TRD 17" x 8" Wheels -install questions

[Kaizer Sozay 13]

Question:

I know couple of guys have used these on 200-series. Besides purchasing the rim/wheel itself (Part#PTR45-34070), what all else has to be purchased? Will stock lug nuts work? will stock Tire Pressure sensors work if i pull them off my stock rims? Are there any Shims/spacers required? I really don't see anything on the TRD website that answers these questions and I attempted to search IH8MD, but never found a thread that answered these questions.

Regards,

The TRD 17s will bolt right on, the lug nuts are different but included with the wheels. Hopefully someone will chime in regarding the TPMS. That said, a dealer (or good indy) should know. Other 17s have issues clearing the calipers so sticking OEM is for sure the best idea. I've found them at $349 a corner, what prices have you seen?

My vehicle is US spec with non adjustable susp which I plan to keep at stock height. I'm planning to buy a set of the 17" TRD rims with KM2s for when go on my more challenging off-roading trips in wet climates. I see that 285/70R17 are 1.25" taller than the stock 285/60R18s. I'm 99% it won't, but can anyone tell me 100% whether this extra 0.7" above the rim will pose problems for my wheel arches etc when the axles are compressed? Also, any preferences on what is better between KM2s or Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs?

Also, will this 32.7" tire (stock is 31.5") fit in the spare tire position?

If I stick with the 18s I'll be going to 285/65R18s (32.6") so the above size scenarios still apply.
