15x8s and spacers?

So I'm thinking of getting some 15x8 inch rims with 3.75 inches of backspacing and I might need a 1 inch or possibly 0.5 inch spacer to clear the caliper so I'm just wondering if that might be to wide or If those sizes will clear the caliper if needed any comments constructive criticism or just some shit talking I'm all ears or in this case eyes.

 

What wheels?

 

If you're talking about the Procomp steel wheels than you'll need spacers. You should buy wheel spacers that bolt on, I had those .5" spacers and my lugs were only holding onto like three threads. Within a week my lugs were toast.

These are the spacers I have

Replace front studs with rear studs from an '03 Matrix. Run whatever wheel you'd like with whatever width slip on spacer you'd like and have plenty of threads to spare.

 

I wanna get the trail masters because they are cheaper but the wheelers seem to be the only other cheap option but are actually made for yota and i want to know if the trail master ones will fit at all

 

on my old '99 Tacoma, I just bought the Wheeler's steelies even though they were more expensive. the ones you're talking about won't fit over your brakes as you stated, but I think that 3.75" BS + spacers will push your wheels way and put major stress on you ball joints and wheel bearings.

I've seen some guys use the cheaper steelies and just grind some material off their calipers. I'm not too into that idea, but some folks are down.

 

I ran Cragar Soft 8s 15x8 wheels on my first gen for a while. I think they look much better than the Wheelers or Trailmasters. Using a thin spacer (1/4"?) they cleared the front calipers. Just another option... Think they are about the same price as the Wheelers though. But you may be able to find them on Craigslist for cheap... That's where I scored mine!

 

Same here on the Soft 8s. Just the cheap parts house spacers will be enough to clear the calipers. You'll need corresponding acorn type lug nuts, too. I'd also suggest aluminum or stainless steel center caps if you want to run them. Anything else will rust.
