Looking to make my 96 tacoma more aggressive.

Hey guys I recently was given an old 1996 2wd Tacoma from my grandparents with only 115,000 miles. I won't be using it to off road just mainly to commute/daily drive.

Its currently at stock height which is pretty damn low, has 195/75/15 tires that need to be replaced. I want the car to sit higher and have a more aggressive tire/rim setup but I don't have a ton of money to blow on a lift kit. So I was reading around and found these strut spacers that can lift the car 2 1/2 inches which is pretty good for the price. Then maybe I could find some used wheels on craigslist like a 245/75/17 combo?
Its just hard to find a 5 lug nut setup everything I find is 6lugnuts.

Any info or advice would be helpful thanks.

 

You could get a set of 31x10.5x15 tires to go with the strut spacers, that way you can use your old rims and just paint them for a different look.

 

be aware your speedometer wont show correct speed after all this (you will be going a lot faster then it says you are) unless you recalibrate to find the one you need and replace the speedometer gear

 

Most jeep rims will fit a 5 lug taco. Coat of paint/plasti dip and you're good to go. Probly find them cheap on craigslist. Also most mustang and BMW wheels will fit.

5 Luggers aren't easy to lift for cheap. You can do a .75" spacer lift for around $100 but anything higher than that you'll probly be looking at $300-$500 min.

Anyway good luck!
