steel rim rubbing on caliper

hey 1 have a 2015 sr5 and i bought a set of winter tires on factory tacoma steel rims and when installed the front hit on the calipers whats up with that? any 1 else have this problem

 

You bought both wheels and tires? What year model are the wheels from? Certainly sounds like they have a different offset. A small spacer should fix the issue, assuming a bit of grinding on the caliper wont do it.

 

yea as a set they are off a tundra

 

Your first post says Tacoma wheels. Now you say Tundra?

Regardless, correction method should be same......

 

different truck i'd guess

 

these are the same rims

 

What year Tundra did the seller claim he pulled the wheels off of? For the second and third generation Tundra (2007+) I thought that Toyota stopped using 16" wheels? I'm pretty certain that those wheels you posted in that picture were only used on the Tacoma and never the first generation Tundra.

 

he didnt say he also didnt say that they came stock but they have toyota center caps i just dont understand y they rub just bugs me

 

How did you know that they were rubbing? Did you hear a noise or do you have a picture of the interference? Those are the stock wheels installed with base and SR5 Tacomas and I've never heard of rubbing problems. My own truck came with those wheels and I had no problems in the 10,000 miles that I had them. Is it just one front wheel or both? Do you have a big brake kit installed on the front?

 

Years ago I tried swapping wheels from 94 to a 97 Tacoma that did not go well the truck did not move after they were bolted on. All wheels are not created equal.

 

no stock brakes i installed them and they shake and make a banging noise only on the fronts back fine and both fronts hit in same place i might take them to local dealer ship and see what they say

 

Been there done that, stupid tire shop installed them and drove the truck around and destroyed my calipers.

 

I just checked the Raybestos Brake catalog - the 2015 rotors are different from a 2006, with no calipers offered for a 2015 when there are for a 2006. Looks like there was a change in the front brakes somewhere along the way. Might be why those wheels aren't working - I have those same ones on my 2006.

 

They'll say the are the wrong wheel because they have they have the wrong offset. Then they'll take your money for the diagnostic work and they still won't work.

As i suggested earlier if the interferance is minimal the caliper can be filed or shaped to clear.

Or even easier, put spacers on when you use those wheels.

 

they are just hitting i think a 1/4 spacer would work ebay here i come

 

ok so by factory i mean they are 6 bolt toyota rims and if i wanted to buy new rims y would i ask for help on this thread

 

OP you've been treated pretty well for a guy who doesn't have a clue what he is asking about and wants help but can't tell an accurate back story for those offering advice.

Don't be a smartass about your continued failings. Try a thanks, or something.. instead of "if I was smart enough to know the answer, why would I ask silly questions?"

 

i dont want to grind my calipers i will have to do some research on spacers
TY all for all ur comments and suggestions except for the last 1 lmao which was no help at all

 

just a quick update i took clearwaters advice and with a little shaping of the calipers and they fit and drive fine THANKS ALL
