1985 wheels ?

I got my 4runner form the original owner not to long ago and he said that he didnt change anything. but, i have noticed that no one else has wheels like mine and i read that toyota only put 28's and 31's on 4runners and i have 30's. i have 3 questions:

What is the stock tire size for an 85?

are these stock wheels, did toyota even make these?

if they arent stock, then where can i find out who makes them? just so i know

Dealer could have put anything on there. Check the d-side door jamb plate.

Those look like the stock chrome wheels, aside from the color:

The wheels are stock, the tires probably are not.
28 inch and 31 inch refers to tire size. Wheel size would be 15x6 or similar.

And I'm pretty sure the stock tire size was 225 75 R15. I think 30x9.50 is a good compromise between keeping it fairly stock feeling and acting, and getting a bigger, better looking tire on. I just switched from 31x10.50 to 30x9.50, and in my opinion it looks and feels much better.
