Change the rims?

I have a 1999 4runner SR5 2wd and at the moment have 265/10.5/15 size tires. The rims I am running are 15x10.5 Mickey Thompson Classic Locks. I am heading off to college next year and probably won't have/take the time to constantly clean and polish the MT's. If I switch back to the stock 15x?? wheels, 1) Will the tires fit ok? 2) Will I lose the amount the tire sticks out?

Thanks

Pretty confusing there...

Should you run 10.5" wide tires on a 10.5" wide rim??? Is that what you are asking? If so... NO!

duh... ok I get the question now... To answer #2, yes you will lose the amount it sticks out. I would estimate it to sit well over 2" more in.

Thanks for the reply. Do you guys have any suggestions for wheels that are the same size as my current mickey thompsons but will not rust?

Thanks again
