OK im going home for the holidays and I need winter tires BAD!! Or ill end p hitting the ditch 100% no 4x4 soo. I found some second hnd tires with rims.. the bolt pattern fits and eveything there just big!! They are 205/60R16.... Is that going to fit in my wheel well with no rubbing while im steering? I have a stock mazda b4000 with no lift. Thanks guys I appreciate it very much.

probably as they are low profile but it really depends on the backspacing of the wheels. honestly, all you can do is try them on the front and see. if the wheels are stock it should work for you.
good luck!

What size tires came on your truck? Being a 1991 4x2 they should be either 195/70/14 or 215/70/14, which means the tires would be 24.8" or 25.9" tall, respectively. The 205/60/16 tires are 25.7" tall. That is basically a perfect match in height for the bigger stock size, and 3.5% taller than the smaller factory tires.

Either way, those 16" tires are a pretty good match based on height. As strvgr said, backspacing could be an issue, but if the spacing is close, those wheels and tires should be a good choice.

Want to know how to calculate tire size?

(tire width) / 25.4 = Y
Y x (aspect ratio) x .02 = Z
Z + (wheel size) = tire diameter

So...

205 / 25.4 = 8.07" (this is the width of the tire)
8.07" x 60 x .02 = 9.68" (this is the height of both sidewalls)
9.68" + 16" = 25.68" tall
