Tacoma rims on a ranger?

Hello,

I am looking at buying a set of 2008 tacoma rims+tires and wondering if they'll fit my 2006 4x4 ranger?

cheers

going by wheel size dot com the 2 wheel drive tacoma wheels have the correct bolt pattern but the center bore is 10mm too small. So the short answer is they will not fit.

All Rangers used 5 lug × 4.5 bolt pattern

But there are other things to consider, 4x4s need larger hole in the center on front wheels
And then there is Off-set, distance from wheels hub to inside of wheels rim this can cause problems with brake rotors and tire rubbing on frame or fenders.

Ranger details here: http://www.therangerstation.com/how-...fitment-guide/

Tacoma bolt pattern here: https://www.discountedwheelwarehouse..._Reference.cfm

2008 Tacoma 4x4 used 6 lugs at 5.5" so no they won't fit Ranger of any year
The 2008 2WD used 5 x 4.5" which would fit but.................center hole or off-set would need to be checked

I find it odd Toyota did that, same size truck but different wheel patterns????

maybe the 4x4 is a world universal size thats a bit beefier for jungles, deserts,extreme daily off road. VS 2wd would not belong in any of those territories so maybe used someone elses axles.

Well looks like F-150 also did that, they had 5 lugs, 6 lug and 7 lug on a heavy duty F-150
