    Hello everyone!

    I'm hoping that someone can lend me some aid. So I have a 2008 Tacoma and I want to be able to put 285/75r17 (or 16inches not sure yet) tires on it. I'm in the midst of purchasing rims, but I just want to make sure I buy the right ones. I'm looking at the American Racing Baja's. If I purchase W20271 size:16x8 PCD6x139.7 Offset 0 Bore 108will they fit?

    Any advice or help that I can get would be greatly appreciated! If you have a similar set up please share some photos.

    Thanks!

    The wheels will fit. The tires won’t work unless ypur lifted and plan on trimming some stuff. The tire size you mentioned is approx. 34” tall. You’ll will also want to get some hub bore rings to fill the gap at the hub since the recommended hub bore is 106.1. Also depending on wheel design sometimes they may rub the calipers if you go with a 16”.

    Awesome! Thanks for the help. Yep, I installed a three-inch leveling kit in it. So, should I go for a 17-inch rim?

    Usually more sizes to choose from for tires in a 17. To run the 285/75/17 you are gonna need UCAs. Trim some fender and do a cmc.
