    I found a set of older 17" jeeps Cherokee wheels on craigslist. I have a 2008 5lugger. They come with a 5x4.5 pattern adapter. Will these fit on my tacoma? Thanks for any help!

    Those look like new wrangler wheels and adapters to fit them to old tj hubs. The issues you might run into are fitting the adapters to the toyota hub center (73mm down to 60.1mm ) and weather after the adapters are on do they fit in the wheels wells. It might be cheaper to find older jeep wheels or a fwd car wheel that has the same hub size ( there are many) even the rav4, highlander, and liberty and patriot/compass have wheels that will be a better easier fit.

    Also I think 245/65r17 would require you to remove the black boxes.

    Thank you for replying. I guess I'll keep searching and waiting patiently. Budget builds require that. Haha

    Are you looking for bigger wheels for lift or lowering?

    The cheap way is to find solara rav4 steel wheels. They are cheap and an easy fit in 16 or 17. Highlanders also have the same hubs and bolt pattern. They go up to 18s. I have found solara 16 steels for 25 bucks each on ebay. I found old tj wheels at tires for mine real cheap but had to grind back the calipers a bit to make them fit.

    Look for 5x 4.5 bolt 60.1 mm hub wheels.
