Need to replace all 4. A combination of age and general condition.

Can't read the label inside the door, but the vehicle currently runs on 205/70/14. These appear rather difficult to get hold off and reading the plethora of threads here on the subject, it's a size that never gets a mention, so they may well be incorrect.

The wheels are factory fitted Toyota alloys as you can see on the image below. The closest and most oft mentioned size is the 205/70/15.

I'd appreciate any comments or advice.

Found the wheels on a Japanese website.

They ARE a 14 inch rim.

This is going to be fun sourcing those at a reasonable price.

See to be plenty on google e.g. https://www.mytyres.co.uk/search?season=&width=205&profile=70&size=14&speedRating=&priceCategory=all&brand=&searchByCarModel=true

Or am I missing something important here?

Cheers for that.

Not a website I had investigated as I had only been considering fully fitted.

Might have to go with this, then get my local garage to fit.

Cheers.... I love them as well. Only problem is that I'm missing 3 of the 4 centres.

Been trying to source them for years without success. Did find a set in Japan, but they would have cost roughly the same as a full set of alloys, so had to pass on them.

Even considered trying to get something similar manufactured, but wouldn't know where to start.

Frustrating.

In the U.S. you would be a lot better off going to a 15” wheel. I ordered a set of used steel wheel off a late model Hiace to use because it’s hard to find aftermarket wheel hear at least with such a high offset. Hers a link to what I ordered. There sold out but I’m sure there’s more available on the site with search. Also, if your interested I’m selling the mag wheels that I took of my Hiace.
