18" Tundra Rims on LC/LX

[elephantsCBR]

Alright guys, I know I've seen pictures of them when they are the 5 spoke style steel rims on a 200/570. But I can't necessarily find any information about the dish style.
If my searching is correct, I'd need acorn nuts, compared to the stock washer style on the LX.
BUT if I'm correct, it should bolt right up, and with the stock tire size (I think that's what's on them) it shouldn't rub. Haven't adjusted the LX in anyway. Just these have a more aggressive, winter thread if I'm reading correctly.

Trying to get a set of winter tires for a big trip I'm planning from LA to PA,NYC,VT this December.
And looking at something I can easily sell after the trip... I've still got plenty of tread left on my Michelins...

Just got the front runner mounted and the RTT mounted. So getting excited for the trip. Tires are my last major question.

Thanks Guys!

Yeah any stock 5x150 Tundra wheel will fit. Not sure I would go with steroids though given how cheap you can find TRD Sport 18” wheels. I’d get Hakka R3 SUVs for dedicated winter tires.

 

[bjorn240]

Btw, you’re going to sleep in an RTT in December in VT? I’ve spent many nights in my Hilleberg backpacking tent in the winter. You’ll want a minimum of R6 insulation below you and a good bag.

Correct on the acorn nuts. Torque is also different...~ 100 ft.lbs. for the nut-with-washer used on aluminum wheels, and ~ 150 ft. lbs. for steel wheels, e.g. Tundra. Hex sizes may be different, so keep 5 washer-nuts on board if you're not changing the spare...conical nuts on my winter Tundra steelies take a 19mm / 3/4" socket, washer-nuts use a 22mm. I mounted the steelies this afternoon, and tossed a long flex handle with a 19mm socket and 5 lug nuts into the left side tool box.

^^^. What Bjorn said and at least a -20 bag. And I’d probably have a minimum insulation of r6 for the pad and have a “surplus” style wool blanket to put under it. And don’t stay in that RTT if it’s going to snow much, the roof is really flat

 

[kreiten]

yep ya need new lug nuts and then bolt them right up... I slapped some on my 100, good lookin wheel!

 

[Sac Cerevisiae]

What wheels are those? Standard Tundra steelies? Black?

If that was for me, yep just Tundra steelies off the internet, 200 for the set free shipping...

Do you have a part number? Did you paint them or they came standard. I've done a websearch but haven't turned those up. Are they 5x150?

EDIT:
I think I've found them but there's a newer style steel wheel for the Tundra and those appear to be a previous version.

they do come black, but to be honest the paint job is marginal at best. Other than that super happy with the wheels and love the look...

So. If I’m correct. The steel sensors and the aluminum rim ones are different correct?
If the seller has some off a 09 aluminum rim tundra.
I know I’ve read something about that, but they appear to fit in the images he sent so now I’m doubting my memory. But I’m not sure if they snug down more than he has them just placed in there.

I guess their isn’t a way to just turn off the system for this trip so they don’t blink the whole way saying it’s all flat?

Yes, they are different.

It appears that the sensor in your pics is the 40 Degree sensor which is not correct for use on the TRD 17" wheels - what you need is the 20 Degree sensor (Part# 42607-33011 or equivalent).

See pages 3 of 12 and 4 of 12 of this Toyota document to see which sensors you should have and how they should look when installed: https://www.toyotapartsdeal.com/ins...er TRD Alloy Wheel PTR45-34070-34120 IssF.pdf

That doesn't look like a good fit. Quite a gap there. You can always shave off the feet on the sensor. Or get other sensors like @gaijin suggests. I will add that aftermarket sensors are often adjustable angle.

Hey if you wanted to go home via Atlanta, I’d maybe trade you for some stock LC Alloys with brand new Michelins for your ride home.

I’ve got a set of 13” Tundra steelies (grey) you could have for free, but they’re in Indiana

As for the 20 degree vs 40 degree. I doubt you’re going to make that work by shaving the corners. Toyota will charge about $70 (x4) for a TPMS sensor. Then you need to pay .8 hour labor to program it, and probably another 1 hour to break the seal and install the valve stem/sensor.

I have several (brand new) TRD Sport (20”) take offs with (brand new) Bridgestone Dueler for a $1000. Like Bjorn240 said they’re plentiful on the market and cheap. They look damn good too on a 200.

Amazon has both styles of aftermarket lug sets for like $20-$40 (for 20). If you just need 5 for a spare, let me know, I could get you some for free most likely if I have them. Don’t get lugs at the dealer, you’ll pay dearly.

I guess that's the crappy part. I'm totally fine with the stock LX rims for every other day of the year.

Being from Louisiana, cold weather is never a issue for me. and I guess I'm just being paranoid about driving in the snow.. never done it before. and figure they make snow tires for a reason...
So I don't actually need to keep anything after January first. lol. only about 20 days is all I need them. And I know buying a new set, then keeping them isn't the best, because snow tires aren't made for hot southern weather, and that would be cruel to the tires. and not sure how easily I'd actually be able to sell a set of snow tires down here, and not many are willing to pay to ship back up north i'd imagine.

I may be wrong, but these aren't 17" rims. they are the basic steel 18" ones. From what it's saying it needs the 40* ones on the steel ones.

I don't have the steel ones yet. I'm still on the stock LX ones.

I'm assuming it's a set of stock duelers, which would be like a generic normal tire? ie not snow.

Yes, stock Duelers on the 20" TRD Sports.

IMHO, just get yourself a new set of KO2s and don't jack with this whole tire/wheel mess of a situation (buying/selling/TPMS/etc). KO2s are technically a snow-rated tire anyway, and quite frankly a damn good T/A tire period and they are around $200 a piece...
