All tacoma wheels will.
Toyota made 15x7 and 16x7 wheels for these generations. Generally trucks with 16" brakes used the larger alloys as pictured about 3/4 way downt he page. Otherwise the older trucks mostly used the alloys in the 3rd post.
Your truck can use any of those wheels no issue. Its when you have newer truck (post 95.5) and want to use the 15" wheels you cant, they hit the calipers.

And also - if I were to go with newer Tacoma wheels, would I also be able to upgrade my brakes to larger ones straight off a new truck? Are they a direct swap?

Search V6 4Runner brake upgrade or something similar. The 95.5 and later brakes won't bolt on. But the pre '95 V6 4Runner had 4 large, equal size pistons in the caliper, along with heat dissipating fins cast into the caliper. Along with the 82-85-ish FJ60 Cruiser vented rotors, makes for some awesome stopping power.
Remember, I am referring to this upgrade on a SFA truck. I don't know how/what applies on an IFS front end. But I know the Tacos and Tundras have a different caliper mounting bolt pattern. With Tacos (and 3rd gen Runners), I believe a lot of folks do the Tundra big brake upgrade.

In reference to the tacoma 3 spoke alloys pictured above, are the prerunner and 4x4 wheels the exact same? Looking to buy a set for my 94 4x4 but the ones I'm looking at are off a prerunner but look the exact same.

I have to bump this old thread since it seems I can't start a new one. I never had stock wheels, I have some billet old school ARE type wheel of unknown offset. I was thinking about getting another set of wheels so I could have street and offroad tires. Found some old school wheels that are 6x139mm with 108mm center bore and 15x8.5" and et-33. I think stock wheels are around 15x7" and et8 or 13. Rough estimate should put the outer lip about 2.5" further out than stock wheels. Since I don't have stock wheels I don't have a baseline. Do the measurements sound about right for a good fit?

Pretty new here to yotatech, but this thread has all you need to know about factory wheels, compatibility between models/years, and stock tire sizes. Does it deserve a so called "sticky?" Ive seen the term many times lurking the forums ha.

Other tire options
Hi everyone, I kind of have the same question of the OP, but not entirely sure it was answered. I have a 1993 sr5 4x4 pickup with the 31x10.5x15 tires on it, is it possible to go to a different size tire without changing the rims? I'm assuming the rims on my truck are the 15x7. Thanks.

Yes you can swap sizes on those wheels (larger I'm assuming). 32x11.5 and 33x10.5 will be the biggest you can get on them. I've heard/seen someone stick a 33x12.5 and maybe even a 35x12.5 on the same wheels, but chances of finding a tire shop that will do that are pretty slim is my guess as this wheel is narrower than recommended for those sizes (supposed to be on an 8-12" wide). When I did 33x12.5 I had to get new wheels with wider width and less back spacing to clear the upper control arm, have around 3/4" gap with them installed (15x8-3.75"bs) good luck!

Wheel offset
My 92 toyota 4X4 has a set of steel 15X7 7-spoke wheels on it. tires are 225/75R15. Does anyone know what the
offset is for the steel 7-spoke wheels. The tires are right at the edge of the fender well. I'm looking at new 15X7
alloys and the offset is minus 6mm. Does enyone know where a minus 6mm offset will put the edge of the tire.
I'm not concerned about tire clearance - there is plenty of that - I just don't want the tires to project outside the
body. Thanks
