I'm getting ready to look at this truck tomorrow. I noticed the rims looked weird and realized they're 3rd gen rims on a 4th gen truck. Does anyone know off the top of their heads whether or not those rims are correct offset etc to be mounted on a 2004? Thanks.
I know my stock sr5 wheels were a 30 (mm) offset, I believe the ones on this truck are a 20 (mm) offset.So therefore , these (3rd gen wheels) do stick out slightly further than stock wheels on an 04. You should be fine, they might stick out 3/8 of an inch more max, i have no issues running my 15 (mm) offset wheels. Other 4th gen factory wheels were 15 (mm) offset from toyota, and they work just fine.
EDIT: Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

I wouldn't let those wheels be a deal breaker. Heck, you're going to end up replacing them sooner or later anyway!

You're correct. I was just concerned about damage to the hub/studs from driving on wheels not designed/compatible for the truck.

All previous generation 4runner wheels are compatible with each other , the only incompatibility issues you'd run in to would be with brake clearance.
