    Does anyone know if they make a single piston front brake caliper for the 2015 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner. I have a set of 17" rims that will not fit over the caliper and I and trying to figure out a solution.

    Weird, most 16"s fit without an issue. Does the pre-runner have upgraded calipers?

    Could be the offset or backspacing of the wheels. :confused:

    My pre runner has the caliper with the piston on both sides.

    They all do. Only 5 lug Tacos use a single piston sliding caliper.

    Some people have shaved a little off the calipers to fit wheels, but that's usually on 16" wheels. Those wheels probably have too little offset. May not be anything you can do about it.

    Take the wheels back. The first set of wheels that I put on did not fit. Sales guy tried to get me to get some spacers. I said no thank you and you can have your wheels back. Got refund and when elsewhere
