Anyone running factory steel rims (spare wheels) on their Tundra?

which center caps fit on the steel wheels like this picture ?

 

Love to see lifted Tundras. Thank you for the photos

 

those are probably just stock 18" tundra spare steelies. I've been sourcing free & dirt cheap steelies from this forum, craigslist, and marketplace. i'm just going to sand them down and hit 'em with a rattlecan treatment.

 

Those center caps are specifically for the steel wheels.

 

Something I read on here said you can't use certain wheel spacers with the steelies. Anyone know what I'm talking about? I need to add about 1" of poke (though I really don't want to) to clear my SPC UCAs and the factory steelies are the same offset as my OEM wheels. Sooooo...would need to add spacers. Probably the thinnest ones possible. But again, supposedly there can be a compatibility issue (if I remember correctly).

 

I have 1.25" spacers with the 5 spoke steel wheels no problems. If you use 1" you might have to cut the wheel studs shorter.

 

Ah, that's what it was. Remind again me why you can't use the 1" spacers though? I've never messed with spacers so not really visualizing the problem...

 

The wheel studs on the truck are longer than one inch. They will stick out past the face of the spacer and the wheel wont fit tight, so you would have to grind off the ends of the wheel studs. Alloy wheels arent solid aluminum, there are cavities on the hub face of the wheel so this isnt a problem and may not need the grinding done.

 

Lug studs can be replaced if you cut them and change your mind later tho.

 

Yeah. IDK. The thought of fucking with wheel studs scares me. Hell, the thought of spacers kinda scares me too. Honestly, will probably wind up just using an aftermarket wheel with slight added offset.

 

No spacers ever

one of my studs broke off a while ago. Thanks for the reminder

 

i only need one more wheel. so far on the four that i have, i have spent $40. stock spare, got two for free from buds on this forum, and another from fb marketplace for $40 with a brand new tire. the guy i bought it from told me he'd give me my $40 back for the tire when i have it removed. one more to go...

 

Saw this absolute UNIT today in Carlsbad. You on here?? Heart eyes emoji
