20 inch Tundra wheels and tires

[NKP Garage]

I got bored of the stock 16" wheels on our 2000 LX470 and decided to give the 20" Tundra wheels a go. Hopefully this thread helps others going with Tundra wheels on their 100series

The Tundra wheels have the same bore diameter, so they are still hubcentric on the 100series. They also use the same shank style lugs. So they fit just as securely and center up just like the factory wheels. The only problem I found is that the Tundra center caps are too shallow and don't fit the front's on the 100series due to the grease cap protruding too far out.

Here's a photo of how they fit on the 100 without modification:

I called up the trusty guys at Motorsport-Tech and asked them to machine up some custom BORA adapters for me. They did a fantastic job on the custom adapters. They are hubcentric and lugcentric to the factory Toyota hubs, and they are hubcentric and lugcentric to the Tundra wheels as well. I asked them machine the adapters to be 1.75" thick. Here are some photos of the adapter set:

Got them bolted up and they fit perfectly:

If I had to do it again I would order the adapters in 1.5" versus the 1.75". But other than that, first impressions are that the 20" wheel/tire combo rides much better on paved roads. On light gravel trails I cannot tell the difference. I do prefer 16" wheels and more rubber as far as looks on a LC, but this will keep me happy for now until its time for the next change. It'll take a while for the 20" wheels to grow on me, at least they're not too blingy.

Wow I guess the thicker spacer fits? Usually you have to get special hub centric spacers that leave room for the hub flange nuts. Like the ones linked below.

Yup, fit perfectly

Yeah looking at your pics, the end of the studs don't protrude to the part where the hub ring "sticks out" in the middle of the spacer. Hmmm.

Any adverse handling characteristics?

I don't drive fast in the LC, but since the track is 3.5" wider I would guess that it would do better in turns. To me it feels just like stock when I drive around. Tried full lock to the right and left as well, no rubbing.

Any updates on performance or handling characteristics? I have opportunity to buy 2019 tundra ‘20 inch wheels for my 04 LX470, but don’t want to do any serious mods. The specs seem to line up but I’m wondering if it’s worth it.
