Limited Edition 20" Wheels / Extra Spare

[mwebster22]

I have a 2012 4R Limited Edition pearl white with 20" wheels. The edge of the "spokes" and center are like a gunmetal gray and the face on the spokes are the shiny aluminum. However my spare is on a 17" wheel. I want to pick up a 20" spare that matches the other four wheels.

Do all 5th Gen LE 4Rs have the same color/type of wheels? Anyone have any good suggestions on where to pick up a good used one?

Hi mwebster

I have the 'exact' same 4Runner right down to the BP color. I don't know why they gave you a 17 inch spare, mine is a 20" wheel. The only thing about the spare is that the rim is coated in epoxy to protect the alloy from the potentially harsh environment beneath the truck; see below:

As far as replacing the 17" rim, most of the guys here with the limited edition will remove the stock rim immediately upon purchase of the vehicle and install a more suitable candidate for 'off-road' use, so the classifieds (here on forum) should be full of the stock 20" rims, and will be more than reasonably priced!

Best to you!

It's a 17" aluminum wheel like what was on my 2006 4R sport, but painted yellow.

Did you purchase your 4Runner 'New' or 'Pre-owned*Cert'?

Okay, I'm an idiot. Just went out and dropped it down. I have the right spare wheel (20x7j, painted yellow) but it has a really big 275/55 20 tire on it. So I guess I'll just stick with it, but when I change tires will remount my best old 245/60 20 on it as that tire is way bigger than mine, and wouldn't want to run it for too long...

Was a used private sale; otherwise was perfect.
