    I have a 1996 Tacoma 4X4.

    I'm looking at the American Racing, AR172 Baja wheels for my truck. 15X8 size. And mounting them with the stock size 31X10.5/15's

    Will it work?

    If I use them, what do I use to be able to access the locking hubs on the front wheels?

    The center cap pushes through the wheel from the backside.

    Don't put them on for the front. The hub will be accessible.

    Thanks! Do they have a sleeve to cover the sides of the hub? Or will the silver just show thru?

    ...not sure. My hubs stick trough the wheel, no cap or sleeve. It will be fine without it.

    Cool looking wheels by the way.

    Thinking of getting those myself. Was curious if you had any issues with hitting the brake caliper
