    Humor me here..... So I got a set of Rubicon Hardrock wheels I was going to use for my wife’s Grand Cherokee Trailhawk for winter tire swaps. Plans changed and we’re not going to use them.
    Here are the same wheels in discussion( no tires yet).upload_2019-9-21_0-58-36.jpg
    So I did some research and found these also.

    I would obviously need to do a little more research on the spacers to find out about the hub bore but in theory they should bolt up.

    Now for the offset....
    TRD OR wheel are +25mm.
    The Jeep wheels are +45mm.
    The spacer at 2” would be about -50mm.
    That would give me a final offset of -5mm.
    So correct me here if I’m wrong but that should be the same as running about a 1.25” spacer on a stock wheel?

    So now let’s here your opinions on the matter.

    I'd keep jeep wheels on a jeep. There are plenty of good looking wheels with the correct bolt pattern to fit our Tacomas out there. Choose one! But to put jeep wheels on a Taco? Blasphemy!

    I'm indifferent to the idea, but I think you should do it anyway just to annoy people.

    I might be unique here but I think most Toyota oem wheels are kinda meh. And I really like the Jeep wheels. But you’re right. For the price of the adapter and what I could sell these for I’m sure I could find something better.

    And because this......

    Cant put 5 spoke rims on a 6 lug hub. Something to do with the coriolis effect and spinning objects.

    Those already look like the Tacoma OR wheels and also has a small Jeep silhouette on it. But I’m all about the mad scientist approach

    I would just have to only make right hand turns. Unless of course I went to the Southern Hemisphere, in which case it would only be left hand turns.
