    I am pretty sure jeep wheels will not work on your taco.

    you should look up the bolt pattern for your truck and then buy wheels based on that.

    you'd be bummed, and would have wasted your time by buying something you "think" fits. aka, not all 5-lug wheels have the same bolt pattern.

    good luck!

    yes they will fit...
    however the bolt pattern is different, you have to buy spacer/adapters to put them on your taco


    actually i just checked your bolt pattern and it is the same (5 x 4.5) as the older jeeps
    the newer jeeps have 5x5 pattern

    Yes Jeep wheels will fit.I run them on my 5 lug. Bolt pattern 5x4.5. Had to do a little grinding on the caliper mount. If you are not comfortable grinding install 1/4 inch spacers.
    If you run the taller tires you will have to remove the black boxes. They are located under the back of the inner fender cover. Cut the cover and remove 3 bolts.

    the jeeps before the current body style fit for sure bolt pattern wise. But something i didnt see mentioned on here is the back space is usually somewhat large for large tires on our tacos so if your running large tires u may want a smaller backspace which is what drove me away from them

    i've also been looking at jeep rims (mainly because they are cheap) and the bolt pattern on the older jeeps are fine. a big issue i'm worried about is the center bore of the tacos are big compared to most rims... and i'm not sure if the jeep rims would accommodate that big ass bore size.

    I have Jeep rims on my daughters 01. The center's fit by about 1/32 all the way around. But I don't know about 2000 and below. Here's a pic of the back ram Jeep logo and all.IMG_20200107_154531.jpg

    My neighbor got a "fix it ticket" because his 35's stuck out too far on his jeep. I let him borrow the wheels and tires off my 5 lug taco so he could show a cop and have the ticket written off. They fit fine (5 lug). This was 20 years ago, things my have changed.

    Had a bent rim and I had those in the garage with newish tires. I knew that would upset somebody but they actually look okay on the truckIMG_20200107_154617.jpg

    Lol there's trolls amongst us everywhere here on TW. Wouldn't take what he said to heart. IMO when I go bigger tires I might get some used ones on a set of Jeep rims if they're available. Most economically wise choice in that regard

    No big deal, I thought it might upset the purists. Actually I was wondering when someone would notice on the site. Around here the step bed draws them in as they get closer they notice the Jeep logo and start ranting about why it's sacrilegious. So I've gotten used to it. I'm about to start working on it and getting it ready to give to my daughter for her first car. The rims are temporary she wants to put aftermarkets on it anyway after it's painted.

    I put 5x5 265/70 r17 tires and wheels from a jeep using 5x4.5 to 5x5 1 inch spacers and the tires line up perfectly with the lines of the truck, but the black box had to come out.thumbnail.jpg
