    I am considering buying these wheels.

    Anyone else have them, or any other rim with the same -13mm offset and 4.00 back spacing with pics to share?

    Also I currently have 16 inch 2020 Tacoma rims and tires. Anyone know the width of the 2020 Tacoma rims. The ones posted are 8inch wide. Not sure if my current tire will fit.

    Your current wheel size should be embossed on the wheel. Likey on the inside somewhere

    I don't have those wheels but do run a 16x8 wheel with 4" back spacing. IMO it is the perfect backspacing when using a larger than stock tire. I run 285 75 16's on them.

    Care to share a photo?

    Also what exactly is the difference between offset and back spacing?

    I currently have stock suspension no leveling kit with a 265 70 16s, and it looks like there is a little rubbing on the frame at full lock, wondering if 32s will work.

    you will need hub adapter rings to go from the 108 down to Toyota's 106.1 (or is it .25?)

    Not necessarily. Most aftermarket wheels have a larger center bore and therefore are lug centric designed to be used with a conical "acorn" lug nut.

    Not sure what you're looking for in the photo, but I dug up this old one that kind of shows how the wheels fit.

    It would be easier for you to look up and read about offset vs backspacing rather than have me try to explain. They are pretty easy to understand, especially back spacing, but harder for me to explain haha.

    I ran 265 75 16's (roughly 32") on the factory 4.5" backspace wheels for a long time, and had almost no rubbing. The rubbing was so minor and rare it was unnoticeable. The 4" BS wheel would eliminate any frame rub with that size tire.

    they will work but some have reported vibrations due to the minor "off-center" lug centric. the hub rings are cheap and will help keep the wheel centered the way Toyota rims are, just my 2p

    Every factory wheel I have delt with, on multiple brands, has been hub centric. The majority of aftermarket rims that people run are lug centric and don't create a problem. Speaking specifically of the 1st gen Tacoma, is it just some, or most that experience vibrations without hub rings?
    I have been running these cheap aftermarket wheels for 15 years(?) without issue. I haven't done a forum search to see if it is a widespread problem when using aftermarket wheels in the 1st gen Tacoma.

    Something like this? Although these are plastic.

    Ran lug centric wheels and race tires on a street legal SCCA ride for years, changing wheels tires monthly for race weekend.

    No centering rings.

    If you understand haw to mount them properly they'll be fine.

    If you want hib rings, get metal ones and install with a wipe of anti seize. You'll thank me later.

    Awesome thanks for the feedback and pic. Looks great I think I will be going with these wheels unless there's a cheaper place to get them

    Find out how much how much those bad boys weigh. Steel wheels generally weight a ton. For not much more, you might want to consider our Ray10 model. They're 22 lbs each and won't kill your braking or acceleration.
