    Hi Everyone, long time reader first time poster. Truly appreciate the wealth of knowledge and you guys willing to share it here!

    I've got a 98 extra cab that's all stock. Well, it had an AAL kit which gave it that wack (but functional) stance. With what I found here was able to safely take that thing out so now my truck looks normal.

    I'm coming from a 1992 standard toyota pickup which was great, but man this thing rolls like a lexus...not really but waaay better than 92.

    My question is, what is the widest tire/wheel setup for most likely some 15" wheels running 55 or 60 series tires. I don't want to give up too much ride quality for minimum performance gains. I also want to keep the rim/tire flush with the body. I'd be open to 16" with lower profile tires, but not much more than that since my pickup is a 4 banger meant for some decent gas mileage.

    I may look at a mild drop in the future, but $$$ talks.

    Thanks in advance!!!!

    -Steve

    5 lug I’m guessing? Might wanna post here https://www.tacomaworld.com/forums/street-trucks.70/
    I’m fairly certain the fenders are different from 5 lug to 6 lug so wheel offset for flush figment will be different. On a 6 lug 4” backspacing on a 8” wide wheel is fairly flush but could be wide for you.
