15" Wheels on a 3rd Gen ?

What prevents 15 inch wheels from going on a 3rd gen? I'm assuming it's brake size, but I have owned 4x4s in the past that were spec'd with16 inch wheels, and all it took was grinding down a little excess cast to fit 15's.

Thanks

 

You answered your own question

 

Im sure it will depend on wheels. Ie steel will have more clearance than ally.

 

It's never going to happen. Not all 16 inch rims fit on 2 gens and I'm sure the calipers are not smaller on the 3rd gens

 

I just assumed. But what does it take to fit them, or is it to much work? Counter productive?

 

A brake swap from a corolla would probably net you enough clearance.

 

trim about an inch off the calipers is what it would take

 

And that sounds like a very bad idea.

 

You still have rear drums to rely on

 

I had to grind the shit out of my Jeep Jk calipers to fit 15" steel rims because I was too cheap to buy 35" tires for 16" rims....
