    Has anyone on here changed their 16" wheels to 15 " Dia . ( 6 lug ) on their later model Taco 4x4 ? Is it safe ? I want to change so that I have lighter wheels so I can do my own Changes from summer to winter wheels . I'm 73 yrs. old with a very bad back and would also like to save a few bucks by doing the changes myself . I find the 16" wheels too heavy for me , Even with the alloy rims . Every ounce in weight makes a big difference as you get older ...... Thanks .

    Sorry man but being 73 you shouldn't be lifting anything unless your in the gym workin out. Have your kids or grandkids(if you have either) help you out you should be enjoying life not straining yourself
