Tundra 18" wheel - front center hub cover options?

[Wah00]

I am running these Tundra wheels on my 100. The center cover for these wheels will not fit over the front hub. I've been using some larger covers that I bought from someone on here a few years ago, but they were made for a different wheel and did not fit perfectly, either, and required a little retrofitting and elbow grease to stay on. That was fine until you needed to remove them for some reason, then it was a little tricky to wedge them back on without breaking them.

Had to get new shoes today (Toyo ATIIIs), and unfortunately the tech cracked my front covers trying to get them back on. I hope I have two more left that I can dig out, but if not - are there any other solutions for covering the hub with these wheels?

Front and rear photos below for reference. Any help/ ideas appreciated.

I have these same wheels on my truck. Spacers are the only way to keep THOSE center caps. Folks are starting to 3d print center caps to fit over the fronts which is another option.

Thanks. Yours looks great. What size spacers did you use?

Also, if you know anyone offering those 3D prints - let me know.

I have tundra trd pros on mine without spacers and the toyota logo on the center comes out allowing you to drill a hole big enough for the dust cover to fit. Then I siliconed the toyota center caps back on. Not the exact wheel you have but it works for mine and they have held up for a few years now. Might work for you.

I have Spidertrax 1.25" spacers front and rear.

I just painted the hubs silver to match the wheels, Rustoleum Aluminum enamel, fine bristle brush, two thin coats, looks fine to me, very durable.

Okay, not the same Tundra wheels, but I went with the more utilitarian look - painting the hub black, black nuts, etc. And yeah, the steel wheels already have more of a utilitarian vibe.

I’ve been running the same Tundra wheels as yours on my 2007 100 Series for at least 12 years and 200K miles, probably more. My setup is the same as Hokie’s - 1.25” Spidertrax spacers. No need to fuss around with a Dremel - the stock center caps fit fine. Never had a problem with the bearings or anything else and I prefer the wider stance. But my LC is a daily driver. If you spend lots of time offroad, better to do without spacers like Manhattan and simply paint the hubs to match - it’s a good look too imo. Or you could buy four new Nomad Convoy wheels (they come in three colors and two or three offsets). They offer hubcaps in the same three colors, and both normal depth (for the rear wheels) and extra deep (for the front wheels). Not sure about the quality, but they look amazing.

There's definitely an OEM solution here. I bought these off a guy on craigslist. 18" Tundra wheels and there's a deeper hubcap for the front than the back. I just pulled it off and no part number is printed on it that I could see. Maybe someone on here has found this or done the same??

Wow, those actually look really nice. Where did you score a set of these?

You can find them all over FB marketplace for cheap.

Trying to find these on Amazon so if they don't fit I can return them. Those look kinda like these:

Yeah — good find. Let us know if they fit.

those front caps look like the LC caps

I ended up going the cheap and less visually pleasing route and cutting a hole in the center caps. Looks good enough from the drivers seat.
If I ever break one, I'll probably fork over the $40 for these on Amazon.

Okay — I bought them. Won’t show up for a few weeks but I’ll reply here on how they fit.

Those extended wheel caps are indeed OEM. Running the same 18" Tundra wheels, pulled the caps off the original 16" wheels and they clipped right into the tundra wheels.

Perfect fit. The Amazon four pack, ftw.

I had to use 1.5" to get mine to fit.

FYI - I also bought a set of the Amazon 4 pack and they did NOT fit. The style Tundra wheels I have are the same as the original poster of this thread which is slightly different than the second style set above. Oh well. Amazon refund it is.
