    I bought a set of pro comp 51 series steel wheels for my 96 tacoma and went to see if everything was right and the wheels rub on the caliper. The back spacing is 3.75 in. Does anyone know if pro comp sells any 15x8 plain steel wheels with a bigger backspace?

    It's not the backspacing that is the problem. It's the shape of the back of the flange, it rubs the caliper. Only way to run those wheels (without grinding down the caliper) is to se a 1/4" spacer. You will also have to get new lug nuts!

    I have a '96 and Series 51 wheels (5883f).
