2000 2.4L tiny boi - Wheel/Tire Options (please)

First of all, I tried friends, I tired searching through all of the threads and posts and googles and bings and chatGPTs, but I just can't seem to find a straight answer.

I have a 2000 Tacoma, 2.4L, 2wd, 5MT, as base as it gets (no clock even). I'm pretty sick of the stock 195/75-R14 look. I'd like to either (1) upgrade tires or (2) upgrade wheels and tires.

My questions are:

1. What are the largest tires that fit on the stock wheels (and a shop will actually mount)? Is there an all terrain option available in said largest size?

2. What wheel options do I have that do not stick out beyond the fenders (not a stance guy, more function) without modifying suspension, rolling fenders, etc?

Really appreciate the communities help here. Picture attached.

 

Assuming 5 lug?

from 2weeks of searching
Think you can get stock 15inch with 265’s without lift possibility of some rubbing. Search deeper, there are cures

myself,
Couldn’t afford the few used Tacoma rims in my area…..crunched hub/off set numbers….even went to Discount Tire to confirm fitment

You can also run a larger rim size with a smaller tire size. Im running 17s on 60 series Yokahama's (still got love for the streets). They are flush with the body.

 

This is so cleeeeeeeeeeeean

 

Nice, what kind of wheels are those? Size?

 

what are you trying to accomplish with new wheels and tires? When you say "upgrade", are you looking for more ground clearance to go off roading or lower profile for better handling? Or just something to replace the stock 14s with something that has more tire options?

If performance and gas mileage matters to you, here's my two cents: Keep the overall tire height/diameter the same (which according to the TW tire size calc is 25.5" based on the 195/75r14 you gave) and keep an eye on the weight of whatever wheels and tires you go with.

I have 16" Hyundai Sonata wheels and some cheapo tires that are like 0.3" taller than stock and I lost probably 4-5 mpgs. And I can feel that it's slower too. Not a huge amount, but I noticed it. yes, the slight difference in diameter had some impact but the I think the biggest difference is the added weight of the new wheel/tire combo. I can't remember now what the difference was but it added something like 10-12 lbs per wheel. Maybe more.

 

my nephew had a set of 235/75 15s on his for a while he grabbed from my shop.

also they are 5x4.5/5x4114.3 so lots of wheel and tire options.

 

your threads/pix helped me tremendously thanks man

 

awesome, happy to hear that! I'm by no means an expert on anything but have plenty of experience to share!
