Hello everyone, i just got a used 2006 x-runner Speedway blue couple days ago and so far im loving it. not going to be doing any mods for now.

i am from cincinnati and needed some advise on steel rims and snow tires for the winter. we have a junk yard close to my house and i needed to know from what kind of vehicle can i get the rims of from that will work with my XR. maybe the actual rim size would work too.

Thanks
Anthony

Welcome to the Underground.
As far as winter wheels and rubber you can go as small as a 15" wheel with the factory brakes. If you can get steel wheels from a 5 lug tacoma they would work well. I believe the rav 4 and probably some of the cars would share the same 5x114.3 and center bore as our trucks. Tire rack used to offer a package with steel wheels, but I don't see any steel wheels available when you punch in tacomas for a model.
For rubber I run Bridgestone Blizzaks. Has done awesome in the snow the last 7 years. I run with about 300-350 lbs of weight in the bed. When I need a new set I would definitely buy the blizzaks again.

Welcome! Don't you worry, you will get mod fever after a few months. It starts slow, maybe a black head light mod, or a fog light mod...then before you know it you are trying to figure out how you are gonna get mk3'd...it will happen.

WELCOME! "not going to be doing any mods for now" Famous words said by most of us here when we join. I know I said that when I got my XR. Only had mine for a year and look at the mods I've accummulated. Cheers!
