Default 20" '07 Tundra Wheels on 100 series pictures/install

Not an LX, but a 100 series nonetheless...also note that Pre-'07 Tundra wheels will not fit a 100 series Land Cruiser/LX470. This is strictly '07 and up Tundra wheels to 100 series.

First off, the 100 series grease cap on the front hub protrudes much further than the '07 Tundra's, which prevents one from using the Tundra hubcaps (wheel spacers could remedy this I'm sure)

Tundra cap topped out on grease cap...


The stock caps from your 16" or 18" wheels can be used though, as they are cupped to accomodate the cap. There needs to be modification for them to work still though. The "fingers" between the lugs are just slightly to big to them to snap right on so they need to be ground down at an angle to snap in snug. Use patience and care when doing this to prevent damage to your cap.

Note the "fingers" overlap the hub opening on the wheel and the angle is off a little-


Before-


After- (this was a perfect fit, I did however clean up the ground area with a fine sand before install after this picture)


Final Product-





I would also assume this same install would work for any of the '07 Tundra wheels of any size. Offset and bolt pattern are identical on all of them. this allows for me to put some aggressive desert tires on the 16" without my wife having to daily drive them as I have plans for this to be an expedition vehicle.

nicely done! I like how clean it makes the 100 look, way better then the stock 16 originally on there.

Wow! Very nice.


Now if you could use the Tundra's LARGE calipers that would be awesome too.

I like how they still look stock, I am very happy with how they turned out. I might look for some spacers at some point just to stick them out enough to use the stock Tundra caps and give it a little better stance.

Would be nice, although you might notice that the calipers on the 100 series aren't exactly lightweight. I will definitely be watching for people doing that conversion, I still need to clear my stock 16" though as they will have my wheeling tires on them. As far as overall tire size, these are within an inch of diameter it looked like when I was trading them out so no real speedo correction or increased braking to speak of.

i just put smaller spacers on my wheels and it smashed both grease caps on the front wheels. Is there anything wrong with the grease caps on the hubs getting flattened by the wheel smashing it down?

Thanks guys, heres some more recent photos (same angle). The windows got re-tinted last year @ PH Protection. These wheels have been great on this rig. I still really like them on here. It gives the truck a very updated look as opposed to the stockers. I've since put on a set of slotted/drilled cryo treated rotors and TRD pads because I tow quite a bit. No pics of those, but they're fantastic as far as heavy braking with a load. Way less fade for sure.

I like the 4Runner peaking in the back there haha.

I'm about to find out. Was going to try something in an AT, but I'm having a hard time picking out a size. I'm probably not ever going to lift this truck or anything, might sell it for a newer model in the next year or so, but I want a larger tire under it for some more sidewall.
