    I pick up this great Facebook marketplace find tomorrow evening. It needs a timing belt and some other little things but it drove great and all the things I checked were in good order for this age vehicle. Here is the baseline for my build. I put some pictures of wheels I'm thinking of buying off marketplace in my introduction thread but can post them here if anybody's interested.Screenshot_20250430_195634_Facebook.jpg

    I'm pretty sure I need some spacers for these Tacoma Wheels to work but I think I understood something in another thread that says spacers are okay.

    He's asking $1,900 for the wheels and tires. They only have 4,000 miles on them. 265/75R16

    Long story short, I jumped through lots of hoops and confusing spec sheets just to realize I needed to try for another minute putting these Tacoma wheels on my truck. They fit fine, I think I was just frustrated and didn't take the extra time to line it up. Can't wait to get the other three tires on and get the leveling kit but here's a sneak peek.

    These are 2023 Tacoma wheels and 265/75/R16 KO3
