Using 17" TRD wheels from 4Runner on LC250?

[Junkmatt]

I have acquired a set of 17" TRD wheels and tires (17 X 8.5, with 285 / 70 / 17 tires) from a 4Runner. The bolt pattern is correct for LC250 (6X5.5), but the holes for the studs are .75" as opposed to the LC250 wheels with .875".
Has anybody found an appropriate lug nut to use with this combo? Or do I just need to get new wheels?
Thanks

You could drill the wheels for LC250 M14 bolts. Another potential issue is the 4Runner wheels will typically have a 20mm or less offset that will rub on a stock LC250 with those 285 series tires.

I have considered drilling them on my Bridgeport CNC. I did put them on in the driveway, and the clearances are OK (offset)

I tried the same thing with ‘18 TRD off road 4 runner rims. Same situation, the lugs wouldn’t get past the center caps. The poke was slightly outside the fenders, which looks good but I am on dirt roads too much and don’t need to throw dirt on the side of my vehicle any more than necessary. Lastly the clearance of the brake calipers was maybe 3/16” . I don’t need the hassle so I sold the rims.

I wouldn’t do it. What keeps the wheel dead center is the exact fit of the center bore of the rims onto the hubs — not the lugs nuts. The center bore of the 4Runner rims are a much larger diameter than the Land Cruiser rims. If you do manage to mount them some how, the gap between the center bore and hub will result in vibration.

Looks like I will sell the wheels and tires and get new, proper rims. Thanks for the advice.

As long as the 4runner wheel has a larger center bore, you can buy centering rings that will center the wheel correctly.

People have put these wheels on the 6th gen 4Runner, but I'm not sure what lugnuts they used. IMO, the offset is way out of the desirable range. They will poke like crazy.
