2010 Tundra with Newer Wheels

Hey everyone, just picked up this 2010 SR5 w/ 135k on the clock a couple of weeks ago and I'm not a huuuuge fan of the steelies it came with. I'm looking to throw on some newer Tundra wheels once I find a good set on marketplace, but am not sure what will fit (wheel specs, lugs, years, that sort of thing) since my last truck was a 95 F150. New to Toyota, so any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

Welcome. The 2007-2021 Tundra all shared same 5x150 bolt pattern, so any of those years will fit. But if I remember correctly, the steel wheels did use different lug nuts than the alloy wheels.

 

Good lookin' truck, I like that color.

Might wanna' post up where you're located in case somebody has wheels for sale. (Pretty hard item to ship) I just saw some nice TRD wheels for sale in the marketplace forum, he's in Tennessee.

I know how you feel... When I got my '00 I loved the truck (Pestered my father in law for YEARS to sell it to me) but I hated the OEM wheels... they look like metal flowers to me.



I got some from Discount Tire that were quite reasonably priced and made it look much better. (Just as another option)

There were two wheels I liked, and the installers actually mounted a tire (I was buying new KO2's at the same time) on each of the two different wheels and put them on the truck so I could see how they looked.
That really helped 'cuz one of the wheels I thought I liked didn't really look that great once it was on the truck.

 

Welcome from NY.

 

37x12.50r17

 

Correct.

 

I'm partial to sport / platinum wheels

 

I think this was definitely the look I wanted to go for; do you know what year those are off of? Thanks for all the great info everyone

 

14-21. Those are 20’s whereas your Steelies are 1&’s, so you would need new tires as well.

This is correct. They also use different TPMS sensors, so you will either need to find a set of wheels that include lugs and the TPMS sensors or pony up for a new set. The tire shop can supply the sensors if needed; I seem to recall Toyota charging $100 a pop for them but hopefully I’m wrong about that. Lugs can be expensive - $9 a pop and you need 20 of them. Gorilla makes a replacement that’s a solid lug instead of the two piece Toyota design, but mine rusted within a year so I went back to stock lugs.

Nice truck, BTW. You’re gonna love it.

 

Welcome from the Rust Belt Pa.. Good looking truck and new set of wheel will really set it off.

 

Interesting... so those look like the TRD wheels but with 6 narrower spokes instead of 5 fat ones.

 

They came on some Limited (or platinum?) trucks as well as the TRD Sport package (the one with upgraded sway bars, the red and blue shocks before those became standard on all TRD models, and a slightly lower ride height. In person, they are easy to tell apart from thr TRD off road wheels. As well, they are a 20” wheel instead of an 18. But similar design cues.

 

I appreciate it, definitely a much better ride than the 28 year old F150 I've been riding around in the past few years haha. Yeah the plan is to wait until I needed new tires since mine have ~50% still left on them right now, but never hurts to look around for a good deal either and just hold on to them til they're needed. So I'll need newer TPMS for newer wheels (mine aren't working ATM anyways so no biggie), new lugs for aluminum wheels, and they should bolt right up? Thanks

 

Yup. Just make sure they/you get new TPMS for the aluminum wheels, not the steel wheels. The steel wheels have a different angle on the stem and the tire mount I f machine would break them off if you tried to mount them on the aluminum wheels. Or they just flat don’t fit and you break the aluminum ones kff thr steel wheels if mounted. Either way, they aren’t cross compatible.

I ended up finding a set of near-new takeoffs from a 21 tundra a little while back; the owner included the lugs but not the TPMS sensors. Having the lugs saved me a few bucks as mine had been destroyed by the tire guys and I was using a rusting set of Gorilla lugs. I lucked out and got a Stoopid good deal on them. I had them powdercoated before swapping them and still came out ahead compared to the price of aftermarket wheels.

 

They're off my 19 trd sport

 

I'm a relic from the past , so here's my 2010 with chrome Land Cruiser wheels, new center caps painted black, lug nut covers and red center cover.
