I did a search but no straight out answer.
Will 16" rims from a newer Taco or 4runner fit on my 88 pu? Also what size will be close to 33's.
I have a 3" BL and clear 33's no problem now.
Thanks for all answer's ahead of time.

 

yep; they'll fit. BE SURE you get the new lug nuts if they are alloy wheels; the old self-centering DO NO work with alloy rims!

Don't know what size you'll want....

 

i have 16's on my 86, 285/75/18 is roughly a 33

 

You ment 285/75/16 not /18 right. LOL
Thank you for the help/info.

 

They will fit fine with any lift over 2", body or suspension. Just make sure to get the OEM lugnuts.

 

or a 265/80/16. i have 265/75/16 and they are the same as a 32"

 

yep, sorry typo

 

thank you all

 

The thing I don't like about the 16" Toyota factory wheels is that they have a lot of back spacing, like 4-3/8"! In other words, they keep your track narrow and your wheels under the truck. This is especially bad if you are running a toyota solid front axle SAS. I'd rather have some less costly steel wheels with 2" or 3" back spacing. Of course you could run wheel spacers of 1/1/2" or 2" with your Tacoma/4runner alloys.

Then there is the question of which tires to run. Yes there are 16" tires that will fit, but many are made for much heavier trucks. For example, a tire 285 x 75 x 16 is about 33" tall and slightly narrower than a 33 x 12.50". Unfortunately, in that size almost all tires have a load range "E" rating. In other words they are made to run with the air pressure at 80 psi so they can carry 3000 lbs (per tire). These tires are made with extra cords and more rubber so the can be used on 3/4 and 1 ton pickups. Each tire weighs about 8 lbs more than a load range "C" of a similar size. What this means for you is that you will have to pay a lot more for a tire that will have a rough ride, reduce your gas mileage and wear out your front end faster. There are 265 x 75 x 16 tires that are the equivalent of a 32 x 10.50 x 16 that are available in load range "C". These would be a good choice. A lot of SUV's and pickups run these tires from the factory. I run Michelin LTX AT2's in 265 x 75 x 16 on my '93 Toyota xtra cab 4x4 work truck. I have never had a better tire than these Michelin LTX for a street driven tire with "all-terrain" capabilities (they are very good on snow packed roads). Unfortunately Michelin doesn't make 33 and 35" tires for 15 or 16" wheels. -- Matt

 

hey tomwat3r, whats the backspacing on your 16in rims? prolly gonna do the same set up so am looking for a 16 in rim with the proper bs. thnx

 

As stated above, stick to the C rated tires!!! ie: 15in rims!!! Lighter and will air down much nicer.
My current set of street tires are 275/75/16s D rated and believe me they suck, in more ways than one. Bad enough driving around on pavement let alone off-road with those.

 

I'll toss my $0.02 out here.. I think the 15" alloy rims look nicer on the older pickups/4runners anyway.
