    The previous owner of mine ('05) had to put 1st gen calipers on the front to fit 15" wheels, so I'm going to say no.

    What if 1" wheel spacers we're added?

    You will have a couple issues to look at.
    First is the caliper clearance. Go measure the gap between your current wheels (15") and the calipers. If 1/2" or less, it is a solid no go. If 5/8" or more, look into issue 2.
    Issue 2 is the wheel construction. Welded steel wheels often have weld beads and wheel material that actually extends further inward than what you get on aluminum.
    Adding spacers "may" help, however additional work may be needed.
    On my '40, I had to smooth welds on the wheels (15") and shave the calipers on the front and back (4 wheel disc) to clear.

    Thanks Windsor. I guess these rims aren't worth the hassle, for me at least. Case closed .

    I've heard of other tacos using ranger wheels. Also check the lug spacing, it needs to be 114. 3 x 5 (metric) or 4.5" x 5 (standard) with at least 63mm center bore.

    You want to make sure the backspace is 4in and the offset either 0mm or around -13mm. Quite a few Jeep rims are positive and will be a hassle. Mickey Thompson makes their classic 3's which are similar to those but fit with a small 1/4" spacer

    It has a Mazda center cap. Bolt pattern will fit, but you need to check offset/backspacing to ensure they will clear the brake caliper
