Hello All, This is my first time posting but I have been reading posts here for a few months now. Lots and lots of useful info. Thank you!. Please forgive any newbie mistakes! I'll correct if I can.
The reason for the post: I have a 2000 LX470 (100 Series) and recently purchased from a friend, for a great price ($500), a set of 2020 TRD Pro BBS wheels and tires. He upgraded the wheels on his Tundra TRD Pro immediately after purchasing it. From reading posts here, and everywhere else really, I know that the Tundra TRD Pro wheels fit the 100 Series no problem! I tried to find some info that's specific to the 2020 TRD Pro wheels and its ability to fit the 100 series however that info apparently is hard to come by via google alone. It's also very possible my google-fu is not very good. I took a chance anyway and brought the wheels and my 100 series to Discount Tire so I can get them installed. However there was an issue, the wheels fit in the rear fine but not in the front!
This part of the front hub, pointed to in red...
is rubbing up against the inside part of the wheel before it could sit flush...
As you can see there are some scratches from the attempt to fit. The Discount Tire guys had to put it all back the way it was. I asked if spacers would work. I've seen posts on here where others have added spacers to widen the stance or fit larger tires. I'm not sure if it would work for my particular use case. I'm not interested in larger wheels. Not yet anyway . I just want to get these wheels on my 100 Series. The Discount Tire guys thinks bolt on spacers will work.
From all the posts I've read I think it will as well but I wanted to post this question specifically because like the TRD Pro wheels that I thought would fit I haven't seen any specific post or mention if spacers will work for this.
If it does work, which spacer do you suggest? What size? I've seen 1.5" and 2" spacers. Do I need spacers for the rear as well? I'd want the off set to match the rear so the wheels line up front to back. I don't want the front sticking farther than the back ones.
Possible added benefit?: I'm not sure but I think by adding the spacer it may also allow me to install the TRD center cap which I expected would normally not fit since the center hub sticks out quite a bit preventing the cap install. I would have been ok with that but if the spacers are in place, depending on the size, the center cap may fit? Thoughts?
I'm told Off Road Warehouse is the place to go for this sort of thing. Any suggestions or similar experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance and hopefully I didn't screw up too much for my first post.
