    I would think so since a 2nd Gen can run up to a 18 inch rim and a 3rd Gen can do the same. 2nd and 3rds can't go down to 15's though.

    Yes, 2nd gen wheels will fit, they are the same lug pattern and hub diameter as 1st gen 15" and 16" wheels. You will need new tires, obviously. I believe all 2nd gen wheels are 4.5" backspacing, depending on what size tires you go with they may rub on the frame a bit.

    2nd Gen wheels will fit fine. bolt pattern and hub are identical. if the rims come with tires they will be 1/2" larger diameter but will still work fine.

    https://www.tacomaworld.com/tirecalc?tires=30-9.5r15-265-70r16

    backspacing on 1st Gen wheels is 4.5" and 2nd Gen is 5.25" so they sit a little closer to the UCA but at stock tire size will not rub. if you need tires for them you can get 245/75-16

    265/75-16 were not standard size. 265/70-16 is for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Gen. Also 245/75-16 (slightly smaller diameter than 265/70) for SR5 models 2nd and 3rd Gen. :)
