Default Will the 4runner wheels fit the GX?

I've seen on here that some of the members have 4Runner wheels on their GX. So the "newbie" question is will any and all of the toyota wheels intended for the 4runner fit the GX, i.e. bolt pattern and offsets are OK.

Also, how about any of the other Toyota trucks like the tundra and Sequioa, will they fit the GX?

Thanks,
Bob

17 and 18 4runner wheels are the same bolt patters and offset. FJ 17 will fit but has a 10mm difference in offset.

I'm pretty sure the new Tundra/Sequoia has 5 lug wheels, so you can rule those out along with the TLC/LX which are also 5 lugs. The older Tundra/Sequoia I believe are 6 lugs, but not sure about the off-set.

Yes, the last-model tundra and sequoia wheels will fit. They have the same offset as the FJ wheels -- 15mm compared to our 25mm, which would push them "out" 10mm.

I thought hard about the sequoia wheels before deciding on the 18" t4r limited wheels. Love 'em.

I love mine:
- they look like they belong on the truck -- look oem, yet a bit different
- they weigh the same as the OE wheels (at least my wheel+tire combos weigh the same (oe+bridgestone vs t4r+cross-terrains), which is rare when you go +1
- steering feel and responsiveness improves a bit, which is nice
- easy to clean

on the debit side:
- ride harshness does increase slightly -- as is typical in a +1 setup
- finish on the wheels doesn't seem to be quite up to Lexus standards (mine have a few chips in need of touchup already)

Oh, and I forgot perhaps the best "benefit": they're cheap -- very cheap for OEM wheels. I think I paid $198/ea at the dealer. Strangely, this is significantly cheaper (almost 50%) the cost of the 17s on a 4runner sport.

oh, you got your set from the dealer? i thought you got it off ebay. so what did you tell the parts guy when he asked you what year and model?

which dealer did you get it from? toyota or lexus? and if you got it from toyota dealer, where did you get the lexus caps and for how much?

I bought a set of 4 wheels for a "2007 4runner Limited" at the local Toyota parts counter.

In addition, I bought Toyota center caps for mine. I know several people have come up with lexus-logo'd solutions for theirs -- I didn't bother; I kind of like the double-takes they generate.

Finally, I bought a set of 4 TPMS sensors online from lexus-parts dot com.

couldn't you use the OEM TPMS sensors in your old lexus tires before the swap? or is that necessary?

TPMS are tire pressure something something sensor, correct?
