    I had a quick question regarding these wheels, I have the Stock 16inch steel wheel that the base model Tacoma's have. Will my TPMS Sensor be able to swap over no problem? I realize I need rebuild kits. If these wont work with my sensors, will the lvl 8 Guardians work?

    The factory steel wheels utilize a 40 degree sensor where alloy wheels utilize a 20 degree sensor. You'll either have to purchase new sensors or run your factory sensors on a band and bracket system (straps the sensor to the barrel of the wheel). We sell the 20 degree sensors for $59.00 each and the band and bracket kit for $44.00 (covers all 4 wheels).

    On the bright side, your Tacoma will look great with either of those Level 8 wheels :cool:

    So I am looking to pick up a set of these in September or October but here is my dilemma. I am currently running 100% stock, 265/70/16 RuggedTrails. I want to get the 16x8s but am having a hard time with the offset. I would like to go -10 for the slightly wider stance but want to upgrade to 265/75/16 tires a little later down the road. Do you think the -10s will make the larger tires rub? I'm not opposed to a little trimming.

    Thanks

    The 16x8 ET-10 MK6 mounted with 265/75-16 tires will rub slightly near full turn on stock suspension. Some trimming of the fenders will clear that up though.

    What offset did you go with 0 or -10?
    Did you consider the Grey Wheels to match the truck
