    Hello All!
    Newbie-here. Just bought a 2013 access cab 2WD with 5 lug nut wheels. I've named my truck Marilyn (after Marilyn Monroe).
    She needs bigger wheels. I'm thinking 16" wheels with 6 lug nut pattern. Please help.

    Hate to break it to ya, if you have a 5 lug truck you need to stick with 5 lug wheels. The wheels from a 6 lug truck will not fit.

    Went by 4 wheel parts and performance today. Asked about lift kits and forgot to ask about rims with 5 lugs. I did see on you-tube a guy with a wheel adapter 5 lug to 6 lug. I need to keep it simple and try not to spend too much money. Any and all ideas are appreciated

    Hey so I got your comment on tire size and the lift.
    First question, what would you like to do with you truck? Is the lift and wheels/tire for look or off-roading or performance? What would you like to get from it all?

    I just want to improve the appearance mainly. Here in Florida don't plan on doing any off-roading.
    I will get a tow hitch for light towing

    Gotcha.
    So on the 6lug tacos 265/75-16 fits like a glove but on a 5 lug you're going to have a lot of work ahead of you to make that fit.
    Most of the 5lug guys go with a 235/70-16, you'll need to look in your wheel well until you find the "black box" it's a square thing of plastic you need to cut and unbolt for clearance for a bigger tire.
