Tacoma wheel swap to first gen Sequoia

[JBMcG]

I found a couple deals on a 2019 and 2010 Tacoma Wheel sets. If I understand correctly, the offset on a stock Sequoia is +15 whereas the Tacoma of those years had +30 or +25 which would bring the tires/wheels 10 or 15mm closer to suspension components. I threw one of the 2019 wheels (which already had tires mounted), on the front, and it looks OK, but is anyone aware of any rubbing with this setup?

Alternatively, I could get a set of 1" spacers which would create an overall +5 offset (moving outward 10mm as compared to stock). Any issues with rubbing on the fender in this scenario?

Alternatively, I could bag the whole idea and get rid of the wheel sets and stick with OEM.

*I also see that Bora makes a 3/4" hub centric adapter/spacer. This would bring it a lot closer to factory spec. Maybe I'm answering my own question here...*

**update. Went to tire shop and they say Tacoma wheels should be good, but they'd do a free test fit to confirm. I'd rather not do a spacer if I can avoid it. Haven't done any mechanical modifications yet, and prefer not to start with spacers to accommodate a different wheel offset.

Since you can obviously avoid spacers by not buying wheels with less than ideal offset , definitely just buy different takeoffs with proper offset. That is a weak point worth avoiding in my opinion. I've installed Spidertracks spacers in the past but this adds $250 plus to your cost. Why not just add this to your wheel budget and get the correct wheels

Something to keep in mind is that Sequoia first gen wheels can be had in 17 and 18 and are often cheaply purchased. They automatically have the correct offset for our 2002s and have better tire availability than our original 16s. Something else to consider is that Tacoma wheels tend to be narrower than Sequoia or Tundra wheels, so that can limit your tire selection.

Personally, I am running 17s off an 04 Sequoia with some Spidertrax 1.25" 'spacers' (legally, they're adapters - adapters are legal, slip-over spacers will not be touched by any legit tire store.) The reason I have the spacers was to improve the track and provide additional clearance for a future GX brake upgrade. It made a big difference to road stability.

I went with the Tacoma tires which have a +10mm offset relative to the stock wheels and I'm pretty sure they're the same width. Also, I run OEM tire size and already had the 16" snow tires. I don't notice a difference with handling or road feel. I'm happy with the decision.

Down the line may go with 17 inch rims to accommodate a big brake kit. If I'm not mistaken, they require at least 17's.

What size tires?

My first Sequoia was Taco 18’s, +25mm offset, 275/65’s (32”). First with 1.25” spacers (-7 effective offset) and then with .75” spacers (+6). I rubbed the pinch weld with 1.25’s, the 1/2” narrower spacers solved that. Was the biggest size and right offset to just bolt up and fit (full size spare as well).

Sequoia #2 had Taco 17’s, +30 offset, 285/70’s (33’s). First with 1” spacers (+5) and it rubbed frame at full lock. 1.25” spacers (-2) rubbed frame less and rubbed pinch welds more. Would need about -10 and pinch welds hammered. Spare had to be flat to fit.
