One problem related to wheel rim has been reported for the 1997 Toyota Tacoma. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Center hole in stamped steel rim is too small to properly fit over center hub. Tightening the lug nuts will effect a "press fit" over the hub, making it virtually impossible to remove the front wheel in the event of a flat tire, etc. Road service truck driver unable to remove wheel. Truck driver had to haul truck on flatbed to a garage where an impact hammer had to be used to remove the wheel from the hub. This is a potentially dangerous situation when a driver cannot change a tire, and must resort to towing to a garage for what should be an easily performed task.
