That tyre would be just under 29" diameter and without serious amount of lift and body work they will not fit , the other problem you have will be that you would have to mod the hubs to fit the toyots rims.

yeah as Mike said.

Im not sure what offset hilux rims are but theyre probably incorrect.

To be honest, its probably better going a set of 15inch rims. You will get better offroad capabilities when you let the tyres down and they 'bag' out becasue the tyres are bigger.

ALSO....you will struggle to turn these wheels and tryres with the stock engine. They will probably be a disadvantage in all situations.
