18" Wheels

[JP4RNR]

I have a 2006 SR5 with the standard 16 inch stock wheels. If I want to upgrade to the 18" stock wheels is it a straight swap? Do I have to get larger brake rotors? Is the bolt pattern/offset the same. IF so anybody have rims they would like to sell?

straight tire/wheel swap

Yep, just did the same swap on mine last week only I had the 17" SR5 wheels. No problems at all and I love the look.

My '03 SE came with 17" wheels and larger brakes compared to the SR5 & Limited which came with 16" stock and smaller brakes.

4th gen Limiteds came with 17" rims for 2003-05 and 18" for 2006-09. Some Limiteds have the bigger 13.3" front brakes found on the Sport Edition, while others have the smaller 12.6". The 13.3" front brakes will not clear 16" rims. But all 4th gens use the same bolt patterns and can fit 17" or larger wheels without issue.

I have a nice set of 17" from 06 T4R SR5 w/25k on them I will sell cheap. They also have the oem tires that have over 50% tread left?

So if I have an 06 ltd and I want to swap my 18" wheels with 16" wheels I have to see if I have the 13.3" or 12.6" brakes to know if it will work? Is that the rotor that I measure? Thanks.

You would need to measure the rotors.

I used a bubble level that I placed on top of the rotor and set a tape measure (extended) right below it. Then I placed the bubble level on the bottom of the rotor against the tape measure. I used the bubble level to reference the measurements and ensure that it was parallel and not skewed, compared to just using a regular straight edge.

The other alternative is to check for the casting letters on the calipers. In the frozen caliper thread, a member posted the casting letters for the 12.6" rotors and 13.3" rotors.
