    Alright. This is my first post, this is my first truck, and Im new to all of this, so dont bash. Truck: 98 PreRunner with 31x10.5s and the original 15x7 alloys already.
    So heres the thing. Im getting a new set of tires and wheels, and im wondering if anything will rub. I plan on getting 31x10.5 BFG ko2 and Method Race Wheels (Double Standard, Machine Street Loc) *i know. not real beadlocks.* The Dimensions for the Rims are limited. They are 15x8, have a bolt pattern of 5x4.5, and an offset/backspacing of -24/3.5"
    I do a bit of offroading. Super soft sand, dirt, mud, and possibly snow in the future. So I need 0 rub anywhere and everywhere. Im not trying to spend a little over a grand for new shoes and have something go wrong. Id appreciate it 100% times a billion if someone could try to help me out. Thanks.

    Is your Tacoma a 5 lug or a 6 lug?

    PreRunner Tacoma's are all 6 lug, so those particular wheels (5x4.5) will not work.

    That being said, if you can get those wheels in a 6x5.5 bolt pattern you should not rub, it will just bump the wheels out a bit due to the lower backspacing.

    That's a low backspacing, but with that size I can't see you having fender rubbing issues. Just make sure you get the correct bolt pattern. 6 x 139.7

    Yeah my bad. Its a six lug. I posted the wheel specs of the wrong one. Everything is the same except the bolt pattern is 6x5.5. So youre saying it will fit with no rub? How far do you think the wheels will stick out?

    CHPTR 11 said that 6x5.5 would fit.
    But you say 6x139.7
    soooo.... who is right?

    When i worked at a tire shop as a youngster, we always tested fitment of tires/wheels when they were non stock sizes. Any good shop should do this. You can ask the shop if they do that before you drop your hard earned money on new kicks.. Ask them if they could mount the wheel/tire combo before you purchase them. What's the worst thing they can say? NO? Call around to multiple shops too..

    Yeah you'll be okay running a 10.50 with a 3.50" BS... I run 12.50's with 3.50" BS and they stick out past the FLARES maybe 1.5" or less, so running a 10.50" should be bout perfect as far as sticking out past the fender or the flares if you have em.
