WTF?? Wheels wont fit!

ok. So I am coming down from a 20x12 rim to the trd tx 16" rim. Just tried putting them on, and..... THEY DONT FIT?!?!

I have a PC lift, so I have no idea if this has anything do to with it, but its not fitting at all!

Spacers? What do I need to do to get these things to fit! Or did I just spend money on the trd wheels for nothing???

 

I dont have the trd sport calipers. Just the rims are the trd. And so how are the trd rims not fit on trd calipers?

 

I just have a standard 2012 tacoma 4x4

 

theirs a thread somewhere about taking and grinding a bit off your calipers. That way you can clear your wheels, Ill try to find it.


found it:http://www.tacomaworld.com/forum/wheels-tires/140676-grinding-calipers-fit-wheels-how.html

 

Its not just the calipers, its that strut thats hitting as well.

 

ahh yea, didnt look at all the pics. lol spacers or new wheels, those are your options.

 

So spacers will solve my problem? What size?

 

Pro comp lift? As in 3'' or 6"

If you have a 6" lift then your only option is to go with wheel spacers. If you do spend the money and go Spidertrax.

 

Yes, its a 6" lift. Will the spacers FOR SURE fix this issue? I don't want to spend even more money on spacers just to have the strut still hit

 

Depends on the dimensions of your wheel. Only you would be able to figure that out.


...

 

Doesn't procomp state you need at least an 18" wheel for their six inch lift? Looks like you found out why...

 

Yep...says so on their website...

if you have a procomp 6" lift you will not be able to run 16s unless you run spacers. the minimum for that lift is 17s.

i have the procomp and originally ran into this problem. im running 2013 4runner trails as my stocks.

 

Yes, spacers will correct it. Just make sure whatever you but is toyota specific (hub centric) Or just get the spidertrax wheel spacers and call it a day.

 

Or Bora

 

Don't be an idiot and grind your calipers.

 

the Spidertrax Toyota 6 on 5-1/2" x 1-1/4" Thick Wheel Spacer Kit will work then?

 

great... Well, im going to try the spacers first... if all else fails.. I'll have 5 black trd tx rims available for sale.

 

Keep in mind that if your wheels are already have a backspacing of 4.5", adding 1.25" spacers might stick out too far for your liking along with stress on the wheel bearings. If you have a local shop that carries spacers, I would have them try 1/4"-1/2" spacers to see if it will clear. Be easier to just sell and buy new wheels, imho..
