2nd Gen Tacoma Baja Wheels on 4th Gen 4Runner

Hi everyone,

I wanted to share my 2005 4Runner that I recently had new wheels and tires installed on.

The wheels (to my understanding) are the Baja wheels that were offered on the second gen Tacoma. I had never seen them on a 4Runner before so I thought I'd post some photos to anyone who might be interested. If anyone knows any more information on the wheels, (if they were included in a package/trim level for example) feel free to share. I bought these online from a Toyota dealer in Illinois.

Tires are 265/75/R16 Goodyear UltraTerrain Load Range E. Kind of a funny story on these, ordered the Goodyear Trailrunner A/T Load Range C and was set to have them installed. Well after the installation they walked me out to my truck and I instantly noticed they had swapped the Trailrunners with the Ultraterrains (A difference of $46/tire!) I tired to hide my surprise and just drove off like nothing happened. Was expecting a phone call that week asking me to come back in to swap them out but nothing ever came of it. I guess we'll see if they say anything when I go to get them rotated as my receipt still says I received the Trailrunners.

I absolutely love these wheels. I was really on the fence about them because tires alone are a large enough investment but I'm so glad I decided to purchase them. It made such a difference in my perception of the vehicle. When I bought the 4Runner a little over a year ago it had some pretty tacky Moto Metal wheels on that verged on being embarrassing in my opinion.

There didn't seem to be any issues with installation when I had them put on. The offset was different from the Moto Metals I had previously but there haven't been any clearance issues.

Thanks for looking!

 

Looks great.

 

First I have seen of those tires, they look good. Nice rig.

 

Thanks!

The tires are a Discount Tire exclusive and they're somewhat regional to my understanding so they may not be available in all areas depending on where you live. So far I have been happy with them. The on-road performance has been great with low noise for how chunky the tread is. Off-road certainly hasn't disappointed either but time will tell how they hold up in Detroit winters!
