    Wheelers version is made to clear the Tacoma calipers, and apparently pro comp's regular version historically does not. It's listed in the description of both wheels.

    Because shipping was going to be outrageous from OR to TN, I ordered the ProComp D Windows from Discount. If they don't fit I'm out nothing or I can simply order 1/4 inch spacer and boom 4.0 BS and I'm good to go. Wheeler's would not guarantee fit and would not allow return. Mount, balance, and tax on 5 rims $590.

    Ya, shipping all the way out there is spendy for sure. Congrats on the purchase, hope that set up works well for you.

    Wheelers couldn't guarantee they fit because you have an 03'? I emailed Dan @ Wheelers to confirm they fit, but I have an 09'.. Guessing that's the case.

    Post some pics on your new set up, would love to see how they look!

    Perhaps the 03' is the issue. Will post pics. BTW, those steel rims will look sick on your rig!

    The steelies arrived and had them mounted, here are a few pics. It took a day or two to get used to them, much different look than the oem wheels.. Mainly the large difference in backspacing. Had a little rubbing at full lock in reverse, but trimmed the fender flare and should be good. I like em a lot!!! :D

    Very nice! No clearance issues I take it? Had mine mounted up today. 1/4 inch spacer on fronts required! No biggie thanks to a local TW user who had an extra set! Pics to follow!

    I had mine mounted today as well but didn't require any spacers at all. I have the other steely from WHeelers though.

    Looks great!!! Like how they look on the older model Taco. Cool man!

    Ya no clearance issues other than the fronts slightly rubbing at full wheel lock when in reverse. There is a useless small piece of the fender flare that drops an inch or two below the front of the wheel well and just chopped that down. Seems to clear fine now. Taking it camping this weekend so will see how it does off road.

    Looks good dude! I am probably gonna get 4 more to run some M/T's on so I don't ding up my nice wheels.

    So I got my Wheelers Steelies put on and noticed that the front rims have a nice black low profile center cap, but the rear wheels do not. (as see in the pics below) Is this normal? I know I can order the larger center caps but honestly, I like the low profile one better.
