    Hello Everyone,
    First post ive made. I bought a brand new tacoma 3 weeks ago loving it so far. It has the stock steel wheels, with the junk dunflops. I have been looking all over, and have found some of the aluminum rims from the 2014 tacomas in 16x7. Im wanting to stay with the 245/75/16 tires although i will upgrade this fall to some michelin ltx ms/2s.
    Well my question for you professionals is will the aluminum rims bring my tires out to be flush, or closer to flush with my fender flares than my current steelies?

    I don't think there's a difference in offset. I removed my fender flares and now my stock steelies are flush with the fenders. Wish I could find another set of the stock steel rims.

    Awsome and thanks Jimbo Anz looks great id love to go with a bigger tire but i went to the tacoma from a silverado to get better mpgs. I might have to get a set of the aluminum rims. Ive tried to read but have found mixed opinons any idea if the tpms can be used from the steel wheels for the aluminum.
    58 Siesta if i do get some rims i can hook you up with some stock steelies for cheap.
