    Will Toyota Tacoma rims fit on a 1500 AWD Chevy express?

    Its time for new KO2s and I would like to go from 17 inch rims down to 16. It seems there are lots of guys with Toyotas who feel 16 inch rims are unmanly and are looking to go way up to 18 , 19 or even more. This means you can pick them up pretty cheap. My goal is a wider sidewall because I...
