2001-07 Toyota Sequoia Wheel, Tire & Suspension Fitment Guide
If you own or are in the market for a first-generation Toyota Sequoia, produced between the 2001 and 2007 model years, let us be the first to welcome you to our vibrant, growing community of off-road enthusiasts at TrailBuilt Off-Road. We love helping our friends build their prized vehicles just the way they want, ready to tackle the trails ahead with all the functions you'd expect while, of course, looking great as well.
The first-gen Sequoia represents an interesting hinge point in Toyota's history, as it can be considered the brand's first real foray into the full-size SUV market. This makes it a fully capable off-roader as well as commuter, so if you have one, it's got plenty to offer. Let's dive in below and see what fits!
Stock Wheel & Tire Fitment On The First-Generation (2001-07) Toyota Sequoia
The Sequoia's stock wheel sizes are emblematic of most early-2000s SUVs, as it came with 16x7 wheels off the lot, wrapped in tires that went as large as 265/70R16 - that's around 31x10 in imperial units. The first-gen Sequoia, as with most of the Toyota lineup, also featured a 6x139.7mm bolt pattern, so when you're looking for wheels to fit, make sure they're compatible with this size or you'll be needing an adapter.
Most of the aftermarket builds we see for these Sequoia years will stick to a 17x9 wheel and a 35-inch tire, along with a lift kit around three to four inches high. This should be more than good enough for you to get enough power output and ground clearance on the trails.
