Newbie Help: Wheels & Tires

Hi friends. I have a 2014 Tacoma TRD Sport, Double Cab, 4x4, manual. I love her and am finally pulling the trigger on getting cooler wheels.

I know exactly what I want: MT Sidebiter II Matte Black wheels, but not exactly sure how to make sure I get the right ones (sizes etc).

Things I'm trying to figure out:
- what size do i get? my current truck has the oem 17 inch - do i stick with that?
- do i order them online and bring them to a tire shop? or do I go to a local place and have them do it all?
- on the MT site there are so many different versions for the same wheel and size, how do I know?
- do all tires fit on basically all wheels?

I am currently in Tampa Florida, so if there is a place locally I can just go to, that might be ideal. Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

 

Welcome! I’m no expert on wheels, but I will try to help as much as I can. As far as size goes, you can get whatever size you want above 16” as long as you run the right size tire. If you want to stay with 17” you can stay with the factory tire size or go up to 265/70/17 if you want something a little taller. You can certainly check around with local tire shops to see if they can order for you, or you can order online and have them mounted locally. If you order them yourself, do your research to make sure you are getting the right wheel as far as lug pattern, offset, and backspacing. The information you need is all on this forum in the wheels and tires section.
