    No shit really? I have the 2016 off road wheels on my truck and I tried running wheel spacers but it just made the frame rubbing worse. Was hoping I could run these without wheel spacers.

    I think the calipers are, but the rotors are like Baer performance rotors upgraded from the stock.

    Let me rephrase: as of right now my wheels rub on the UCA at absolute full steering lock and nothing else. With the 1.25 spacer it started rubbing on the mudflaps and a little of the frame. With the 1.5 spacer is started rubbing the NUMMI sticker off the frame and making a terrible grinding noise.

    Long story short, no wheel spacers have the least rubbing for me.

    About to pull the trigger on this brake kit. How was installation and how has your experience been since installing? Summit website doesn't say anything about these brakes fitting a tacoma so I am curious

    13WL right? Installation is very simple. You just need to cut, hammer, and bend the dust shield until it doesn't rub the caliper and clears the rotor.

    If you plan on using your stock brake line you will have to drill the banjo bolt, but I recommend just using aftermarket brake lines.

    To be honest I have fought warping rotors since I bought the truck 553,000 miles.
    The only real fit is the tundra swap, but you need 16" rims
