I don't mean to hijack your thread but I have a 92 runner that as far as I know came with 15" rims and 235/75/15 tires at least that is the way I got it. The rims are aftermarket rims but the spare is a 15" and looks new. I have some wheels from a 2000 or 01 Taco xcab and they are 16". Does anyone know if that will work out fine and what size and brand tire options would I have with my stock body height? They appear to be the same width there are no tires on the rims and they measure 8" across. What I am looking for are dual use tires for street and light to moderate trail use. They are six lug wheels but I haven't tried them on yet cause I have to at least mount a used tire on one or two of the rims to see what's up and I don't wanna do that if someone can tell me. Thanks in advance.

Thanks AMGraham, I guess I will clean them up and get them wrapped. 31s will be cool. I don't do a lot of crazy trail riding but there is one near here that I like to do through some hunting clubs that is 12 miles long next to a river with a lot of up and down but usually passable to most 4x4 with modest clearance. Right now I haven't had a clearance issue since I replaced my springs but you never know what the next rain will bring. And as an added bonus no cell phone reception better have a nice CB, (which I don't).
I have the truck with manual if I need to pull out the Runner though. If my 340 ever goes out i have a manual and flywheel etc. to swap in so I can take my time with my own personal trans.

From my experience, buying the same tire for a 16 inch rim versus a 15 inch rim costs you about $20 more per tire. For instance, if I was buying a 33" tire for my 16 inch rim, it would cost me around $99 per tire. If I were buying a 33" tire for my 15 inch rim, it would be closer to $79. I personally still have 16 inch rims on my 01 Tacoma, but I plan on switching them out next summer when I get out of my junior year of college.
Hope this helps.

Yeah thanks guys. I already checked out cutting the center of the front caps but what about the back do they work out ok? Thanks for the help I guess I will take my rims and drop them off at a tire shop.

The back caps work fine. My set only came with 2 caps so I don't even have any on the front. It doesn't look too bad though. Be sure to post some pics when you get them on!

Yeah if I can figure out how to get the pics out of my razor phone! I will post some pics soon i though I had some in my computer but they must have been thrown out. It will be a couple of weeks on my tires anyway, bills, wife, kid you name it. Thanks for all the help.

they will fit because i have the trd ivan stewart wheels on my 93 and have a set of stock steels off a tundra for off roading, both are 16x8. the trd's i had to have the hub centers board out to clear the lockouts.

Here's a pic of newer taco rims on a 1993. For the front center caps, there is a step in the plastic I guess to add looks, I cut where this step was and they fit perfectly.
