Depends on what your utilizing it for
I can't say I know too much about the topic but I rock 15" rims that are also wider than usual (I think its 10" wide but could be 12"). puts more tread on the road. I have had no trouble interchanging them with tires seasonally, I occasionally rock tsl super swampers when I play in the soupy mud pits around here. I can say that having smaller tires will increase your torque.

It's a '98 v6 4wd 5-spd with e-locker. It has the 16'' split spoke rims on it. By going to 15's I can save some money on tires. Regardless of rim size the outside diameter of the tires will be more or less the same when it comes time to buy them. I just am wondering what clearance issues I may run into. Want to run 33x10.50R15 BFG KM2's.
M_Gooch do you have any clearance problems on your 15's with mud getting in them?

The door jamb sticker lists the the standard wheel and tire size for the Base and SR5 4wd models.
However, many Base and SR5 models were equipped with larger optional wheels and tires. As it sounds like yours was. You likely also have the larger brake rotors, which means that most 15" wheels won't fit.

I was running 15x10 on my limited but I had to use 1.5 wheel spacers to clear the calipers
What is the contact point on the calipers? Would the certain amount of back spacing make it workable without spacers?
I am well aware of that but honestly couldn't care less. Haven't had any issues stopping with stock brakes.

Mines was rubbing the top of the caliper, you COULD be ghetto and grind the calipers down but really that's not the way to go and can be dangerous, honestly if I was you would just save up a few extra hundred and go with 16's that way you wouldn't have to buy spacers, that money could go toward the 16's, and as mentioned earlier it's a plus on doing the tundra brake upgrade, I'm sure in the future if you still have your runner you're gunna want to find more mods/upgrades to do, but then again it's your choice :cheers:

Not me, but my Mom has a 98 2wd w/4 banger and it's came stock with 15" stock steelies. She said the rims were ugly and it's was rusting being she live in Hawaii. So I put my 95 4star SR5 aluminum rims on. It's been on since 99. Me and my wife used the runner every time we go home. She now has a 13 double cab.
