Want to Replace 2000 Tacoma Prerunner Special Enkei Wheels and Tires

    Hello,

    First-timer - be gentle! For the life of me I cannot figure out wheels and tires with the offsets and bolt patterns, etc. We have a 2000 Tacoma prerunner and it came with special selection alloy Enkei wheels and Michelin all-terrain tires (31X10.5R15 109S RWL) which we replaced with BF Goodrich T/A KO2. We bought this vehicle new in Raleigh, NC and I understand these wheels are special to this area and hard to find. With these Enkei wheels, we have lost so many center caps as well. We used to order them from the dealer but of course they stopped selling them. Tired of replacing them but also dislike the void.

    One shop guy said the reason our tires are losing air when it gets colder is the rims are not seating properly due to corrosion. The tires are ready to be replaced. The wheels are tired. So we are ready to get new wheels and tires (although our frame is severely corroded - another story with missing the extended warranty on that...). We love the look of this truck with the AT tires but want to maybe go to 16" from 15". I don't know how to select new wheels and tires that will be similar but larger yet not require any additional adjustments to fit them. When I enter our information, many sites come up with the factory sizing which is not what we have now.

    We want to remain economical because of the frame issue but at 170K miles this truck still has life as our 3rd standby vehicle. Can someone advise what I should search for in wheel? Is there a good online site to order a wheel/tire package for delivery? IMG_2220.jpg

    Really appreciate the expertise I've seen on this forum so thank you.

    Welcome to the forum. The size tire that is equal to a 31X10.50R15 in a 16 inch size will be 265/70R16 or slightly taller would be 265/75R16. For mail order, you could check out Tire Rack. They would have many options for wheels and tires. If there is a Discount Tire location near you, even better, they can be of assistance as well. Wheels will be 16X8 6-139.7(6-5.5) 0mm offset.
