Just like the title says. I know people put tundra rims on land cruisers, wondered if the reverse works. Looking for the 17s for a set of muds since I've seen them alot more often for sale than the rock warrior wheels.
5 lug 17" land cruiser wheels on new tundra?

No reason why it wouldn't work. If bolt pattern is the same and the offset is close then should be fine.
I know that my Tundra wheels were slightly shallower offset than the original LC wheels, so going from LC to tundra you may end up with them sticking out a bit farther. Check offset on your wheels and the ones you are looking at, other than that you should be good.
I have tundra/sequoia wheels on my LC and Tacoma/4Runner wheels on my pickup. The backspacing and offsets are slightly different, but if the bolt pattern matches they should be fine. The only place it gets a little iffy is going from IFS wheels onto a solid axle. The older SA pickups had very shallow backspacing due to the wheel to spring/ frame clearances, so putting a later IFS wheel on a SA can be an issue, but IFS to IFS should be fine.

Are you talking 5 or 6 lug? Im looking at 100 or 200 series wheels on new 2nd gen tundra.
Well, I recognize that you ask about the 5 lug specifically and my answer was pretty vanilla, but if you are taking the wheels off of a 5 lug LC and you are bolting them onto a 5 lug Tundra, then it should be pretty straight forward.
I don't have any experience with the newer 5 lug rims, but I would guess that since Toyota shares drive-train parts across many of their models, that the 5-lugs on newer Tundras, Tacomas, Sequoias, Cruisers, etc will all be the same bolt pattern. Someone will have to correct me if I am wrong on that one.
So the interchangeability of wheels between those models will mainly be governed by what the backspacing and offsets are on each and how that will affect the rig you are putting them on.
In my specific instances, the wheels are all 6 lug and they all swap around pretty easily from model to model. Even the hub-centric wheels went right onto my early model pickup with the correct lug nuts.
Hope that helps

Well. I know that there are few 17s for the tundras. The rock warrior ones, then some expensive aftermarket ones due to the brake clearance. I just havent seen anyone put the lc 17s on a tundra and didnt know if it was due to this clearance issue or just no ones tried it yet.
The new Tundra 5 bolt rims have a larger pattern than the old 6 bolts (6 on 139mm). IIRC, the Tundra 5 lug are 5 on 150mm?
Probably no ones tried the LC rims on a Tundra...I get the impression not too many people mod their Tundras...LC owners seem to be more in that mode..

I do know that the 100 and 200 series Land Cruisers/LX's have that same 5 lug pattern. I'm asking for my brother who has a Rock Warrior that he had 34" Toyo MT's on it with OME lift and ARB bumper. He swapped some more street friendly tires back onto it and wants a second set of rims for the muds for hunting season. The 17" Rock Warrior wheels are hard to find and expensive if you can find them, which is why I'm asking about LC wheels of the 100 and 200 series since I've seen more of these available and more reasonable pricing.
I do know that people have had to go 18" plus on the Tundras if they aren't using the Rock Warrior wheels due to brake clearance on aftermarket wheels. And thats why I was asking if anyone has tried the LC/LX wheels on a Tundra for the brake clearance. So I do know the basics on fitment (lug pattern, etc), but not the specifics if the Land Cruiser/LX wheels have the clearance required for the Tundra brakes.

Ah, makes sense now. I do know that the tundra brakes are a beast. I know on the older 6 lug wheels the tundras brakes caused some issues. On those I think it was a problem with the caliper making contact with the back of the wheel. I don't know anything about the 5 lug wheel and since I know you are looking for a more specific answer then I can give, I am gonna have to tap out. I might suggest you bump over to the 100 or 200 section and pose the question. They might be able to give you more insight.
