Help with new wheels!

[Will733]

I've only heard of people try using the 05-2010 Tacoma 5-spoke 17" wheels (which I believe are the same as the 4th gen 4Runner) but haven't seen pictures for proof.

I really like the look of 5-spokes and the 7.5" width would allow me to get 285's but I am worried about the difference in offset and backspacing.

The Tacoma wheels have 15mm (.6") of offset, and a 5.5" backspacing. Comparing to my SR5 wheels with 0 offset and 4.5 backspacing, can this even work?

So if I understand correctly...
The difference in offset will set these .6" inward.
The difference in backspacing will set these 1" inward.
The difference in rim width will set these .25" inward.
The difference in 285 tires will set these .4" inward.
Total pushing inside 2.25"

With the help from spidertrax 1.25"... It would still be about an inch inward so would this work?

Hopefully I am wrong on this, since even with the increased rim width, and tire width... It would still also stick out .35" less on the outside. Most of the gain in width will all be making up for the HUGE amount pushed inward.

Really hoping my math is wrong here cause those 5 spokes would look nice.

Got confused with all the numbers, :redbrick:

In the end the Tacoma wheels with 285's will not fit unless you run aftermarket control arms or add the Spidertrax Wheel Spacers. The wheels are inset a tad bit more than yours which will cause UCA rubbing. The Tacoma wheels centerline is outset a bit more vs your SR5 wheels, The difference in wheel width and backspacing probably cancel each other out in regards to how far the tire sticks out which for both wheels will be about the same.

Tacoma wheels and Spidertrax spacers along with 285's will give you a nice wide stance.

Take a look at a 2010 4Runner with Trail wheels and 285's then just imagine them sticking out about .75" more on each side after the wheel spacer install with Tacoma wheels.

Hope this makes sense. Someone please correct me if anything I wrote down is wrong. Thanks

Thanks and I hope you are right man... I am just as confused with all those numbers as you are, but from reading so much on here about offset and backspacing, it's got me worried now

On my 2008 Tacoma I had the wheels you're looking at, came stock on the Sport Editions. I later bought and installed FJ Cruiser Aluminum Wheels which has the same backspacing as the Trail edition wheels on the 4Runners which in turn gave me a slightly wider stance.

Just for reference, Basically I ran the Trail wheels with Spacers on my 4Runner which is the same as running those FJ wheels with spacers. If I were to put those Tacoma wheels on, they would be tucked in about .75" per side.

Its hard to tell in the pics from the angle, but the stock wheels were tucked inside the fenders about .75" per side, with the FJ wheels, they were then flush with the outside of the fenders.

The 5-spokes fit...

I'll try and get better pictures up soon.
