I like those 4Runner wheels - too bad the BS is too much (5 3/8" vs 4 1/2" on the Tundra wheels)

Are you using spacers with those 4th gen wheels Rob? I thought these wheels have more backspacing then 3rd gens meaning they will be tucked in too much.

Nope. I'm not using any spacers, they fit fine, in fact they stick out the same as my other tires did. So it doesnt look too bad with the stock sized tires.

Just some local guy who had an extra set plus they had the bridgestones on em I was impressed, I also found 2 more stock bridgestones w/decent tread for $15 that I'm getting too.

Thannks for the pics Rob. To me, those look like they are tucked under more than the stockers. Pretty sure the 4th Gen wheels have roughly 7/8" MORE backspacing from what I've heard (5 3/8" vs. 4 1/2" for 3rd Gen/Tundra).

I love those wheels though...

I just put a set of those exact wheels on mine. They need a 1" spacer to fill the wheel well. It's not that apparent from the side view, but from the back it looks goofy-footed.

Cebby & Phisherman are right about the backspacing. I am actually going the otherway around... ditching the 4th gen runner wheels for 01-04 Taco wheels. This will push my wheels out about 5/8" (15mm).

Just curious, where everyone is getting 17" Sequoia/Tundra wheels from? I'd like to get a set, but couldnt' find them for a decent price.

Thanks,

In my opinion, the Sequoia wheel is the best looking wheel that toyota has made yet-

i love mine...
