Thank you for the info.
Now I have another perplexing question regarding the 2024 wheels and lug nuts. The 24 now has 14MM X 1.5 lug nuts while the previous Tacomas had 12MM X 1.5. Dealer says stock wheels off a 2023 Tacoma will fit my 2024 but I seriously question this. Pictures attached.
The shoulder of the bigger 24 lug nuts is much wider that the 23. By the "Shoulder" I mean the bottom of the lug nut that goes into the wheel and keeps the wheel centered on the hub. I assume the hole in the 23 wheel would have to be drilled out for the larger 24 shoulder to fit into it. Am I correct?

Toyota wheels are not kept centered by the lug nuts; rather they are "hub centric", meaning that the wheel is centered by the hub at the very center of the wheel. The lug nuts have no centering function.
Thank you. I think I just educated myself about wheels and lug nuts. The 2023
Tacoma wheels should fit fine but I probably can't use the OEM lugs with the flat washers. I see now I can get lug nuts that have a taper or are conical and that might be the solution for me. Up here in the NY Catskills I always have 2 sets of wheels and tires, Summer and winter treads for best economy on dry roads and best traction in snow and ice. So, I still have a nice set of KMC wheels with good Blizzak tires and TPMS sensors I used on my 4Runner and all I should need is a set of 14MM X 1.5 tapered lug nuts.
