    I am new to the truck scene. I just picked up a 1997 Base Tacoma 2x4. The first few major mods I want to make are: Wheels, Tires and Lift kit.

    For wheels I was thinking 15x8 5x4.5 steel. Tires I was thinking something around the 33" and under range and for lift kit I was thinking 3".

    Can someone help me with products that are compatible with my truck? I've seem to have been running around in circles online all day at work trying to find things that will fit.

    I will be using my truck as a daily and hitting the occasional trail on the weekends. I can't afford to spend a mass amount of money so sticking to the cheaper side of things would be beneficial but not necessarily required. I want my truck to preform well but not make me go in debt.

    Any help, advice and pointers would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you :)
