    Hey guys, this is my first time posting here. Looking for some help. I have an 09 Taco, it used to have 265/70r16, currently runs 265/75r16. I bought some used wheels that are 32x11.5r15. I want to throw these new wheels on and am going to replace the tires on the 15in rims. Truck has about 162,000 miles, so i was thinking about overhauling the suspension anyways, possibly putting a small lift on the truck. I'm already hitting 11.5mpg with all the stuff I carry, so I don't want to lose much more. Other than that, I have no idea where to go from here. I'm not sure what parts to buy or tire size to run. Any help is greatly appreciated!IMG_20220410_190053.jpg 20221002_114849.jpg

    Most people report issues trying to fit 15” wheels. They rub the brake calipers

    Also you get 11.5mpg?? What are you hauling?

    Welp, that's a shame. Thank God I only got them for a $100 lol. Let's see if I can flip them.

    I'm a construction superintendent. I have a drawer system I threw together that has my power tools, hand tools, and job files. Built it out of 2x12s and 3/4" Advantech. Probably way over built. Everything together weighs at least 500 lbs, if not more. I installed rear airbags as well20221002_173147.jpg
