Hello I was hoping someone could share some expertise if anybody knows:

I have a set of the stock 15 inch ‘three spoke wheels from a 2000 Tacoma (bought 2nd hand), they also come on the 4Runner.
They have a set of stock center caps. Look great

My issue is I am installing them on my 94 4Runner. The factory center caps do not fit on the front, as the hubs on the 94 come out just a little too far

See photos- the center caps are nearly flush. Need a set that extends out similar to 80 series LC’s

Does anybody know if any other center caps fit on the stock 15 inch six lug (3 spoke) alloy wheels from a 3rd Gen 4Runner / 2000 Tacoma?

Any help would be appreciated
My only other option is to cut out a hole in the center of the center cap and paint the hub black to match. I’d prefer to find another center cap can can clear the hub.

thank you

Richard

I don't think a deeper center cap exists for this wheel, but I could be wrong
If you need to clearance the cap, a 4" holesaw does a very clean job. Use it by hand, the groove in the cap is the guide no need for the arbor/pilot bit

Thanks, I went ahead and Drilled hole, painted, and it looks ok from a distance for now.
if anybody has any second GEN forerunner wheels and caps let me know
thank you!

Richard,
The caps on my '01-'02 version wheels are fairly tall. Maybe pick up a used one on EBay to try.
I recently stripped & repainted a set for my truck.
