Haven't seen a lot of examples of Astros rocking newer Tacoma rims, so I thought I would post pictures of my van with her new shoes. I know in my area these tires and wheels are very easy to get a hold of because most people that buy a new Toyota immediately take off these stock parts within the first 1,000 miles and post them to Craigslist or Facebook marketplace. I tossed on some new shocks at the same time. Total price for this upgrade:

$200 16" wheels
$400 Goodyear Wrangler 265/70R16
$200 KYB shocks
$250 Local small shop installation
---------
$1,050

Pretty happy with the total cost and how it turned out considering Discount Tire initially quoted me $1,000 for just new tires and installation.

Thanks bud. I see no reason those wouldn't fit. I found some threads on google of people using 215/70R16 on 16x7s, so it should be perfectly fine.

I really wanted a set of TRD PRO wheels, but the only decently priced set I found sold before I got to them. Still keeping an eye out just in case haha.

Looks great! Did you have to make modifications to the sliding door or wheel wells for those tires to fit? I would think there would be issues with rubbing in both spots
Yeah what stack said.......... I want to put 265/70R/16s on my van, (2003 Astro Journey's 3-5 lift) but the only wheels I like have a 0 offset. The wheel calculator says a 265/70R/16 will move out 2.17 inches from stock 215/65R/16 on a 0 offset wheel. That will put the tires outside of the fenders.
What is the offset on the Tacoma wheels? Do the tires stick out past the fenders?
