Not looking for anything fancy. Just don't want to be stressing the rubber every year with eight tires on and off the same rims.
Look for take offs. OEM Toyota wheels from Land Cruisers and Tundras (5 lug) are the most common and litter craigslist, forums, and facebook.

Thanks. I have 265/60 R18 and found a great deal on snow tires. Am embarrassed that I don't know what rims to get. I've actually turned a few wrenches but not on tires on wheels except to change a flat.
5x150 bolt pattern, which is a 5 lug. Toyota Tundra wheels, Land Cruiser Wheels, and any aftermarket 18" truck wheel should fit those tires.
This guy is selling a set of Tundra wheels with snow tires via a 30 second search on your local craigslist.

Many thanks! I am checking this out!
Shoutout to AlpineAccess for helping OP out.
Those steel mounted snows are exactly what I’d look for in your position.

I found a set of new zero-miles steel Tundra take-off's. With hub caps and lug nuts I was $ $150 at the local Lexus/Toyota dealer. Had a set of Blizzaks mounted and balanced for another ~ $50. They started their 4th winter last month and tread depth looks good for at least 3-3 more winters. As was posted, steel wheels are all over the place.

Looking to downsize tire size for snows from 265/60R/18 to 255/60R/18. Any problems I should anticipate?
This is a full inch narrower in diameter than the OEM tire; so RPM's are going to go up. That's a pretty narrow and short tire - 30" in diameter.
More road feel with less sidewall, smaller contact patch, higher RPM most noticeable on highway.
You don't need a pizza cutter tire like that with a Land Cruiser like you might with a Tacoma for good winter performance. The Land Cruiser has 6500lbs to push down and get you through to the road.

Exceptional explanation! I am extremely grateful for your reply. My "door" tells me I should be running 275/60R/18. I'll pursue that. Frankly, it doesn't look like I will really need snow treads. Although I think I would enjoy the versatility of a more "aggressive" tread. Many, many thanks! Picked up this beauty Just before the pandemic hit. It had 206K. There was no rust. I rust-proofed it. Did shocks, timing belt, water pump and Heater Ts. Keep he oil clean at 3K. Now just turned 220K. Love the truck. A little thirsty, yes. But running down the highway in a driving thunder-storm with semis all around at 80mph the thing is a rock! Again, thanks for the great advice!
I prefer a skinny winter tire.
I also only run Nokian studded.
