17 inch Genuine Toyota Steelies

I don't see how it could because the 285/70R18 doesn't fit and that's 33.7" diameter. There is a metal bracket that may have to be modified or maybe it sits at a wonky angle but because of the narrower tire it is not as noticeable as the 285 width. My 285/65R18 was the same diameter as the 265/70R18 tire and fit fine but the wider tire sat lower by about an inch or so.
I really, really wish that Toyota would've kept the barn door with tire carrier like the older LC's, but no, they had to go and make it a hatchback :ROFLMAO: with the spare down below. That makes me think they weren't thinking of the Prado/J250 as a heavy duty offroad vehicle or maybe they thought that the rock crawlers would probably have an aftermarket rear bumper with tire carrier. I'll never know though and it is what it is. Still love the truck, 17k miles and no problems thus far.
Found the thread where @LcAz mentioned it fits perfectly: 34x10.5 Toyo AT3 D load?

These tires are actually around 33.5" so somewhat makes sense.
 
While walking the dogs I noticed a neighbor has a new-ish white Tacoma with the silver steelies that I want so bad. I'm going to leave him a note to see if he's interested in a straight wheels/tires swap with my 1958 alloys/all-season tires. I figure if he went with the poverty-spec Tacoma he wouldn't mind a little wheel upgrade (most people besides steel wheels weirdos like me ought to consider the 1958 wheels a nice upgrade). Here's hoping...
 
Ok, so I posted that I was going to give the 2024 Tacoma TRD OffRoad 17"x7.5" +55 offset wheels a try with Toyo AT3s in 34x10.5R17. Well, I really like the "stock" look. It's understated and I know there are many who are scratching their heads and thinking "WTF is that guy thinking". It's all good. I wanted a 17" wheel but did not want something sticking out past my mud flaps making a mess of my truck. I like that it looks a little more utilitarian now.

Looks great, that's a lot of sidewall!
