Here is a quick wheel cap mod I did on my Tundra wheel caps. You can flatten the dust cap just a bit. Some have flattened them completely and removed the plastic on the inside of the cap and had just enough clearance. I used a holesaw and picked up some center cap covers on amazon around 65mm made of alloy and slightly domed. There are TRD models as well.

Center cap

silicone the caps in place

Have you had issues getting these wheels/tires balanced?
Looks really good! You can’t tell it wasn’t oem.
Hey can a brother have some raspberries and a few of those strawberries?!

looking at the hub on that wheel I would say not. Tundra does have the same hub bore size but that wheel does not look like the bore continue through the whole wheel body. The small center cap is a good indicator on wheels that wont work on the 100 series hub.Has anyone installed these wheels on an LX? 18in BBS
I can't find too much info on them. I found some with good tires for a great deal and thinking of picking them up.
I run Tundra 18’s on my LX. I’m interested in going back to stock LX 16’s. Anybody getting rid of any?
I’m certainly going to have mine for sale with new tires (3 weeks old)on them if you need both (check shipping im in MS) As soon as i’ decide on the 20”s this weekend. ??what type of 18” are you selling?

Is it safe to flatten the cap a bit? I’ve found a couple of sets of 20” tundra wheels that I’ can get. Either for $250.
I’ll try to retro fit my Lexus center cap on it vs trying to get spacers or flattening.
My best friend has a 99 LC with 20” tundra wheels and he has 1.25” spacers.
Btw I’ have a 2010 Tundra with 22”s that are nice and I’ll be selling some Steele oem Tundra 18”s with newer Michelin tires less than 3000 miles that I’ll sell shortly
Which wheel do you like for the LX470

That’s crazy! What type of rig do you have?
I think I'm a fan of the first picture, the five spokes with no space between the spokes... You have a bunch of rigs! My truck is missing the caps on the front... I believe someone fabbed a hole through the center cap. I think you need a bigger driveway!
I’m torn on the wheel choice! My neighbor and friend has a 99 LC with the 5 star design on it and they look nice! But I’m digging the platinum edition wheels equally. Gotta decide by tomorrow!!!!!!!!I think I'm a fan of the first picture, the five spokes with no space between the spokes... You have a bunch of rigs! My truck is missing the caps on the front...
