I have that setup on my 2000 4wd and it looks sweet. It sits a little higher and looks tougher than the runners with the smaller rims and tires.

dont waste your money on those rims and tires. get the seq or tundra wheels (17's) in the the graphite finish and new tires. bam looks 100x better

I have the same setup on my 2002 2WD. It fits fine. You can even upgrade to 265/75/16's if you want, they'll fit fine.

There's quite a few for sale on YT.

Keep in mind your vehicle may be a bit more sluggish because of the OEM gearing for the smaller wheels.

Yup and the smaller brakes may be not as high performing as the brakes that came w/ the stock 16" wheels...
