    Aloha!

    I have a stock 2014 limited and thinking about changing out the ‘chrome’ 18 in wheels for the 4Runner snowflake wheels. I know they are different offsets, but would that affect the alignment/fitment? I’m looking into the KO2s and was wondering what size I need to keep the same wheel/tire size as stock diameter.
    Thanks!

    We have no idea what the offset of your chrome 18s are or the tires that are mounted to them so it's hard to make a comparison. I like tiresize.com to compare sizes of tires. The 4runner wheels have a +25mm offset. To answer a portion of your inquiry, wheels don't change your alignment.

    Thanks for the reply!

    I just did some research and my Tacoma’s limited chrome wheels are 25mm offset and the 4Runner snowflakes are 15mm offset. Would the offsets affect the suspension or anything? Sorry, I’m not that knowledgeable with rims and tires

    They’ll fit for sure. Your Limiteds are 18’s. I think the snowflakes are 17’s?

    Main thing is you have the proper size tires to keep the overall diameter within stock specs. If the snowflakes are 17’s, then you’d have to go with 265/65/17 tires

    The offset will change how much the tire pokes out from fender.edge.
    May or may not also be a cause for potential rubbing on something.

    I run those wheel and tires. KO2's are 265/70/R17 no rubbing. I got them before I did a 2 inch lift. Didn't rub before or after

    good to know! Thanks!

    I might go with 265/65/17 so it’s the same size tires as my 265/60/18 on my current ones on my Tacoma.
