How resistant are these OEM steel rims to corrosion in the winter? Contemplating the set for the Tundra, depending on how long it takes for them to rust.

If you’re worried about corrosion steelies might not be a good answer for you. Eventually they’ll rust in any area that the paint gets scratched or nicked.
This set up looks great.I was able to downsize my wheels to 17 inch without any issues! It’s very tight especially in the rear but, the rear calipers aren’t interfering and turning freely. I always think the base trim Land Cruisers sold outside of North America are so cool! I grew up in outskirts of Tokyo and my place was located halfway between Hino’s Hamura Plant and the port. I remember seeing hundreds of “export spec”LC Prados and North American spec FJ Cruisers were getting transported to the port everyday. I wanted something not made for JDM so bad and that’s where my fantasies all started
Now I live in a city in Western Canada and I do appreciate all the features like Apple Carplay, Toyota Safety Sence and etc., but I still want my LC look plane Jane almost looks like 70 series sold in Middle East. You can skip and ignore this post if this is not your cup of tea. It’s just my fantasy hahaha
Driving from Vancouver, BC to Baja, Mexico with my kids now. I didn’t have enough time to source the genuine lug nuts in Canada so I went to the dealership in Marin county, CA to get more appropriate type lug nuts(Acorn M14 x 1.5 capped). A guy at the parts counter was super helpful and he figured out older Tundra ones work!The original socket size was 21mm but now 22mm.
But I’m OK with that, cuz torque spec is around 100ft/lb.
Here’s the part numbers for these parts:
‘24 Tacoma Base Rim 42601-AK031
Tundra Base Lug Nuts 90942-A1003
Tires: BF GOODRICH ALL TERRAIN A/T
255/75R17
Favor time...would you be so kind and measure to determine ground clearance with those 255s?

Hi IceCap1958, can you share the part# for the steel wheel in silver if you successfully find it? I guess the center caps are sold separately so the part# for that as well
I just wanna try both colors. Whichever I decide not to use, I’ll sell them to somebody else

Hi mayonayze, I’ve seen 18” five spoke steel rims for older Tundras but, not sure they fit LC250 or not. I’m pretty sure you can get aftermarket one no problem.

Super cool! I hope the offset and centre bore will match

I used the tire size calculator and achieved almost the same tire diameter from the original size. I don’t think the ground clearance didn’t change much

The part numbers for the silver steelies are:
Wheels: 42601-AK011
Center Caps: 4260B-AK010
Let us know if you have any success finding them. I've spoken to a few parts places in the USA, they are on a backordered status with no timeline, and according to one dealer I spoke to in Canada, discontinued for the Canadian market already. I just tossed in an order at the cheapest price I could find and if I find a set sooner I'll cancel. Might just pick up some other Tacoma 17" in the meantime...
I was able to add the wheels to my online shopping cart from Longo Toyota (which is local to you I think) but I hesitated before giving them my credit card number until I could talk to a human being (too long hold time). Did you try Longo?

westla4x4,
Thanks for the part#. Let me ask around both in Canada and Japan!
I have a Jeep Wrangler with 315/70R17 KO2s. Love the look. Any way to get this look on the LC? If you go to 17” wheels, what’s the largest tire you can get on it without adding a lift or modifying it? Or is only way to get that size is to add a lift?

I also didn't get thru at Longo but I don't believe they had in stock. I feel like many of those online Toyota parts stores are just sourcing as the orders come in...
Hopefully you're able to find!

Hey IceCap1958, never heard of Longo. No such a Toyota dealer or third party genuine parts supplier in British Columbia. But, I’ll search it up before I jump to a conclusion.
Have you considered 255/80R17? The are a tiny bit larger but should still fit.I was able to downsize my wheels to 17 inch without any issues!
