16 inch Level 8 Guardian fitment

I may buy some 16x8.5 inch guardians with -6 off set this spring. I'm also upgrading to the larger 231mm tundra brakes. I know this is a shot in the dark but does anyone know if this combo will rub. I can't find the wheels close enough to test fit. I don't want to order and then end up having to run a 1/4 inch spacer to fit. Discount tire shows photos of the a 16 inch wheel on a 1st gen tundra but I'm not trusting a photo.

 

subd I'm planning on doing this swap when my brakes go bad.

 

If they list it for the 1st gen Tundra then you should be OK. If it makes you feel more comfortable, buy the set listed for the Tundra.

 

my buddy did this on a second gen and they rubbed. not sure about the 1st. watch out

 

I believe the level 8 guardian has two offset options one is the -6mm the other is -25mm if you want to be sure get the -25mm you'll have less backspacing and more room.

 

-25 will be too wide. In NH you not supposed to have the tire stick out past the top of the fender and the -6 will leave me with about an inch over. Is have to go the other way with positive offset and run a spacer to compensate. This would her the inner wheel away from the caliper. If I have to run a spacer I'll just keep my current setup that works just fine.

 

that's not just NH thats pretty much everywhere.

running spacers is the same as a wheel with less backspacing. but to each his own.

 

What I meant by the previous post is getting a wheel with 5 inches of back spacing (about +18 offset) and running a 1 inch spacer will yield the same back spacing (4inch or -6 offset) that I need but it spaces the backside of the wheel that may contact the caliper an inch away. This should help any interference but sets me out another $125.

 

How do you know what the offset is? Americas tire just say they are 16X8.5 5-114.3 18MTB. What's the MTB mean?

Any help? Thanks - Will

 

First off the bolt pattern you mentioned is not correct for a toyota. I believe that's a jeep bolt pattern. Toyota is 6-5.5 (or 139mm). Then the 18 you mentioned is the offset which is about a 5 inch back spacing. The MTB is the finish. Matte black

 

I was referring to the 5 lug tacomas which is 5x114.3. But thanks this helped.

 

Sorry forgot about the 5 lug guys.
