Where can you get the widened wheels?
Stockton Wheel in California is the most-used place. You buy new OEM Steelies from Toyota (around $100 each), pay to ship them to Stockton Wheel, they cut the centers out and weld them into new (wider) barrels (I think for about $130 each) and you pay to have them shipped back. Stockton can make them 8/10/12 inches wide and can even make them work as 16" wheels.
There are a few other custom wheel shops around that will do it. I'd think there would be a shop in Detroit that caters to the hot rod guys that might have the capability.
There are a few good threads on wheel widening on IH8MUD.
I bought mine, years ago, from Specter Off-Road (SOR). Unfortunately, Specter only had them widened to 7" instead of a much-more-usable 8".
I'd love to see City Racer make some 16x8 or 17x8 available.

This is the look I would like o achieve. So these are 15" wheels stretched to 7" with what size tire?
Yes. 15x7 with 35x12.50 BFG KM2s. Should be on an 8” wide wheel for perfection

What brand and size lift do you have please?
It has a supposed 4” SUA lift. (Rough Country springs, if I remember and Rancho 9000 shocks). The rear wheel wells are cut (I wish they weren't, or that the factory radius had been followed). This is how it was built in 2000 and the original 35” BFG KM1s were on 10” wide wheels, which is why I believe the rear wheel wells were cut to begin with.
Next owner added a home made 1.5” body lift. ( Body lift wasn’t needed to clear the 35s )
Pic of the original build.

Can anyone tell me the mini truck wheel part number that has the clips and will work with the OEM hubcaps?

dont think the pick ups had hub caps...just the 40 series
I think brianrb100 is refering to the chevy mini truck wheels. Not sure sorry, think those are difficult to source. OEM Toyota are still availble from dealerships...
They are. My local dealership quoted $140 each.
I checked a couple of places and
Rim Set Complete Restored OEM 42601-60072 indicates for disc brakes=I have drums. Seems like the disc simply have more clearance. Can I still use that part # for drum brakes?

On Drum brake rims the centers are riveted to the outer rims. Disc brake rims the centers are welded to the outer rim. Disc brake rims will work on drums brakes. Riveted/drum brake rims wont fit on disc brake frt ends. The rivets hit the caliper.
Do you have 33x12.50's on the stock OEM 5.5" wide wheels?
