200 Series and Tundra wheels on 100 series photo thread (5 Viewers)

[Funner]

I went as small as I could to retain factory wheels fitting 295/70R18 while being able to turn fully without rub. It was pretty rudimentary, but I stacked washers on the lugs until I could turn all the way with the wheels on and then added small 0.25" factory of safety, it was 0.5" so I went up to 0.75" spacers mentioned. I'm like 95% sure it clears completely, but it might have rubbed a couple times this past summer where it was at its limit offroad.

Either way, just wondering if 0.75" spacers (since I currently have them on) leaves enough space for the 100 dust cap to clear the Tundra center caps.

If you already have them, not much to lose. Get the wheels and check for yourself. It isn’t going to be undriveable either way.

When considering the same question, 1.25 was the safest with many types of 200 series or tundra wheels. I did 1.25 front and back for the heritage wheels on my 100. Imo you want a spacer that can bolt in and not just sit between the wheel and hub, for strength and security. Many don’t like the idea of spacers at all in an off-road scenario.

I should also add, I have BORA spacers which bolt on, and require cutting down factory studs a small amount.

Going into the wayback machine, you have issues fitting these other than front caps not fitting? I think some on here said they wouldn't clear the hubs without a spacer.

Did a minor upgrade to my 200 series LC wheels on my LX.

Asked another guy the same thing but your post was actually more recent, did these wheels require spacers to clear the hubs? I've seen on here some 200 wheels don't quite fit right.

They clear the hubs OK but no front caps until the spacers went on. 1.25"

Gotcha, I have .75" so they may or may not fine mine. Only one way to find out haha. Appreciate the response.

No spacers

 

[baltistyle]

Most who use no spacers or under 1.25 must hammer in the dust cap. Smaller spacers are only ok in the back. This has been talked about at least a few hundred times on here.

If you are answering this thread.

Wheel type and size and width
Did you increase bore size
Did you hammer dust caps
What spacers on front
What spacers on rear

If you haven’t actually done this, go home, you’re of no help and leading people down the wrong path. The answers are already here but some refuse to trust or believe and want to repeat the mistakes of others and waste their money. At least don’t waste our time with speculation.

Noted

I have .75" so they may or may not

Are they hub-centric spacers? Really shouldn't use them if not, chances of breaking studs and loosing a wheel is very high

Yes, they're BORA spacers.

I run them without the front center caps.

I've not done it myself, but if I were to modify something to get the center caps to fit, I'd carefully modify the grease cap. Some mild flattening of the grease cap and you're there!

I'm sure you know already... make sure to use the correct lug nuts when running the Tundra wheels.

I recently picked up the same set of 18" Tundra wheels - but what are the "correct" lug nuts?

Would these fit? PT076-0C200-02 lug nuts

I think you can just use OEM ones?

You cannot use the OEM lug nuts. It's been so long, I don't remember, but there's a difference.

For those specific Tundra wheels or Tundra wheels in general? From what I can see, it's the same lug nut. But maybe they're different for that specific wheel.

 

[hoser]

100 and Tundra Alloy wheels use the same lug nuts.

 

[SmoothLC]

^ that's my understanding as well.

 

[LeXysexy]

Probably a silly question, but for those of you who hammered the dust cap flat to get the wheel caps to fit without spaces, I’m assuming you remove the dust cap and do the hammering on a bench? As opposed to hammering with it on the axle still. Sorry if this is moronic.

Curious what you ended up doing to fit the front caps?

Wow. Just went through some many old pages looking for the answer to my question that was literally the most recent information here.

Following up on this very helpful post.

The 200 Series wheel center caps fit fine with 0.75" spacers. So, for however many hundreds of times it was discussed on here, I don't think that was, which is what I was asking, lol .
