Question Hello all. Back after many years, wheel question

I joined this group back when I bought my '00 Tundra. I've been away for a few years, but now that I'm trading my '00 for an '08 I knew I could probably find answers here. I haven't picked up the new one yet but I'm already looking at wheels. I'm planning on replacing the 18" styled steel wheels with some aftermarket alloys of roughly the same size. Based on the price of wheels and tires, I'd like to stay with an 18" wheel size. Ideally, I could swap the current tires from the steel wheels to the alloys, then when they get worn maybe I could put on something slightly larger and more aggresive.

So what is the back spacing of the factory wheel?
Also, I thought it would be helpfull to create a table of info for all to use. If something doesn't already exist, wouldn't it be handy to have a list of what wheel and tire combo's work (diameter X width, back spacing, tire size) with year, model, amount of lift if applicable, etc...?
I would be willing to compile the info and start a table if you guys who've succesfully worked out an upgrade could send me what you know works or doesn't. I'm not sure how I would post it here and keep it maintained.
Any suggestions?

Stock is 60mm offset. The attached table is not an approved list, but it does allow you to compare offsets to see how far they will stick out compared to stock.

Front Susp: Stock coilovers, 4" lift (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...6-4-inch-lift/), just swapped extra spacers for Bilstein 5100s on lowest setting, wheel well height still 41.5."

Rear Susp: ProComp ES3000 #326510 (2.25" taller than stock), 1.25" blocks plus PRG mini-pack (http://www.tundrasolutions.com/forum...and-new-truck/) gives 2.25" total lift, parking brake cable bracket spacers, wheel well height 43."

Front diff and rear ds drop; trailer hitch electrical harness tucked up above bumper.

After 20K miles swapped 305/65/18 BFG AT for 285/75/18 Toyo AT, still on stock 18x8x60 offset TRD wheels, about 1/8" clearance to sway bar. Like the extra height but miss the width. Next time either 305/70/18 or 35x12.50/18.

Added 5th 285/75/18 Toyo AT as spare. Foam pad above spare to help with bed bounce.

Bed Bounce: Stiffer E-tires are worse than stock P-metric; biggest improvement from PRG mini-pack, slight improvement from shocks and foam pad above spare. Still a stiff ride but tolerable now.

Best things about this truck: 5.7 and transmission, interior size and comfort, very quiet at high speed.

Worst things about this truck: bed bounce, no VSC in 4wd, mileage sucks above 70.
