    Can you put 15 wheels on a taco? I keep hearing they rub on the calipers. If you can fit them, what kind of wheels For example the mojave?

    RIP to my 08 Prerunner DC
    I know that some 16's make you shave the calipers, so 15's make me think that there is no way.

    15's will rub the calipers on 2nd gen prerunners and 4x4's. You can run them with no issues on the 1st gens.

    Google "Arctic Truck". The Hilux with 38" tires is sitting on 15"x12.5" rims. Not saying I'm a fan of 15" wheels on a truck, but there are certainly ways to make a bad ass truck with 15's.:D
