Toyota Tacoma 2nd gen wheel fitment
Most second-generation Tacomas are six-stud 4x4 or PreRunner trucks on 16 or 17-inch wheels, though the base two-wheel-drive truck and X-Runner use five studs. Owners usually start with a slightly taller tyre on the factory wheels, then move to 285-wide tyres once the truck is lifted.

Explained in our guides
Read these before choosing wheels for the Tacoma: they explain the offset, fitment and hub numbers in this guide.
- Wheel offset explained: choosing ET without guessingUnderstand positive and negative wheel offset, calculate inner clearance and outer position, and choose an ET using measurements from your own car.
- Lifted truck wheel fitment: backspacing, 33s, 35s and trimmingPlan larger truck tyres around lift-kit requirements, backspacing, steering and articulation. Compare 33 and 35 inch tyres without assuming a lift guarantees clearance.
- Hub-centric vs lug-centric wheels: choosing hub ringsLearn what hub rings do, how to specify their inner and outer diameters, and why centring, wheel seats and vibration need separate checks.

Taller tyres on factory 17s
- Front and rear
- 17 × 7.5 inch, ET30 · 265/70 R17
The same TacomaWorld poll covers 265/70 R17 on the factory 17-inch wheels at standard height. Check the front mudflaps and liners at full lock.
3-inch lift on 16x8 ET0
- Front and rear
- 16 × 8 inch, ET0 · 285/75 R16
A second-gen owner on TacomaWorld runs 16x8 ET0 XD wheels with 285/75 R16 BFGoodrich all-terrains on a 3-inch lift and reports only minimal rubbing. Owners who go off-road often trim plastic or do the cab mount chop.
Width and offset guidance
Offset range
Check the exact setup
There is no confirmed range for this car yet. Compare a known wheel with your proposed size and measure both sides.
Common width limit
Measure before ordering
A maximum width has not been confirmed. Tyre shape, ride height and alignment all change the available space.
These figures belong to the setups described here. Combining the widest wheel with either end of the offset range does not guarantee a safe fit. For how ET moves the wheel in and out, read wheel offset explained; for how far the tyre can sit out, see flush, poke and tucked fitment.
Clearance notes
- Check the stud count first. 4x4 and PreRunner trucks use 6x139.7 with a 106.1 mm centre bore. The base two-wheel-drive truck and the X-Runner use 5x114.3 with a 60.1 mm bore. Both use M12x1.5 nuts.
- Third-generation (2016–2023) Tacoma wheels share the six-stud pattern and bore. Fourth-generation wheels do not fit directly.
- 285/75 R16 and 285/70 R17 on a 2 to 3-inch lift is a mixed result in owner polls. About a third report no rubbing, and the rest rub or trimmed the cab mount.
- Upper control arm contact at full lock is common on lifted trucks with factory arms. Owners fix it with aftermarket arms, wheels with less backspacing or spacers.
- We have not confirmed Toyota's wheel-nut torque for this generation from a primary source. Use the figure in the owner's handbook.
- Check full steering lock and suspension travel with the car loaded. Match wheel load rating, tyre load and speed ratings, fastener seats and brake clearance.
