wheel question?

I found some wheels i like but i dont quite understand all the sizes. I have an 02 4Runner sport with stock rims and 265/75/16 BFG all terrains. Which size from the link do i need to order?

http://www.4wheelonline.com/Products...oductId=127570

also any input on these wheels is good too, I would assume anything from pro comp would be good quality. 90% of my driving is on road (i live in suburban new york) and any off roading i do definitely doesn't involve rock crawling btw. thanks guys

your stock wheels are 16x7, on a 8" rims u usually run a 275 not a 265 so i don't know if a 265 will fit and if so, if it will look funny.

I'm running 265/75s on 16x8 wheels...they look fine to me. It's the equiv of a 32x10.50. The diff in width between a 265 & 275 is neglible.

So you're basically looking for pretty much an on-road set of wheels? I don't know how they would look on 3rd Gens, but those 18" rims on the 4th Gen Limiteds really look good. I think 18's are a good-sized street wheels without looking like a ghetto-thugged out SUV rolling 23's.

The 275/70s on 16x8 wheels should be a good bit wider than stock 265/70s on 16x7 wheels, but more so b/c of the wider new rim than the new tire. Yes, the 275s will magnify the difference, but they are not the sole culprit for causing the difference to look so noticable.

A combination of both larger rim and tire cause them to be wider, but I believe the rim is causing more of the stance than the tire alone. I'd say the rim is causing about 70% of the wider stance and the tire makes up the remaining 30% (Just guessing here).

For compairing tire sizes, check out this model:

And here's another good one too:

For pics of my current 265/75s on 16x8 wheels vs my old 265/70s on 16x7 wheels, check out my Install thread. Plenty of before and after pics here:

im not trying to get new tires, my BFGs are a couple months old. i just want to know if those wheels (16x8 with 6-5.5 bolt circle) will fit on my truck with the tires i already have.

Gotcha. I actually like the 02 wheels. But if you must get new wheels in 16's, I really like the OEM offerings. 99-00 5-star's or FJ80 LC's.
