    IMO your wheels would look so much better without the white letters.

    I think they look great with the white letters. Goes with the white truck and helps break up the black hole of a black wheel/Tire combo.

    I am a wheel guy - I think it is one of the easiest ways to personalize a vehicle, so my vote would be to get nice wheels. Nice does not necessarily mean bling, just something different than regular wheels that everyone else has. Also, nice may include standard OEM aluminum/mag wheels, other than steelies; in which case you do not have to do anything other than tires.


    (I am also a mall crawler, so other upgrades like suspension, winch, sliders etc. is lower on my priority list :anonymous:) It's all about the looks!:oops:

    No need to buy new TPMS, just get the ones pulled from your old wheels. When you buy tires, make that a stipulation that you will only buy the tires from them if they will pull the TPMS sensors from your old wheels at no cost. Reprogramming is super easy for any tire shop as well, its just a small tool they stick to each wheel and then they press a button... done.

    Limited wheels, extra rope hooks in bed.
    The Limited wheels are 18"....P265/60R18....The Tacoma comes with 16", 17", or 18" wheels depending on the model and package.

    Ok, so if I got a TRD OR what tire size would I need for the limited wheels? Are you saying 265/60/18 will fit my OR without a lift? I am new to this tire and wheel thing

    2016 Tacoma Off Road/SR/SR5 - 16" Rim
    2016 Tacoma TRD Sport - 17" Rim
    2016 Tacoma Limited - 18" Rim

    TRD Off Road/Sport/Limited will be able to run any of the stock wheel setups without modification to the suspension.

    So yes, Limited stock wheel/tire setup will fit on your off road without any modification.

    He is correct, especially if you buy a stock set of wheels and tires....The circumference of the different size tires are all the same I believe.

    My original size wheels and tires were P245/75R16 which if you do a tire size comparison is almost the exact same circumference as my Limited P265/60R18....The 17" rim's tire size falls somewhere in between the 16" & 18" but are the same circumference.

    That way the gearing stays the same on all the different models of trucks.
