug Picture Thread

I run the cragar soft 8s which have -11 offset. Nice find those should be fine.

5 lug under the knife again. New core support and new turbo.

 

I just got a 99 2wd and I would love to throw on some factory 5 lug wheels. Some RAV4 Wheels look like they would be a nice fit. Just want something simple and clean. Any other Toyota 5lug options for us?

 

Center bore on the 1st gen Tacoma is 67.1. Center bore on most other Toyota 5 lug wheels are 60.1. From what I've found, the offsets for most of them should work fine but you'd have to bore out the center in order to get them to fit.

I was bored one day and poor man photo shopped (I'm probably the only person that still uses Microsoft Paint!) many of the RAV4, Highlander and Sienna wheels onto my truck to see what it would look like. Almost all of them do look pretty nice but I didn't feel like messing with the center bore so I went a different route and used 16" Hyundai Sonata wheels because they have a 67.1 center bore and they bolted right up.

EDIT: some of them are not quite to scale so they look more like 20" instead of 16" or 17" that they actually are.

 

Mazdaspeed 3, mazda rx8, Mitsubishi evo x have large enough hub bores.

 

Dang dude thanks! Yeah I don’t want to have to bore them either

 

Hyundai, Kia, Jeep and I think Dodge all have wheels with 67.1 centers. Ford and Buick have hubs larger than 67.1 so they'd work with some rings. I'm sure there's others, that's what I could remember off the top of my head. Just need to be sure to look for wheels that are 5 x 114.3. All those makes have wheels that have slightly smaller and slightly larger lug spacing so just double check that since those obviously wont work.

 

The ones I mentioned are for sure 5x114.3

 

Yesterday we were able to finish the lift on my 09 5 lug Tacoma. We installed a 2.75 inch lift and put 265/70/15 Nexen tires on the truck. Since doing it it feels like a completely new ride. Acceleration is a little slowed but the thing turns well and feels much sturdier (more pictures to come soon).

 

Haven't posted on here in forever but heres an update

 

Here is my 5 lug converted into a 6 lug

 

Just adapters

 

I invested a lot into it thanks lol , I added the fenders and oem flares , trd good with scoop , got the roof rails custom made for 2 door Tacoma , the mirrors with blinkers , the leveling kit , oem trd skid plate , the wheel adapters , the wheels , oem mud flaps

 

Anyone know if 06 Ford Escape rims will fit my truck ? Bore 67.7 with offset of 45

 

Probably, mustang rims will so i dont see why those wont

 

My little stock 5 lugger with about 800lbs of seafood cargo. Surprised it doesn't sag even more in the rear with all that weight plus the weight of the topper. It's hauled this type of weight 2-3 days a week for almost 3 years now without issue. Although i did get a brand new frame, leaf springs and control arms and brake lines as part of the frame recall back in May. It's like a new truck under there. New tires are on the horizon so I may finally do a small lift and 235s in the coming months

 

Looks nice! I've had 1300lbs of salt for a water purifier in the back before and it handeled it like a champ! I really reccomend 235's, i have no input on the lift. I've been on the fence forever, I ordered it last week and cancelled because i feel 300$ for a spacer (basically a hockey puck) and an add a leaf is no where worth that.

 

I've had putting a lift on on the back burner as well for about 2 years. The tires were like new when I got it so I knew I wouldn't do a lift until I needed new tires and bigger ones. Now that the time for new tires will be here in probably 2-3k miles I'm thinking again about a lift. Now that I've got basically a new truck underneath from the recall I'm more willing to spend the $300 on the lift since I plan on keeping this truck for a long time even if it because a 2nd or 3rd vehicle. I'm also thinking of color matching the camper shell. I drop my Jeep Cherokee XJ off tomorrow to be painted and I'm going to see about a quote on the shell while I'm there.

 

Colour matched shell would look sweet !
