What size WHEELS will fit my 89 Pickup?

I restored my 89 pickup 2WD a number of years back and had my wheels painted to match the body color & installed P195/75R14 tires with a narrow whitewall.
I'd like to get a second set of wheels/rims that are chrome, but I know nothing about the size I need or what sizes my truck can accommodate.
There's a lot of cool options out there, but I don't know how to determine what will work beyond the original 14" rims.
Any advice?

You need a wheel that is 5x4.5 or 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Lots of other vehicles use that pattern so it's pretty common but you have to watch out for is the backspacing and center bore. It's been a few years but I think thats around 3.5" to 4" of backspace and a bore of 61mm.
You can probably Google a wheel calculator to see what that needs to be because I can't remember what it is right now. I know a lot of guys used to run older Ford Ranger and Crown Victoria and Jeep wheels and they worked.

Thanks--I contacted Coker (a friend of mine gets his tires for his '71 Caddy from them). I was surprised when they told me they do not carry any 14" wheels and only a few tires that fit those rims. Are these sizes particular just to Toyota or unusual in some way?

Probably because no one has used them in 30 years so they aren’t made anymore.

If you go on Discount Tires website, they show 12 tire listing for 195/75-14 right now. Im not sure why you'd go with a Coker tire when there are better and cheaper options out there.
Also not sure why you'd stick to the 14" wheels. 14s are unusual because they haven't been used on a new car for a long time. 15" will have a bigger tire selection and you will find wheels way easier but even they are not really used on newer cars anymore so tires are not as common as a 16 or 17

Thanks for you input! It's not so much that I WANT to stick with 14" wheels, it's just that I don't know what's "doable". I've only used stock wheels in the past and not sure what sizes I CAN use. And I have heard that different sizes can change your speedometer readings, etc. In all truthfulness, doing anything with wheels is new ground for me. The main reason I looked at Coker is on the recommendation of my neighbor who buys his wide whitewalls from them and I was looking for a narrow whitewall or a redline & he said they carry them.
