    Okay so finally getting the truck lifted. I want to be able to fit 32x11.50 tires on my 15 inch rims. I'm gonna get the Bilstein 5100 adjustable shocks to give me a 2.5 inch lift and a block in the back. The only question I have is about the rims. My tacoma is a 2000 V6 4x4 fully stock. I plan on getting new rims but I'm not sure what kind to get. I don't really understand the backspacing so I was hoping someone who had a similar truck could speak up and tell what rims they got and the specs on them that will work on my truck. I'm sure this topic has been beat to death and I apologize for that.

    A lift, some wheels, some tires, some performance, some cosmetic and then audio.
    I suggest 4" or less. Less backspacing pushes the wheels out more especially if you want to run 11.50 wide tires to clear the UCA. I think stock is 4.5" so ideally 4" or less will be best.

    I have and 04 and I run 33x12.50x15s and I don't have any wheel spacers or anything like that and I'd go with 4" if I were you.

    So I'm looking at some Mickey Thompson rims I really like.

    Rim=15X8 Bolt Pattern=6 X 5.5 Backspacing=3 5/8 Offset=-22
    Weight Capacity=2,000

    Does that sound right?

    Btw they don't have a 4" backspacing for this particular rim.. will that make a difference?

    That'll just mean the wheels will stick out a tad bit more than 4". You should be fine.

    Okay decided I'm gonna go with new aal's instead of the block. Which aal's are the best? My truck is perfectly level right now. My front lift will be 2.5" so I need 2.5" aal's in the back right?
