Toyota Trucks: 98 Tacoma Tire/Wheel Size Increase

I have an 03 4x4 XtraCab 4cyl that came with 225 tires on 15inch rims. I put
on 16inch alloys and LT265 tires. They fit fine, not sure about 98's, but
later years can take a 265 tire.

tires. Can I increase this 
have to. Maybe a 225 width 
installing OEM flares also.

If you go to http://www.tires.com , they have a thing that will tell you
what size wheels and tires will fit your vehicle. I don't think you'll have
any problems with tire height: 16-inch wheels were available as an option on
2WD Tacomas, IIRC. (I sure *hope* it will fit, 'cause I'm going to Milwaukee
to pick up some 16" alloy wheels for mine this weekend.)

The only thing I'd worry about is possible spacing issues - I don't remember
how wide a wheel/tire will fit. It's possible you'll need backspacing. The
flares will help with the sticky-out part, so long as they fit in the wheel
wells.
