    Okay so I save some money for rims keep in mind I must keeps stock 16x8 size to keep stock tires so the guy says "you can't fit a 16x8 because of the calipers " so I went home did some research and found wheel spacers! Is this a pretty good way to get around buying new tires because mine Are still brand new

    Do they still make kids write papers in high school?

    Whoever you were talking to about wheels, don't talk to him again.

    Man, kids are spoiled these days. Only 16 and you have a new Tacoma 4x4. All I had at 16 was a used bicycle. :mad:

    And you want to screw it up already? Enjoy it in its stock condition and learn more about wheels, backspacing, punctuation, etc, before you wrap it around a tree :rolleyes:

    Hint : wheel spacers are a real bad idea.

    He's trying to make you buy both tires and wheels. All you need is 16" wheels with the right Back Spacing and Offset.

    Go to some place else because this wheel guy is an asshole or idiot or both.
