IFS is best kept at ambient temperature in a pile of scrap in the backyard.  When kept under a functioning vehicle, it tends to greatly diminish said vehicle's offroad ability.     -reklund5

The front center caps won't fit (if they're the late model closed style center caps) 
The backspacing will cause the early 15" taco wheels to hit the tie-rod ends, necessitating wheel spacers in the front...the later 16" taco wheels MAY fit without issue.

thanks I think I will give it a shot there is a ton of takeoffs from tacomas and 4runners on craigslist and this would be a cheaper way to ad some  :bling: until I decide on a lift and final tire size.

Just get some cheapo "rockcrawler" rims. $85 for some 15x10 I think. That way you can use them later down the road when you lift and go with big rubber.
