Spare Tire!

Hello everyone,
I am a new owner of 2022 limited 4runner, and my spare tire is missing.
I've looked online on Toyota parts and fount a spare "wheel" and it says it fits the 2022 limited but to make sure I called the dealer and they said no it doesn't fit and I actually need a regular rim that costs $495.05 .. of course I'm not spending that on a spare tire! I also tried to look in scrapyards but still nothing!
Did anyone go through this before? and if they did can they share their experience?
the tire pressure sensor is always lit on my dashboard because of that and its driving me crazy!!

 

My 97 had a spare. I'm sure you could buy generic steel wheel that would work.

 

Check fb marketplace

 

Try the correct forum? Your rig is 2 decades newer than any here.

Regardless, for a:
2022 Toyota 4Runner Limited, Nightshade, SR5, SR5 Premium, TRD Off-Road, TRD Off-Road Premium, TRD Pro, TRD Sport, Trail, Venture 4.0L V6 - Gas

The part number is:
42611-35430

Did the dealer say WHY it won't work?

 

Looks like there were multiple wheel sizes that year. You didn't tell us what wheel size you currently have. TOYOTA seems to list just the single spare steel wheel so maybe for larger wheels, they did give you the regular wheel as a spare.

 

they only said to buy a new rim for a limited edition. but i will call the dealer about this one and see if this works. thank you so much for the info

 

they are the 20' rims, so i would need to call the dealer again and see which one fits or if they have any

 

As far as I know all 5th gens have a steel spare.
You will get more responses in the 5th gen forum.

 

My 2018 Limited had a matching 20” aluminum rim. I just pulled all 5 and went with 5 17” ORP takeoffs

 

Do you think i can buy just one 20” rim? Ive been asking all people on fb marketplace but. They all selling all 4 rims

 

I’ve seen them sold separately many times over the past 3 months. eBay and FB marketplace . I have not yet decided if I will ever utilize mine again but I’m leaning on the side of never. Here is an example or 2 below.

This is an interesting approach...3 different threads, one in 3rd Gen, one in 5th Gen, and one in New Member Introductions, all regarding the same question...

 

this one was a mistake in this thread and I couldn't delete it. and there is only one other one in the 5th Gen.
If you can't help with an answer you can go on with your day.

And I did offer some suggestions in one of those...

Carry on.

 

And i do appreciate your time sir. Don’t get me wrong i am very new to this and so confused in pretty much everything i have almost 0 knowledge in cars. Bare with me and I apologize if I bothered anyone with my questions.

 

It's all good. I wasn't trying to give you a hard time. Did you ever get a line on a spare wheel & tire? It seems I saw someone offering single Limited wheels on Ebay...

 

after checking ebay and junkyards, the cheapest option i found was on Amazon and it had good reviews, it looks like im gonna go for it.

 

I think you accidentally commented on the spare tire thread instead of the headlight upgrade thread - https://www.4runners.com/threads/ne...d-row-need-lighting-advice.29090/#post-408569

 

@Zlatan45202 if there is any possibility could you please measure mid wheel to fender height all 4 corners? Asking since my Limited is no more stock I would like to see how much lift I have each corner. Thank you.
