Can you share the part number for the bronze center caps?
High Offset Wheels (>=than 40mm)

FYI Toyota has a 25% off special for parts, and some dealers have their own discount.
I ordered the TRD Wheels off the Toyota Parts site and got them for $711 for a set of 4.

Can you provide the link? Is this a dealer specific site, or simply the Toyota site? I really like these wheels and would like to order a set while on special.
I believe I’m looking for this exact setup. I really like these wheels and want to stay close to stock on the tire size (265/275/285).
Question: did you buy a 5 wheel tire as a spare? Did it fit?
Not sure what you mean '5 wheel tire'. I went with 285s on the new wheels, retained the stock spare wheel and put a 275 on it, since it barely fit where the spare goes (285 absolutely will not fit with an 18" wheel, and anyone who says it does likely doesn't have it mounted flush to the 'ceiling' where the chain pulls it up).
I meant 5th wheel - a spare. Your answer was perfect. I appreciate the guidance on the size of the spare tire.
Thanks for taking the time to compile and post this! Just picked up my J250 last week and have been confused about offset. Finally starting to sink in but notice that "40 degree offset" doesn't seem all too common. Do you all think that this will change soon due to the growing number of vehicles that seem to "need" this?
Hopefully so. Especially now that the 4Runner is coming out, there should be a lot of demand. I got the Tacoma wheels with a 45 offset.
I see a LOT of discussion about changing wheel offset to achieve a specific look or to be able to install desired tires. Every discussion is about wheel rub, but there is a more significant factor to consider and that’s “tramlining”. Changing wheel offset and tire width effect the propensity to “tramline” your vehicle, which could pose a significant safety risk if you go too far. Please do some research on this before you make your decision and understand the engineers didn’t randomly select wheel offset or tire size
The Japanese aftermarket wheel mfgs have a lot of high offset fitments (40-50mm) for Land Cruisers, because their domestic regs do no allow 'poke' with tires exposed outside of the fenders. In other countries this isn't an issue, and many of the 6x139.7 aftermarket wheels have low or negative offsets. IMO you probably won't see a lot of choices for high offset aftermarket wheels for the 4Runner because most of those buyers prefer an "aggressive 4x4' look with a lot of concavity in an aftermarket wheel.

A knowledgeable alignment shop should be able to correct these types of handling issues with adjustments to toe and caster, no?
No. Its not something an alignment shop can accommodate for.
How do toe, caster, and camber adjustments to a suspension not affect handling issues such as tramlining?

going too far can cause extreme case of tramlining where the car gets pulled off the road if you hit a soft shoulder. Scott Brady does a good job discussing and explaining this over at Overland Journal
Sticking with a 40 to 70 offset wheel keeps things fairly stock. Toyota sells these with offsets of 70 to 50 (for the GX550). And Toyota has said this vehicle is designed for 33” tires without modifications.
Yes, I think you’re right. My point is just that people need to realize there is more than just rubbing to consider. There are a lot of forces being exerted into the wheels and offset is carefully chosen by the engineers
I appreciate the caution. I have the 58 and was disappointed to find out after purchase that the wheels were only 7in wide- rather than 7.5 of the LC/FE. Maybe it doesn't make a difference, but most tires I'm considering for stock wheels show width of 7-9 and while my wheels are technically in-spec, I'd feel a bit more comfortable if the wheels were more in the middle of the range.
