    I bought my rims before ever thinking of doing the brake upgrade. But yeah I could've used my stock 16's. Although I bought my Method 16x8's w/ 4.5" of BS. And they clear the calipers without any spacers. Yeah I'm pretty sure 16's are the minimum requirement to do the brake upgrade.

    HAHA! I think that's why most people get them. But hey, whatever floats your boat! It's your money.

    I'll put in a vote for EBC GD7235 rotors and greenstuff pads paired with Wheelers steel braided brake lines. Great combo if you're not doing the Tundra upgrade.

    So we are posting brake porn? :laughing: Stoptech slotted rotors + Akebono ceramic pads. These rotors/calipers are about as big as they can be while still fitting inside a 16" wheel.

    Do the green pads put off a lot of brake dust? That's what I've heard. Are the yellow ones better? Just wondering. Someone on TW had the green pads and were complaining about a lot of brake dust.

    Yes the green do put off a noticeable amount of dust that I would say that's just average, nothing major at all. Well worth it IMO with the great braking power these give. I have heard, and did read that same post that the yellows do not put out as much dust, but have not tried them yet.

    I bought them here. Priced right and fast delivery. make sure you order the right size rotors.

    Even the non high carbon rotors are fine.
