    Do you off road your truck at all? That will play a huge part in what kinda wheels you get.

    No issues with rubbing at all, except a tiny bit of rub on the frame under full lock. Hardly noticeable. The truck is lifted 2.5 inches up front and 1.5 inches out back. I squeezed those tire's under without lift. Here's a pic:

    Don't have any full-on side shots of the wheels, so these are the best pics I have.

    17"x7.5" 1st gen Tundra/Sequoia split-spoke wheels. I think they look pretty good for a factory wheel, and you can find them cheap on CL or salvage yards.
    Someday I'd like some aftermarket wheels, but all the ones I like are $200+ each and I have a hard time throwing down a thousand dollars for something strictly aesthetic.

    Round wheels are the best on a Tacoma. It is personal preference.
