    I was given these wheels and tires off a newer Tacoma and want to know if they will fit on my 2000 Tacoma Prerunner. They only have 8,000 miles on them so it's worth finding out. Both are 6 lug but I'm not sure these rims will fit the center hub. The tires on them are the stock newer size 245/75R/16. The tires should be fine since they are 30.5"x9.7" as opposed to the stock 265/70R/16 at 30.6"x10.4". So the tires would be .7" narrower to hopefully compensate a little for the offset. It's the center hole having the extra meat around the lug area that concerns me. Has anyone put these on a 2000 generation Tacoma and if so, was there any fitment issues?

    Here is a pic of one of them.

    Super easy to paint. O used a scotch green scrubby to scuff the existing clear coat and paint. Then got all the dust from that off, I used compressed air, but you can use soap n water as well. Then lightly rubbed with acetone once they were dry. Then light coatings of paint. I would wait 30 min in between each coat and let them completely dry over night. I used black BBQ grill paint cuz I had it.
