The original equipment rims designed and installed on the Toyota Tundra at the manufacturing plant are a key component of the vehicle’s overall design and functionality. These rims are specifically engineered to meet the truck’s load-bearing requirements and performance specifications. As an example, a 2023 Tundra SR might be equipped with 18-inch styled steel rims, while a higher trim level like the Limited could feature 20-inch alloy versions.
Using the manufacturer’s rims provides several advantages. These include maintaining the vehicle’s intended handling characteristics, ensuring compatibility with safety systems, and preserving the truck’s resale value. Furthermore, adhering to the original design often ensures proper fitment, avoiding issues with brake clearance or suspension interference. Historically, these rims have evolved alongside the Tundra, reflecting changes in design trends, materials science, and performance demands.
