Can't help you on fitment, but FYI I ran ProComp steelies on my old ZJ, and in a few years the powdercoating was flaking off and they were rusting. Also, the center caps they come with are GARBAGE, if you do not clear coat them first, they'll be rusty within a month. I ended up waiting till mine were super rusty, then sanded them down and painted them gloss black to match the wheels. Looked much better than the chrome anyway.

Are those wheels hub centric or lug centric?
Yea I've seen them on other trucks before. I'm getting them through my work at a great price w/ tires. The 4Runner is a 3rd car so i'm not overly concerned.
not sure to be honest

If I recall, they're lug-centric.
Just did a little recon - seems lug-centric.
So would the 8" give me any trouble? I have fender flares so sticking out wouldn't be too bad in my mind.

Oddly enough I laid out wheel and tire widths in CAD recently while trying to determine how my own wheels and tires will fit. I can't tell you whether or not it will rub but this should give you a close approximation of where the tire will sit.
The red line on the left side represents the outer face of the "limited" style fender flares, which your truck has. With that backspace and tire/wheel width it should sit almost perfectly flush. I'm not sure how clearance will be while turning, but I see lots of people run wheels that are flush like that. I'm actually doing 8" wheels with 285 tires myself.

OH DAMN! Awesome! Thanks for sharing this - super informative. You're running stock no lift I assume?

Currently I have stock wheels with 265 tires on. But my 8" wheel and 285mm wheel combo will be going on along with a 3" lift.
The dimensions are based on a tape measurement from my outer fender flare to tire wall, so don't take is as gospel. but it should be a close estimate. Once I finish the install and verify my dimensions I might try to share a full chart of different tire and wheel combos on here.
Also, a guy in this thread posted an image of his 8" wheels with 4" backspacing on what I believe to be 285 tires. My chart suggests it should come past his fender by about 5/8" and it looks like that is where it's sitting.

I figured you'd be putting a lift on yours.
My 265/75 R16 tire measurements plus the 16x8 wheels should be fine from what I'm finding. That tire measurement seems to be the magic number in terms of maximum size w/o lifting.
Yea, I saw that you asked him for measurements. I asked yesterday if he had any lift on there.

Were they the series 51/52? I just ordered a set of those... Also for a 2001. Pretty sure I've seen other people running them?
I might preemptively order a couple of 1/4" spacers for the front if rubbing is possible.

Series 51 D-Window. I'm not sure why they're rubbing, but from what I'm learning spacers, no matter what size aren't a great idea. Won't pass safety inspection and they're not all that safe. Safety is an issue because the wheels are lug centric rather than hub centric. That means all of the pressure is now on the lugs. I was also told that the flanged lugs that came stock on my 4Runner would need to be replaced with standard lugs.

Really? Aren't there a whole lot of people on here running spacers? How do you plan on fitting the wheels, shaving the caliper?
I ordered a set of gorilla lug nuts off of amazon. I wanted black to match anyways.
Nooga, Same answer as the other thread but hopefully u see it in either place:
Im going to take the passenger front off again and check for any rubbing. I couldn't see any grooves or scrapes on that caliper. If that one is clean then i know something is up with the driver side. Maybe just file down where the groove is forming on the caliper.

I hear ya. I'm going to order a couple of the 1/4" spacers from wheeler's. I've heard so many different things that I can't decide on what the best option is to make them fit. I read in one thread on tacomaworld to pick spacers over doing any grinding, but it just seems to be a lot of random opinions. I also heard that the "adapter" style spacers are better than the normal spacers like I picked, but people say you have to consistently check the torque of the inner nuts and I also don't want that much offset from that style (1" or more). That also seems to be a lot of opinions with little actual instances of things actually going wrong?
Consistently checking the torque sounds like it would be a pain over time. Adding that 1/4" adapter would bump the offset out a little bit too far. It wouldn't be the end of the world, but too much IMHO. With the back 2 fitted on my truck now they're almost flush with the SR5's fender flares and looks just about right to me.
This post from Friday88 earlier in this thread I've found to be pretty accurate for the 265 tire on the 8" wheel in relation to the fender flares:
The red line on the left side represents the outer face of the "limited" style fender flares, which your truck has. With that backspace and tire/wheel width it should sit almost perfectly flush.
