Factory, TRD and Aftermarket 5th Gen 4Runner Wheels
5th Gen 4Runner Wheel Buyers Guide and Overview on Wheel Specs
We are going to break down a few things in this one. We are going to look at the specs of the TRD wheels, SR5 wheels, and Limited wheels. We are also going to break down a basic overview of bore size, offset, backspace, wheel weight, tires, and most of the basics when shopping for wheels.
We will also look at different options for aftermarket 5th Gen 4runner wheels.

Shopping for Wheels
- Bolt Pattern (5th Gen = 6×139.7mm(5.5″) or 6×5.5)
- Wheel Bore (5th Gen = 106mm – the size of the center hole on your wheel)
- Offset (-offset pushes the wheel out. +offset pushes wheel into the wheel well)
- Backspace (Similar to offset – the space between the center tire and inside wheel)
- Rating (Weight rating wheels were designed for)
- Weight (lb)
- Lug Type (tapered “conical” and radiused)
- LipSize (in)
5th Gen Hub Bore: 106.6mm
The hub bore is the large center hole machined into the wheel and mounts onto the hub of the wheel. Just because our bore is 106mm does not mean that aftermarket wheels with other sizes won’t fit. Aftermarket wheels with a bore of 108mm, for example, will fit a 106mm bore. Even wheels with a larger bore (110mm) will fit your hubs 106mm bore. Then comes hub centric and lug centric.
- Hub centric spacers: Do you need hub centric spacers to make up the difference? Yes and no. Some say yes and some say no and it usually depends on the size of the bore on your intended wheel.
- Lug centric: There are also lug centric wheels, which are most common on aftermarket wheels. Lug centric wheels are centered by the lug. If you have wheels that are lug centric, you often do not need hub centric spacers. It is important to note that you should always install lug centric wheels off the ground (on jack stands) where the wheel can center on its own.
The best thing to do is bring this up to your tire/wheel shop and hopefully, they will give you a good understanding. Also, it is not usually recommended to have hub centric and lug centric wheels as this will create unnecessary static loads on your wheel studs, however, some will argue the point.
Offset and Backspace
Low offset (measured by negative) pulls the wheel spokes into the wheel well creating more dish on the actual wheel. A negative offset will push your wheel out of the well. High offset (measured by positive) pushes the wheel spokes out towards the edge of the wheel creating no dish. A positive offset will pull your wheel into the well.
Backspace is the space between the inside edge of the wheel to the mounting surface. Less backspace pushes the wheel out of the wheel well. More backspace pulls your wheel into the well. In the 4Runner world, we usually look for a backspace of 5″ or less.
I bought a 17″ wheel with a negative offset (-6), but you can go as far as you want -10, -12. With -offset, this pushes the wheel out of the wheel well more, similar to wheel spacers.
Negative offset combined with less backspace provides a better look (in my opinion – a common goal is to push the wheel out). The lower the offset and the smaller the backspace, the further your wheels will stick out of your wheel well. Have you ever seen an F250 with wheels that stick out a foot past the body? Yeah, that is a lot of -offset and likely a small backspace.
Good visual article for understanding offset and backspace
TRD Wheels – Features and Benefits?
TRD SEMA and Beadlock wheels are designed for perfect braking, maximum stability on corners, excellent heat dissipation, all with being lightweight which allows for better performance. When you choose TRD Pro wheels, you are getting a master design and a commitment to quality that goes far beyond appearance.
Shot Cred: @Dumbo_T4R
TRD looks at all the design criteria for each vehicle that they design wheels for, and then they use state-of-the-art CAD design in order to design and manufacture the optimal wheel for that car/truck. In designing TRD wheels, they take into account the weight, offset, backspace, and even brakes to make sure that the wheel fits, performs reliably, and has the perfect finish. You really can’t go wrong with TRD wheels, these wheels fit, function and perform absolutely perfect for your body on frame SUV.
Weight Factors
Weight is always a big factor when looking into wheels. The TRD 17″ SEMA only weighs 25lbs, that’s pretty light. Even lighter is the 16″ Beadlock TRD wheels weighing in at 23.5lbs.
There are other aftermarket wheels that come in at 35+ pounds and some as high as 40 pounds. You want to stay away from anything over 30 pounds in my opinion. Weight is always a factor you should consider when it comes to wheels.
Tires and Wheels Together (Big Decision)
You want to consider which tire you are going to run alongside your chosen wheel. With the TRD 17″ SEMA wheel and the 16″ Beadlock style TRD wheels, you have different options for tires. Let’s take the TRD 17″ SEMA wheel for example and see what tire options we have. The larger in diameter the wheel gets, the more adjustments and lift you will need to make.
A common tire size for many aftermarket 17″ wheels is a large 32″ tire (285/70/17 – 32.71″). See the list below on whether or not this wheel will rub.
TRD 17″ SEMA Wheel/Tire Options
- 265/70/17 (Stock) (7-9″ Space Needed) – Won’t Rub
- 255/75/17 (6.5-8.5″ Space Needed) – Won’t Rub
- 270/70/17 (7-8.5″ Space Needed) – Won’t Rub
- 285/70/17 (7.5-9″ Space Needed) – Questionable (Body Mount Chop May be Needed)
- 305/65/17 (8.5-11″ Space Needed) – Will Rub – Adjustments/Mods Needed
- 255/80/17 (6.5-8.5″ Space Needed) – Will Rub – Adjustments/Mods Needed
- 305/70/17 (8-9.5″ Space Needed) – Will Rub – Adjustments/Mods Needed
- 285/75/17 (7.5-9.5″ Space Needed) – Will Rub – Adjustments/Mods Needed

Best Aftermarket Wheel Options
Take a look at the graphic of our favorite options for 5th Gen 4Runner wheels.
This is only my choice for what I would choose, and not the “best” options out there. Do your research and find what wheel fits your style best.
We had a set of ATX wheels on my Trail Edition. We replaced the ATX wheels due to an oxidation issue, so keep that in mind if you are looking into ATX wheels.
My Top pick for Aftermarket 4Runner Wheels
- Check out this updated list for 2019
- Stealth Custom Series Wheels
- Method Racing Wheels
- Relations Race Wheels (pretty impressive lineup)
- Fuel Wheels (Subtle, Flashy, Tribal Tattoos, they have it all)
- FN Wheels
- Icon Alloys
Deciding on the right set of wheels is important
The wheels you have on your 4Runner can make or break the appearance.
This is the hub (no pun intended) of your vehicles character. If you go to “BRO”, you might have some serious regrets. When we say BRO, we mean straight chrome and a 7″ deep dish wheel. At the same time, if you get the most basic wheels out there, that everyone has, what will be different about your 4Runner?
Wheel Options for 5th Gen 4Runner (6×139.7mm(5.5″) or 6×5.5 Bolt Pattern)
It is important to note our bolt pattern; 6×139.7mm (5.5″) or 6×5.5. You can’t just throw whatever wheel you think looks good on your 4Runner and call it a day. Different wheels are designed to fit different off-road vehicles per multiple specs.
When looking for a 5th Generation 4Runner wheel, you aren’t just looking at the actual wheel. You are looking at a handful of criteria. You need to start off by finding a wheel with our bolt pattern (that’s where I start).
Again, when shopping for wheels start here
- Bolt Pattern (5th Gen = 6×139.7mm(5.5″) or 6×5.5)
- Wheel Bore (5th Gen = 106mm – the size of the center hole on your wheel)
- Offset (-offset pushes the wheel out. +offset pushes wheel into the wheel well)
- Backspace (Similar to offset – the space between the center tire and inside wheel)
- Rating (Weight rating wheels were designed for)
- Weight (lb)
- Lug Type (tapered “conical” and radiused)
- LipSize (in)
Where to start?
- Bolt Pattern?
- Hub Centric or Lug Centric?
- What offset options does the wheel have?
- What backspace options does the wheel have?
- How much does it weigh?
I would start with bolt pattern, then move to wheel bore (are they hub centric or lug centric?) and then move to offset, and then backspace. For the 5th Gen 4Runner, there are a few aftermarket manufacturers of lug centric wheels (Stealth Custom Series, FN Wheels, TRD wheels, and other manufacturers). With that being said, it doesn’t much matter if you buy a set of wheels that are lug centric because that is how the lugs nuts center the wheel.
There are many different ways to make wheels. There are pros and cons to each type of wheel. Whether you are looking at steel wheels or alloy wheels, you want to note the difference and do your research.
Steel Wheels
Steel wheels are the wheels that come on most cars, however, the stock wheels on the 5th gen are aluminum. Steel is inexpensive to produce and they are very sturdy, which makes them the obvious choice for stock accessories on most cars. They aren’t really optimized for performance, but they perform well enough that most car owners wouldn’t really care.
Many people run steelies (steel wheels) and have no problems at all. They actually prefer steelies to allow wheels because it gives them more weight on sleet, snow, and ice. Which may very well be true, but I would personally have a lighter TRD wheel or many of the aftermarket brands mentioned above in the graphic.
Aluminum Alloy Wheels
Pictured above is a set of 20″ Fuel Vapor wheels on my girls 2016 5th Gen SR5 4Runner. You can read more about this wheel and tire set up here: Fuel Vapor Wheels & KO2 Tires. She wanted 20″ wheels so she got 20″ wheels. I recommended 17″ wheels, but she didn’t listen.
Aluminum alloy wheels are lightweight, they dissipate heat better, and they perform better during high-load cornering maneuvers. When you’re looking at performance, aluminum alloy wheels are often a better choice than steel wheels.
You can also get three kinds of alloy wheels: forged, cast, and billet.
Forged and cast wheels are both aluminum. The actual method for producing/ manufacturing these wheels is a little different.
Forged aluminum alloy wheels are stronger and in most cases offer a lower weight than cast alloy wheels. At the end of the day, there is not a huge difference between the two but some will argue the point.
Both forged and cast manufactured wheels are very similar and get the same job done.
i’m driving a 2019 trd off-road and am wondering if the 2020-21 trd bronze wheels will fit. website says 20-21 only but i can’t tell a difference in the wheel from the 2019. anyone ran into this and it solved it?
Part Number: PTR2035110F5
can i put trd wheels on my 99 sr5 4runner i currently have a 265/70r/16 with stock 16×7 6 on 5.5 the current rim has a 15mm offset
Does anyone know what tires & size in the cement TRD featured above?
I have a 2010 sr5. I have 17×9 +1 fuel wheels with stock size tires on it. Wanting to upgrade down the road to larger ones. I know I can do 275s but not sure about 285s. I know on oem wheels you can’t do 285s just not sure about these wheels
question?
does the picture with the white/grey 4Runner w/TRD wheels have lift?
what size tires, very good look
Would 265/70/17 tires on a SCS BR6 17×8.5 -10 offset work on a SR5 without rubbing? If not, would a 1 or 2 inch leveling kit make it work?
Does that beadlock ring on your Fuel’s come off? I’m looking at the black ones with grey ring but want to change the ring to black as well.
I don’t know dude. I have never tried to take it off. Standby. lol
Were you able to check? I’ve got it narrowed down to these, KMC Mesa, or SCS BR6.
Hey guys I currently have a 2021 sr5 4 runner and looking to get a wheel and tire combo , I wan to run a 17×9 wheel with a Offset of -6 and a backspace of 4.75 , the tire size I want to run with it would be a 270/70r/17 , I currently have no lift on the vehicle but would like to run these wheel and tire measurements without one in the mean time. If anyone is running a tire and wheel build similar with no lift that would be great and let me know if there will be no rubbing issues

Hello All,
2019 4runner ORP And I am looking at replacing the wheels and tires.
I did a 3 inch fox 2.5 coil over with remote resi lift in the front with icon UCA’s
2” lift in the rear with lcon springs and fox 2.0 shocks with remote resi..
I like the RRW RR5-S with 285/70/17 KO2 or Duratrac tires.
Trying to avoid rubbing and trimming as little as possible.
what offset and how much backspace would you suggest?
I tried contacting RRW over a week ago by email for recommendations and I have not heard back.
I have a 3inch lift on my 2016 TP and 285 Duratracs on the stock 16″ rims and they rub against the stock UCA at full lock. If you’re looking for new wheels go with something that’ll push the wheels out at least 1/4 -1/2 inch if you’re going 285 Duratracs – I think it’s the lugs on the sidewall that rub but I’m not 100% sure.
Thanks Eric,
I am currently running on the stock 17” x 7.5 wheels with 265/70/17 stock bridgstones that are more Street tire than off-road tire. I have not experienced any rubbing but I know going up in tire size and going to an 8.5 inch wide wheel it may pose a whole new set of problems. I want to figure out a good backspace and offset so that I don’t get rubbing and the tires don’t stick out too far from the fenders. The reason I like the Duratracs is weight as they seem to weigh less than a lot of the other tires out there and they’re good on and off road.
A few months ago I bought a new-to-me 2016 Limited with Nitto’s 285/55/20, looking to switch from 20s to 17s. It has a 3” TRD suspension lift with bilstein shocks.
Do you think 285/70r17 will fit with the 3” lift and without rubbing/having to do any cutting/mods? Is having a lift what you mean when you say “space needed – won’t rub?” I like the 275/285 look better on the 4Runner than the 265, and I’d like to stick with Nitto and get those again, but they only have 265 or 285, not 275.
What kind of offset should I get in the 17s?
It’s my daily driver but also do some off-roading and exploring. No matter the research I do, I can’t seem to feel confident in the specs of new wheels/tires to buy.
Howdy, what do you mean by “Space Needed – Won’t Rub”.
by space needed, are you implying the truck needs to be lifted in order for the wheels to fit?
I need some offset/backspace help because I have come to the conclusion I am as dumb as a bag of rocks!
I have been reading about offset and backspace for weeks on multiple sites, looked at diagrams etc. but each time I try to source the wheel spec I think I need, I get different advice from wheel suppliers etc.!
I want to change the stock 17×7.5 wheels on my 2016 SR5 Premium to get rid of the 1.25″ SpiderTrax spacers that are causing wheel shake. I have a Bilstein 2″ lift kit and like the stance of the stock wheels with the spacers and have 275/70/17 Grabber ATX’s fitted. That setup pushes my wheel out just enough so the top edge/corner of the tire is about flush with the fender edge. I fitted wider Rokblokz mud flaps to protect the bodywork.
I realize I might need to go to 8 or 8.5″ wide rims, so that confuses me even more.
Can anyone advise what backspace and offset I will need to achieve that? I believe the current 7.5″ wide stock wheels have 4.5 backspace and +15 offset.
SpiderTrax spacers are not causing wheel shake. Your vehicle sounds like it needs a balance or tires balanced.
I didn’t think they would/could either, but after 4 full alignments, 7 balancing sessions and 2 sets of new tires over 18 months at 4 different establishments, all advice and research points to the spacers. Add 2 complete suspension and frame inspections, one at Toyota and one at a good Merlins the family have been using for 20 years. I also had the spacer mounting double checked and torqued but the spacer mountings seemed perfect. looking back, I should have sprung to the new wheels and not taken the spacer direction.
Did you drop your front axle? The angle of your CV axles might be causing that vibration.
I’m under the impression that 16″ wheels are not a option, but the breakdown above notes the TRD Beadlock Wheels are 16″. Is this correct? Also the Method Race Wheels website give me the option for 16×8 703 wheels for my 2019 4runner.
Thanks for any help on this!
The product specs from the press room for my 2016 states that the stock wheels are 7 inches wide, not 7.5 inches wide. Out of curiosity, how did you come about this information?
https://pressroom.toyota.com/2016-toyota-4runner-product-specs/
Getting ready to do a Bilstein 6112/5160 lift (a little less than 3″) on my 2019 limited nightshade. I plan to swap out the 18-in alloy wheels for some 17-in wheels and bigger tires.
Looking to do light to medium technical off-roading (Forest service roads and fire trails) but no serious Boulder crawling also looking for excellent performance on snow covered roads in lake Tahoe.
I like method racing wheels but I’m also considering just going with TRD SEMA’S. WHAT WOULD YOU ALL PUT ON THERE AND WHAT KIND OF TIRES? TOYO AT III’s?
Hi all!
I have an old set of Alcoa aluminum rims that came off my old 90 Toyota 4×4 truck. Size is 15x12x6.5. I was wondering if they can fit on a 2018 5th gen Toyota 4Runner that’s running on stock size wheels (17’s).
If I put the 15×12’s on, is there going to be enough clearance for the brake calipers?
Thanks.
5th Gen 4Runners cannot have any smaller than a 17″ wheel installed. The calipers and rotors are in the way of going any smaller. You won’t be able to use 15s or 16s on your 4Runner.
I’m buying 2020 4Runner TRD Off Road Premium & need really good deep snow tires as I’ll be at 12,000 ft. in the CO Rockies. I’m planning on getting the Nokian Hakkapeliitta R3 SUV snow tire & am either getting winter wheels or changing tires for the season. Any suggestions/ recommendations? Steel vs alloy, brand, just change tires? I’m a newbie at this.
I’ve lived in the mountains of colorado for the last decade. Just get some blizzaks and change them out seasonally, that’s what we all do up here. The nokians are great tires, but they are very soft rubber that wears out quicker. You’ll be surprised in fall/spring how quickly the driving conditions change from blizzard to warm weather. The blizzaks are a little more robust for these conditions.
Get TRD SEMA wheels about $200 each from your Toyota dealer. Or instead, get a 4Runner Venture edition comes with those wheels.
I have a 2019 Limited and am looking to install Mayhem Voyager in 17×8.5, et0, BS4.8 / BFG KO2 275/70/17 with factory suspension (no lift).
I will likely have to do the fender liner mod and maybe remove mudflaps.
Will I have to do body mount chop?
I’ve heard that it varies from 4runner to 4runner, most shops recommend to get it over and done with. This will help in the future when we are all trying to stuff 35’s on our rigs!
Newbie here! Wanting to switch my stock wheels on my 2020 limited from the 245/60R20 to 285/70R17 K02’s! I really want the Fuel Boost wheels but have no clue what offset I need! There is the option of 1mm, -12mm, or 20mm??? Please help! Also putting a 3in lift.
I would get the -12mm offset for the more aggressive stance. The negative offset pushes your wheels out a little more and will look nice 👍🏽
even with the 3inch lift you will still have to do a body mount chop if you go with an aggressive offset.
Will a 20×9 wheel with an offset of -12 rub on my 2019 SR5?
Can I fit for 2020 4Runner TRD PRO rims from 2020 4Runner Limited 20” ( Night edition)???
yes
Have a 2010 trail. Want to replace the original wheels with some 2019 4Runner wheels 75154.
Original wheels are 17×7, 4.5” backspace, with +15 offset. New wheels are 17×7.5, 4.5” backspace, with +12 offset. Looking at the numbers I don’t see an issue, but all websites only show these as a match for 2014 and newer 4runners. Will these work on my 2010 trail? I don’t want to modify or cut on the body.
Very close to the same specs. +15 vs. + 12 is not much of a difference. 17×7 vs 17×7.5 is what I would look at. Just make sure your tires will work with that wider tire size or within their approved rim width range. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tiretech/techpage.jsp?techid=198
Will a 16×8 -25 offset with 1.25” spacer for a 5th gen 4Runner?
No, 16s will not clear the brake calipers
I have a 2016 4 runner and I am looking for centre cap options that will fit, I have factory rims. I am interested in black centre caps.
What do you mean by 7-9″ space needed?
Trigger Warning!
I am an absolute newbie at all this off road stuff.
I have gone through a couple of your articles and they are chalk full of great information. Most of which I don’t fully understand. Thank you for your time and effort in providing all the great info!
I have a 1 year old (since I bought it) 2017 Limited; everything stock that I am aware of. I finally decided to buy some AT tires. And didn’t do any research; my bad. I went to Discount Tire and told them I wanted the BFG KO2s. The smallest size they make for a 20″ rim is 265-60-20. So they sold them to me installed them and the rubbed the front fender liners on both sides when cranking the steering to the left and right. And I’m not ready to trim the liners at this point. So I went back and discussed with them. They told me there is only ONE AT tire in all the tire world that will fit with my 20″ rims without potentially rubbing; that being a Toyo Open Country AT II in a 245-60-20. So I had them install them. Still not happy with them. No real side wall protection to speak of.
Then I went throuth the above article and noticed the part with the picture of your girls 4runner with the 20″ rims and some nice looking tires. How in the world were you able to do it without trimming or chopping? Or maybe you did…
Well, since the KO2s won’t work without some trimming or lifting, I did some looking around for other AT tires with some beefier sidewall protection and found the Goodyear Duratrac. They don’t make my stock size of 245-60-20, but they have a 255-60-20 and a 255-55-20. QUESTION: Do you think either of these would fit without rubbing the fender liner? When I crank the Toyo’s to the full left and right I have about 1″ +/- clearance from the front fender liner.
Sorry for being so long winded and thank you in advance for your reply! I am just SHOCKED the there is only one AT tire in all of tire world that will fit my stock 4runner limited!
Jeff
My bad…didn’t notice the link to the wheels & tires. And she did a 3″ lift, if that’s what you call it. Now I know how you got the ko2s.
Thank you for all the helpful advice and hard work you put into helping everyone. Ive asked this question on another site but got hammered by the keyboard commandos. I’m looking into getting these wheels and running 285/70/17 in BFGoodrich KM3’s, will I have to do a BMC? I’m okay with a little trimming but no chopping.
VTX Rogue Satin Bronze
17X8.5 -10 6X139.7 (6X5.5) 106.1
You are cutting it close. With the KM3’s having an aggressive tread pattern (larger tread blocks, lugs, shoulder, and sidewall) and the -10 offset, you are putting yourself closer and closer to the body mounts. I have run the 285/70/17 Treadwright MTs on a 2″ front lift and didn’t need to chop the body mounts but that was with a 0 offset wheel. It really depends on your lift (higher does not always mean better) but you would be right there. Obviously up to you but you are cutting it close.
I have a 2013 SR5 and the Toyota parts site says the TRD wheels won’t fit. Based on the information above the difference seems very minimal. Well they work with stock size tires without issues?
I have a 2020 4Runner, SR5 with stock wheels. I put on RRW 17″ and Falken Wild Peak Tires (265/70/17)… So basically NO change in tires or wheels. I get rub when I lock my wheel to either side. (I am new to this stuff) Is there a way to remedy this? I got a little lost in the narrative up above, but I feel perhaps I need some spacing to offset the rub, but I have no way of knowing as I am still learning.
The wheels and tires sound well within tolerances.
You didn’t mention the backspace /offset of the wheels, or what it is rubbing, or how much.
my concern would be that you have too little backspace(wrong wheels?) , and this would also cause excess wheel bearing wear.
If the rubbing is minor and on the liners then some cutting should fix it.
okay, I did some more research : This (from this article) is what my specs should be for my stock 2020 SR5
Bolt Pattern: 6×5.5
Wheel Size: 17×7.5″
Wheel offset: +15
Wheel backspace: 4.5″
These are the RRW wheels I got:
Size: 17×8.5
Offset: -12
Bolt Pattern: 6×5.5 / 6×139.7
Load Rating: 2500 lbs
Center Bore: 106.1 mm (hub-centric for Toyota)
Backspacing: 4.28″
So, maybe the offset it off a few inches..?
yes, your offset is now an inch, and probably rubbing the outer liner..
your options are:
1. cut/adjust the liner/body, (can you see the wear/rub point?)
2. >=2″ lift/level the f/e ($100 to thousands + labor – see eibach kit)
3. reduce the offset (change wheels.
THANK YOU! Finally, someone answered my question. MUCH appreciated.
HI Clive, thanks for the response. I don’t know much about offset, but from my understanding, my wheels are not offset any, or shouldn’t be. I just wanted black rims with a more rugged tire. The rubbing does appear to be just the plastic mud flap and not the actual car body. The rub is minor, but sounds awful as the plastic shudders and most likely sounds worse than it is. But it just seems that it shouldn’t be rubbing if the wheels and tires are the same size as stock. That’s why I started to read this article about offset as I thought maybe something else is going on. But offset still confuses me, I need to see it visually. Thanks again for your response.
I had a question about tire options. Where you wrote “space needed” are you referring at one will need to add a spacer to the wheel?
Best damn wheel tutorial on the internet.
What wheels are in the 2nd and 3rd picture?
Those are the relation race wheels RR5-S.
I’ve ready several different posts (here and otherwise) about wheels, tires, and sizing options, but haven’t come across this specific answer. Is anyone running a -12mm offset 17×8.5 wheel without lift? I’m wanting to buy some wheels and want to be sure I won’t rub with 265/70r/17 tires on a -12mm offset. Thanks!
Also looking at doing something similar. Any update?
Haven’t made the jump yet- and I’m a ways off from lifting so I’ll probably stick with a +0 offset just to avoid any issues right now.
The tires probably wont rub (I have 275 70 17 and they don’t) but, as you are going almost 1″ further out from the vehicle, without lift your front tires will probably impact the body wheel arch when you compress the suspension due a bump in the road, especially when turning at the same time. The stock +15mm means the wheel is ‘inside’ the body arch
Simply put —— thank you!
Hey folks
Does anyone know where I can get (17*8) steel wheels for the 2015 4runner? I need -15 offset (3.5″ backspace) or something close. To provide approx 1″ / side look /clearance
Thanks
Good morning.
This question may already be answered but as I am new to the discussion I will ask again.
I just purchased a new 2019 TRD Pro 4Runner ( traded my 2018 TRD Off-Road ) and was wondering what is the largest tire I can mount on the stock 17″ Sema Wheel without any modifications ( all terrain tire )
Thanks, Andy
Probably a 275/70R17 – 32.16″ will be the biggest you can go without tire rubbing. If you want to be on the extreme safe side, look at the factory tire size 265/70/17 – 31.61″.
I have 275/70/17 bfg at2s and there was slight rub on lh well liner when braking on a downslope.
Thanks
Is there anyway I can fit replica Chevy snowflakes 22 inch wheels on my 5th generation 4runner 2019 trd expedition? If so what would have to be done? Would I void my warranty?
Great site, hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction. Just ordered a 2020 4Runner Nightshade Edition. Comes with 245/60/20 tires on 7″ rims. We want to get the smoothest/quietest ride possible for interstate driving, (no off-roading with this one). Thinking about getting 275/55/20 and 9″ rims, (would like a wider more stable footprint on the road). However, not sure this is the best combination for what we want to achieve, but if it is, not sure how to make sure we buy the right spec’d rims, offset/backspace/etc, to insure proper clearance and operation. And after all that, have to find a smooth/quiet interstate tire that gets 50k tread wear or better. Asking a lot I know, especially since we’re using the 4Runner outside of its intended purpose. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Hey James I have the 2020 nightshade I also hate the factory tires too skinny my research shows that I can stick with the factory 20” x 7 1/2” rims and do 275/55 r20s I think it adds an inch in height and almost 2 inches in width of the tire look I haven’t decided if I want to do a 9 inch aftermarket rim to get a little more with look but I want a street tire not an all-terrain so I am looking at the NITTO 420 This tire also comes in a 275/60 R 20. I think with the factory rim a tire should fit within the fender well and not stick out past to throw debris and rocks I’m also doing a 2 inch lift on the front to level out to look on the 4Runner. I know it’s a four-wheel-drive meant for off-road but I’m trying to get the street look on my nightshade just trying to find the tallest fat is tired of fit and look right
Have a couple of questions and hopefully someone can help me out. I have a 2018 TRD Off Road that I will be doing some mods to(wife wouldn’t let me do any mods until it was paid off). I will be scheduling a 3.5 inch Icon Stage 2 lift in the late fall. Here is my delemma, I really like the Fuel Podium Wheels D618. It’s a 9inch wheel with a -12 offset and a 4.5 backspace. I will be covering with BFG’s KO2s 285/70R17s. Question being, will the tires rub? BFG website states 9 inch wide wheel is max for KO2s in a 285. Has anyone had a similar mods/upgrades done and if so, I’d like to know the out come. Thx.
Your site is great. Thanks for all of this information. I’m looking to begin upgrading my 2018 SR5 4WD. A lift and wheels/tires are first. Can you tell me what kind of wheels those are on the charcoal 4Runner in your two photos on this post? I like those – understated and solid.
Thanks!
I believe they are Mayhem Wheels style names Scout or possibly RRws
What wheel size will fit a 2018 Toyota 4runner TRD-OR without rubbing???
So many sizes!! For us common off-road folk, you should check out this recent post on RRW wheels. These are a great option man.

With this wheel size/offset, little to no cutting is required with 3″ of lift.
2018 ORP. I opted for the Method MR305 wheels in bronze with black after-market lug nuts. The wheels are 17X8.5 6X5.5 with a 0mm offset/4.5 backspace. Although the hub bore is 106.5, they are considered lug-centric wheels as far as I know. The factory lug nuts had a flat seat and a narrow diameter shaft that engaged quite a bit of the stud. The new lug nuts are a simple tapered seat and do not engage anywhere near as much thread. This concerns me. Am I being paranoid?
Darrell, rule of thumb is to to have as much engagement as the diameter of the stud. In this case, you need 12mm of engagement. You should run an E.T. Acorn lug nut (E.T. – Extended Thread). This will give you the added thread engagement you need to be safe. I run RHI Automotive black chrome lugs on mine (2 year warranty on lugs too!)
This is very helpful. But what about the tpms? Can we keep the oem and transfer them to the new wheels, or do we need a new set for the new wheels? And what about programming them? I will be changing wheels soon and wanna cover all the bases before going to the shop.
Ryan, as long as your wheel is TPMS compatible, you should have no issues transferring your factory sensors to your new wheels. However, considering the labor you’ll possibly pay at a tire shop to break own factory wheels, remove sensors, replace into new wheels and likely charge you labor and parts for a rebuild kit will be cost-prohibitive. You’d likely be better to get a quality aftermarket sensor and install to the wheels. I personally run MAX Sensor TPMS sensors, which are a perfect replacement for factory and program exactly the same as an OEM sensor.
Just wanted to say thank you for compiling this info. Super helpful! I’m having a heck of a time finding wheel options. I’m going white so it’s not easy lol.
