    Box stock
    I have a 2000 4wd 4Runner with an automatic transmission. It has a set
    Of 16 inch wheels that are OEM
    It is box stock with no modification and has very low miles for its age. I recently picked up a set of 18 inch OEM wheels and tires that were on a 2023 Toyota Tundra. I really like the new wheels and am trying to determine path forward for install and fit, what will be required? The existing wheel studs are 12x1.5, the tundra wheels use 14x1.5 wheel studs. Does anyone offer a wheel spacer around 2 inches thick (difference in existing / new wheels off set) that would mount using existing 12 mm wheel studs and have 14mm studs to mount the new wheels on? I am assuming a lift kit will be part of the requirement, and would only lift enough to assure proper clearances. Any folks have like experience and can offer advice?

    kind regards, looking forward to my Toyota adventures!

    Welcome. Avoid the wheel spacer and replace the studs or try and find an open end lug nut with the correct seating.
