2003 Tacoma Prerunner aftermarket wheel help

I need the help of someone who knows more than me (which isn't a lot). My son just got his first truck(2003 Prerunner) and is wanting to put aftermarket wheels on it and a small lift. I am learning about Offset,+ vs -,but this Back Spacing got me kinda stumped. He wanted some wheels that were 6 on 5.5 and 17x8 with a 0 offset and were told that they would fit a 4wd but not the 2wd that they would hit the brake caliper. Can anyone offer any advice on what he should be looking for in offset/backspacing wise?

 

17x8 0 offset will work just fine on his truck. It’s a 6 lug prerunner correct?

 

That is correct Steve. Thank you very much!

 

Anytime!! Congrats on his first truck.

 

Thank you Sir!

 

So you don't get any more confused, a Prerunner is exactly the same as the 4x4 variant, excluding the 4x4 specific drivetrain components.

 

I guess there are a lot of folks out there selling wheels online that don’t know what they are talking about then. I had a few different folks tell me, when asking about rims specific for a Prerunner, that a certain rim would fit a 4x4 but not a Prerunner. I am so glad I found this forum. It’s perfect for people like me. Thank you for that input. That makes sense.
