But that's only one part of the equation, there's also Offset (how far to the inside or the outside of the barrel the center of the wheel sits). This can mean a wheel sits WAY outside of the fenders, which is a look some like and others find vomit-inducing. Or it can mean the wheels sit WAY inboard and have rubbing issues.
4Runners have a 15mm offset (across the board I think, all years). No idea how big of positive number you can go with before rubbing occurs. Tacoma's range from 5mm (TRD) to 40mm. You can make a 40mm work with spacers, but then you get back into that cosmetic things with the wheels sticking out past the fenders/body, which is a love or hate look.
40mm will have the wheel center 1 inch closer to the outside (meaning the center of the tread is 1 inch inboard of a 15mm offset/stock wheel). Is that enough to cause rubbing on the inside? I don't know... Too much positive offset can also cause at-speed handling issues.
Personally, I'm not willing to risk much more than a 5mm deviation (10~20mm). Others will happily slap on a 1.5" spacer and never think twice about it. This is the website I've found with the best overall info (photos for all, offsets for most): Toyota Wheels Rims Wheel Rim Stock OEM Replacement |

The original is a 16 x 7 and the new one is suggesting a 16x8?
The newbie is confused as to how the 7" current rim will work with
a replacement 8" rim? Unless I am missing the offset issue?
Sorry, the pictures will not copy and paste to this thread.
