New 02 Tacoma owner. Need advice

I just bought this 02 5 lug with 37K miles on it. It will be a daily driver for short commute. And I’m looking for advice on what to do exactly. I would like to get new wheels and tires to fill up the fender space but want to keep the suspension stock. I’m thinking 235 75r 16 with new alloys, (lighter to help compensate for the larger diameter with respect to acceleration and braking performance ) I think I would like a wider stance by an inch or two with fender flares, but not sure. Oh and it needs new shocks. It handles like your driving a boat.

Thoughts, pictures, any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

Its a 5 lug. I wouldn't do anything to it, just drive it

 

I’m not completely sure for the earlier 5 lugs but bilstien 4600’s on 2nd gens make it handle so much better than stock.

Im on 235s and it rides super nice. Theres some good options to look thru in his build

 

Did you modify your suspension at all to get the 235s to work. Do they rub at all. And are they 235 75r 16s?
Thank you

 

I have the same 15 inch steelie as u. No lift kit to the truck its stock. And nah no real rubbing 235/75/15

 

I would say get a body lift if you dont plan on doing any off road stuff. the 5 lugs are pretty low to begin with, so a 2.5 body lift still doesnt bring it up to 6 lug height (at least for first gens). That being said, keeping the 5 lug stock will probably meet all your daily driver needs and still let you have that sweet sweet pickup bed.
