    Hello, I just bought a 1999 Tacoma and this is my first post on TW. I am wondering if I can put 15" wheels on my stock 2wd 1999 Tacoma? I know it would throw off my speedometer. Any other issues I should be aware of. I just want larger rims/tires so it looks and feels more like a truck but I know the 2wd is quite lower so not sure if this is possible without a lift. Thanks

    FYI - rim size wont throw off speedometer, overall tire size will. If your original tires were 215/70-R14 and you went with 215/65-R15 for the new tires, there is less then 1% difference which won't change anything. At 80 mph, the speedometer will be off by only 1/2 mph.
