and get an expensive 16" tire to put on my 1996 T100 4x4?

I've heard people talk about bolt patterns and offsets- and I'm just getting all confused
Those wheels you link to are off a 2000-2006 vintage tundra. They will fit with no problems, and the offset will be comparable. For the most part, any six lug toyota wheel will do you fine. Hubcaps may not fit over the front hub bearing caps depending on the wheel. Be weary of Chevy six lugs, they will fit but the offset may suck.

My T came with 265 70 R16s from the factory. As expected, this size has no problems. This is a 31.6" tire. My T also came with gearing apropriate for this tire size, though. If you have smaller tires you may not be happy with the shift points after going up in size.

Cheers,
Rob
