    Will these work on my 1997 Base model without mods? Tires are 285/70/17.

    I have the older 4runner pro wheels on my 1st gen with 265/70/17 and rub at full lock backing up. Suspension is ome 2881 and camburg uca. Wheel bolt pattern fits no problem, although its looks like you have locking front hubs and im not sure if those would fit through the center cap area? Center cap on new 4runner pro wheel is 3in just measured on my 4runner

    33x12.5 MTs on these 3rd gen limited wheels. From what I can find, they’re 18x7.5 with +18 mm or + 25 mm ( I’ve found differing information). Already have 1” spacer but I rub the frame horribly at full lock. I’m thinking I’ll need a 2” spacer to keep from rubbing the frame. Any input?

    Mostly cosmetic but she ain’t stock(looking) anymore.
    Love my gloss black 16” TRD Pro 8 spokes for 2016-2019 Tacoma w/ Toyo Open Country 265/75 AT 3’s. With a 13mm offset, these are one of the closest to our first gen. 6 lug stock wheels(15mm), no rubbing at full lock w/stock suspension, no spacers, and my fender liner zip tie mod.

    I always thought the BG wheels looked too wide for this application.
    I ended up selling them and going with the stock configuration.

    Wow truck looks really good on those stock steelies. Any issues running a 15" wheel on the front brake rotors (any rubbing)? What size tire are you running? Do you have a part number for the hubcaps? sorry for all the questions.

    Looking to install these same wheels on my son’s 98 with manual hubs. Anything you needed to do first or they just bolt right up?

    Bolts up fine. Backspacing isn’t right though, these wheels sit very tucked into the truck.
