3rdGen 16” wheels

I️ was looking to buy tires for the taco I️ wanted to buy the tires first and upgrade the wheels later but I️ was told that you can’t use 16” aftermarket wheels on the Tacoma is that true, or are they just wanting me to buy 17s ?

 

Who is 'they'?

Not true I've seen 16x8 scs with 285s on a lift, absolutely badass

 

You can use 16's or 17's or even 18's.

 

4Wheelparts is having a deal on the Ko’s but they said you can’t use an aftermarket 16 on the 3ed Gen

 

I have a 16 x 8 helo on mine, but My truck came with stock 16 x 7 alloys.
Edit. What is on your truck now???

 

16x7!!!! That’s why I️ was trying to figure out what they were talking about

 

Only issue would be trying to stick a 285 on it. A little skinny for that but can be done.

My buddy put it on his stick 16s with just the 5100 3” lift but he had to add a 1” wheel spacer and it still rubs when he turns and hits a bump. What everyone’s thoughts on running wheels spacers safe or not?

 

There are plenty of 16" wheels out there in the market that will fit your Tacoma. 4 Wheel Parts owns Pro Comp wheels so not all of their 16" wheels will clear the Tacoma's caliper. The sales guy probably doesn't know much about Tacoma or was too lazy to cross reference actual fitment.

 

16’s
