    It looks like they should fit but hopefully someone who has them will chime in. I'm running pro comp 7069's in a 15" with no clearance issues, and those have similar offset and backspacing (3.5" bs and -19mm offset)

    15" fit this gen. -19mm offset will push it out the fender quite a bit though, depending on the tire, you might rub when turning now.

    Not enough to have a build thread.
    i was always told youd have to run a spacer to make a 15" clear the caliper, but i could be wrong. Maybe that's only steelies.

    1999-2004 6 lug non vsc trucks can use 15"s no problem. The vsc trucks require 16".

    Standard backspacing is 4.54" with 35mm offset.

    These have 3.74" BS with -19mm offset.

    That means the lip will stick out an additional 54mm from stock, or 2.12", however with the backspacing, pulls the wheel in .8", this all equates to the outter lip of the wheel sticking out 1.32" further then then stock.

    As others have mentioned, you should have no issues with a 15, provided you are running stock brakes you should have no problem. depending on tire size you may have some rub at full lock but ehh, nothing major.

    Dumb question. What's VSC? Vehicle stability control?

    They won't fit your calipers..... if you get the tundra upgrade.

    That is correct. I do believe it was an option after 01, not 100%.

    Correct. The 231mm setup wont fit quite a bit of aftermarket 16's either. Toyota 16's work (ask me how I know :D) The 199mm setup fits most 16's (not going to say all)

    No problemo!

    VSC was optional on some 04's only, at least from what I have seen. There was no option for VSC prior to '04 and there's not much info around on this.
