  • what is the wheel offset on a 2nd gen 4runner?

    Does anyone know the wheel offset on a 2nd gen UK 4runner toyota standard alloys is?

    I have non-toyota alloys that came on truck.
    A stamp on wheel says E. -15 - I reckon this is a negative 15mm offset,

    was wondering what the toyota standard alloys have stamped on them?

    the wheels - 16", 7J soemthing with 265/70 r16 tyres stick out at the side of the vehicle about 1/2-1 inch, I was wondering if offset is to far away from what it should be.
    I have had the front wheel bearing coming slightly loose too - so wondering if this is again offset related - i.e. strain on bearings?

    offset 8 on alloy wheels on a 94 3.0 widebody surf.

    Just get some wheel arch extensions and enjoy!
    (or sell them to me)

        The bearings maybe knackered if they keep going loose (assuming your tightening them up OK, and staking the lock washer properly) , normally they are OK with big wheels, I ran 12" wide rims for years on my old truck, most of it offset and they where fine.

        How much of you tyre sticking out is the actual tread? Sidewall doesn't count to be legal.

        You may have solid axle spec rims, they have more offset than IFS rims as the axles are narrower.

          cheers for reply

          its about 1/2 to 1 inch of tread that sticks out.
          I've been torquing up the wheel baring adjuster nut to correct torque, and bending over tabs on new locktab washer.

          how does one tell when the bearing is knackered? they sound ok, no rumble like ive hear before on a car with dead bearings
