good for you

 

Im new hear so forgive me if this is off subject. Im looking at some tires an Rims (Wheels) for my 2001 Tacoma PreRunner. I want my tires to stick out from the body to give it that mean stance. i have 16 inch stock wheels on it. Im wanting to put Dick Cepek DC-2s on it. What would be a good tire size to acomplish that with out break9ing my wallet. All answers are apreciated. Thanks

 

Try to post your question here for better visability: http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/

But to answer your question: Not sure what rim but weel spacers are a cheap way of getting your rims to stick out. the 1.25" spacers will make your wheels flush with your stock wheel fenders and looks good.

For DC-II's, the biggest you can get on stock suspension I believe is 265/75 R-16. As for price, you got me. As for the tire, I hear its a good tire but horrible warranty .

Hope this helps and good luck.

 

Finally did the deck plate mod yesterday. Still waiting to see if it actually improves gas milage but for the time being it is a pretty sweet noisemaker. Especially at high RPMs.

 

Does anyone know the diameter of the exhaust piping on an 02 pre runner? I'm trying to get a new muffler.

 

I believe its 2.25 (60% sure) but it might be 2.5 (%40 sure) . You wont be getting much help in this topic. Try making a new one out in the 1st gen forums or doing a quick search. Good luck.

 

It was 2.25 thanks for the help. Borla muffler sounds pretty darn good too

 

Worth adding to the list? I'm doing a similar DIY for a low-cost headlight mod next.
