So I got tired of reading through countless posts to end up with the same conclusion of people putting 4th gen wheels on their 3rd gen truck. I want to do the opposite but ran into some issues.
I of course was stupid and assumed that the wheels should just bolt on since the newer 4runner didn't seem to have bigger brakes. I was wrong.
This is the spacing on the stock rim....
The rims I want to put on but seem to hit the caliper pretty harshly
I used 1/4 inch thick lock washers as a temp solution to get home and will be picking up 1/4 inch spacers from the local Lordco. The only difference I can see between the rims is the spokes are quite a bit thicker on the older rim.
Can anyone else tell me if they used the older rims on a stock tire size with anything other then 1 1/2 inch to 2 inch bolt on spacers.
I had thought about getting a Tundra rim next year to replace the tires once and for all. I really like this one but I am now nervous about what spacing they used
