2005-15 Toyota Tacoma Wheel, Tire and Suspension Fitment Guide

The second generation of any truck model is when it really begins to hit its stride, or fall off the face of the earth entirely. It's telling, then, that the Toyota Tacoma's second generation lasted for ten model years, and skyrocketed to the forefront of the off-road community's public eye in that timeframe.

The second-gen Tacoma is the stuff of legends, and it's a popular rig for everyone from beginner enthusiasts to hardcore overlanders. So, if you're ready to get your 05-15 Tacoma built right, we're here to help - check out our fitment guide on the second-generation Tacoma below!

Bolt Pattern & Recommended Fitment Specs For The Second-Gen Toyota Tacoma

Before we jump into our favorite builds, let's talk about the recommended fitment specs on Tacoma models released from 2005-15:

Bolt Pattern:

6x139.7mm: This is the standard bolt pattern for all second-gen Tacomas (2005-2015) equipped with 4WD or PreRunner models. Think of it like the key to fitting your wheels onto your truck.

Recommended Wheel and Tire Fitment Range:

This is where it gets a bit more interesting, as it depends on your specific goals and modifications:

• Stock: If you're keeping your Tacoma mostly stock, you can stick with the factory wheel size and offset. This will typically be 16" or 17" wheels with a positive offset.
• Mild Off-Road: For some light trails and dirt roads, 17" wheels with a slightly more aggressive offset (around 0 to -12mm) can give you a wider stance and allow for larger tires without rubbing.
• Serious Off-Road: If you're hitting tougher trails and want maximum clearance, you'll likely want to go with 16" or 17" wheels with a more negative offset (around -12mm to -25mm). This will push your wheels out further and allow for even larger tires.

Tire Size:

Your tire size will also play a role in fitment. Generally speaking, you can fit up to a 33" tire on a stock Tacoma with some minor trimming. If you've lifted your truck, you can go even bigger, although we'd still recommend staying around 33 inch tires and getting a more aggressive wheel offset instead.
