I am looking for the year, model, and option package that these wheels would have come on. Or if someone has spotted some for sale let me know. thanks!
 
Stock Limited 4runner 5 stars... and with a 3rd gen 4runner that is THE wheel to try to clear 285s or 255s. Aftermarket wheels typically have too much backspacing for bigger tires. I have those wheels stock on my 2000 4runner.

Ex: I used to have 265/75s of a 16x9 with 4.5" BS, now I run 255/85s on that 16x7 with factory backspacing. I can clear a 285 on a factory rim (I've mounted it just to try, when I worked at a tire shop), but a 285 won't really clear on much else. <<<<Granted I do have adjustable struts in the front and OME coils in the back, but bottom line is that the factory wheels clear better.

^ The man is right...Same wheel that is still on my old 3rd Gen 4Runner. I ran 285 MTR's and 285 Terra Grapplers and never had an issue.
 
really appreciate the info fellas. If I find some they will be going on a first gen runner. Assuming they will fit? i just remembered the front will have locking hubs...i gotta switch gears again back to toys lol

The 4runner/tacoma wheels should have the larger center bore to fit over manual hubs. It's the GM wheels you have to watch out for with the smaller center bore. I think the newest Tacoma's went to the small center bore as well, or atleast the center cap looked pretty small on the set I looked at, but that is 05+? trucks I think.

Justin, the wheels should fit fine. I ran those Tacoma SR5 wheels on my last rig and the center bore cleared the hub.
 
X2, factory 4runner wheels will fit on the older model hubs, but aftermarket wheels for the same model 4runner won't. Most of the aftermarket wheels are hub centric, rather than the factory lug centric.

BTW- Stretch is quair.

Yeah that's right, I remember that now. Cool cool...I found a set on TTORA, but like everything on that site, they are expensive. I just hate to lay down that kinda cash for stock wheels and I don't even know if they will look right on a first gen. Anybody got a set they'd be willing to let me bolt one on real quick to see if I like'em? lol
