    Hello all,

    I have been searching around with no luck finding the information I am looking for. I have 265/75/16 Nitto Trail Grapplers on 2nd gen TRD stock wheels. I love the look, but they rub hard on my sway bar at full lock. Id rather not run spacers, and keep my sway bar on the truck. The question is, are there variances in stock 16" Tacoma wheels?

    there are wheel posts out the wazoo. 2nd Gen have more backspacing bringing them in closer to the internals. I believe at least 5" compared to 4.5 for 1st Gen. you sure it's rubbing on the sway bar and not the frame (most common)? also you've increased the stock wheel size so rubbing was going to happen anyway.

    I did search. And yes sir, it is indeed rubbing on the sway bar. These are 16x7 wheels, the same as the steel wheels that came on it aside from the backspacing.
