Upgrading to Tundra caliper or other bigger calipers on 15" wheels??

Hi guys,

first congratulation to myself, I've been stupid enough to renew both my summer and winter tires set-up even knowing upgrading to 16" wheels would allow me to finally do the Tundra brake upgrade.

I want to upgrade my brake, the ones I have are on their last miles and I feel one wheel maybe harder to turn on some circounstances. Usually unoticable but I drove like 30 miles on a total icy highway yesterday and was feeling that the truck could be rotating a little bit around one wheel, not sure but it's telling me it's time to replace theses 17 years old calipers.

Problem is, I don't feel like replacing all my tires again.

I know there is two tundra model calipers, do one of them is smaller than the other one and could have more chance to be fitted in with some grinding? I know there is plenty of casting meet in calipers and I'm not afraid to remove a little bit of material. Therefore, I won't launch myself in a project that is not doable anyways.

If some of you could have tips for me it would be really appreciated.

Worst case, I'll just buy OEM size calipers with good pads but I'd rather upgrading.

My summer wheels are like 3.75BS but y winter wheels are OEM Toyota.

 

You could just buy an EBC brake kit built for your truck (if they make one) and not have to have a bigger size to get better lasting/better braking products....

I know 02-09 4runner kit fits 05-11 tacomas but that doesn't really help your situation....

 

I'd stay with stock front calipers for now and don't skimp on cheap pads.

I was tempted to upgrade to the Tundra calipers, but heard that if you have stock-diameter tires, and don't carry big loads, you don't really need the larger brakes. Just make sure that yours are optimum
