    After hours of reading through the countless pages of wheel forums and trying to decipher the information, I've found virtually no answers to my question but uncovered loads of information that has confused me further. So I'm posting my questions in hopes that someone here can help me. I have a 2002 dbl cab 4wd trd and I'm currently running 285/75/16 on the stock alloy wheels with 1.5" wheel spacers and bilstein 5100 on the top notch. I have not measured the the BS but the stamping on the wheel says 16x7 +15. What I'm looking to do is buy new wheels to eliminate the need for wheel spacers. I like the look of the pro-comp steel wheels, but I have no idea what BS or OS I need for 16x8 wheels. IMG_20160206_094956246_HDR.jpg

    1995.5-2004 Toyota Tacoma 6-Lug Model - 2wd & 4wdFactory 16x8.0 Wheel Offset = +1.00 mm - Back Space = 4.54" Inches
    So figure in your spacer from there.I think that you want 3"of backspacing to be were you are now.

    Not sure about the newer models sorry .
    You need to read the what fits thread. I'm not sure about the offset to be honest.
    Good luck with your search.

    Well from what I read stock is 5 1/4. So you might be able to get away with the 5".
    And that dude had LR uac's also.and trimmed the mud flaps.
    You could always go to a tire shop and talk to them. Or get the 5" and get some wheel spacers just incase.

    I think that they only come in 1 or 1.5".
    Have you asked a vendor they may have or be able to get you different backspacing than what you can find.
