    Hey everyone! I am new to this site and just recently (about a month ago) purchased my very first tacoma! Finally got my hands on one and now I'm even more hooked than i was before. Anyways, I do not know much about wheels so i was wondering if anyone could help me out.

    Currently on almost new michelin m/s2 245/75R16

    I am looking at first getting some new wheels and then getting some more aggressive tires when these Michelins eventually wear out. Right now i can get a great deal on some Tuff T15 wheels. They are a 16X8 wheel with a +10 offset and 106mm hub. My question, however, is will they stick out past my fenders and give me a wider stance? If they are going to stick out more, then how much? I haven't found anyone rocking these wheels on any forums, but I have seen some people rocking some Tuff T01s and they seem to fit great! Any info you guys could give me would be great!
    Thanks!

    Offset being the amount of space between the center of the wheel to the mounting surface of the wheel.

    Back space is the measurement from the mounting surface of the wheel to the outer lip of the wheel on the back side.

    0mm offset would be a wheel that has a mounting point dead center of the wheel.
    + offset means the mounting surface of the wheel is closer to the face of the wheel. That will bring the tire closer to the frame. The more + offset, the less wider of a stance you will have.
    - offset would be a wheel with the mounting surface closer to the back of the wheel. A deep dish wheel. The tire will be further from the frame. These will give you a wider stance.

    1" is about 25mm. Factory wheels are right around +30mm offset.

    At +10mm you won't stick out past the fenders. 0mm will get you close to being flush, slightly past fenders, depending on tires. You have to be careful with which 16" wheels you get. There are only a few that will fit over the brake calipers. Just confirm with the supplier that they will fit or someone else that has them.

    Bolt pattern is 6x5.5 or the same as 6x139.7.
