Advice on Tundra 18" Steelies (1 Viewer)

The part number you listed is actually the ones I want. It seems absurd to me the difficulty of getting some of these parts.

Need to get a shipping container filled with various lc/lx parts ship over the states

Are these tubed tire rims? looking at the large oval hole in barrel

They’re split rims off a 2007 70 series.

Wanted to do an update on this thread and thank everyone who shared their advice and photos.

Finally found a set of 5 at a reasonable price on a site allusedrims.com. They were $105 each (plus shipping), and the guy I talked to from the wheel site said they check them for trueness and refinish with powder coat. They looked brand new out of the box, was pleasantly surprised with their condition. I've been after a set for a while, but the stuff on ebay looked pretty beat up and could never get a complete set. They are pretty expensive from the dealer (lowest I've found was around $190). So this was a good deal overall, I would recommend buying from them.

For tires decided to step down from 305/65/18 to 275/70/18. Even though the steelies are 6lbs heavier than the 29lbs Tundra alloys I had before, going down to a skinnier tire probably compensated for the added weight. Acceleration feels a tad better, and the truck feels easier to turn and stop. And no more rubbing at full lock.

Overall, happy with how they turned out - thanks all for the advice.

Can you take a pic of the type of lug nuts on these ? I bought a set online but they came without lug nuts or valve stems. Trying to figure out which ones will work. The lug nuts from my old tundra wheels don’t seem like they’re the right style.

Or if anyone has a PN for these items I’m looking my for that would be much appreciated!

Believe you need the conical "acorn" style, the ones you have are shank style. Costo's a great place for cheap lug nuts.
