    Default NATO Style Steel Wheels

    Does anyone know of a good NATO type steel wheel that will fit the Montero? I'm having a hard time finding anything because of the large hub size...

    Thanks!

    No familiar with what the NATO style wheels look like. Got a pic?

    FWIW, if they fit a 6 lug Toyota LC axle with manual hubs they should also fit a Montero.

    Toyota Tundra, Tacoma and 4Runner wheels from the late 90's to early '05 were available in the 6-lug, 16" and 17" rim bands with approximately the same spider as depicted on the later 5-lug LandCruiser. The Toyota rims will fit the Montero hub no problem, just be aware that the rims have significant backspacing.

    Default Montero Sport Spare Tire?

    Does anyone know if the Montero Sport come with a steel spare or alloy spare?

    Might be a place to look, if it came with a steel spare.

    Toyota steel wheels won't fit Gen 2 but might work on Gen 1. I don't know for sure. Offset/backspacing is actually pretty good. 15mm on Toyota v 10 mm for example on Montero 7" alloys

    My experience is solely with Gen I Montero/Raider and Gen II Mighty Max. Clarification will help narrow the desired product search.
