Whats the deal with the calipers?

So i have been looking around at many diff aftermarket wheels to run, but keep running into the same problem. Most people i talk to say that i cannot run a 16" wheel because it will not clear the caliper. Some say that i can, and others say it depends on the wheel. I have a NON TRD 07 PreRunner and am very confused. I have read threads on a few forums regarding the matter but keep getting the same run around. I want to run a 16" due to more tire options and lower tire prices, but i dont want to run a heavy steelie. I was looking at ATX Teflons namely the mojace or chamber, but dont really want to bump up to a 17".

So is it possible to run a 16" on my truck and clear the calipers? If it depends on manufacturer, maybe throw out some names that will clear?

I just want to get a solid answer before i spend a heap of cash on some wheels and tires only to find they dont fit or i could have run a smaller wheel.

 

I wanted 16x8 chrome spoke wheels for my Tacoma. Like you I read everything I could find and talked to alot of wheel makers. No one knew anything. No one had these wheels locally. I found the wheels I wanted at Summit Racing, I called and talked to tech support. They let me order one wheel to check for fit stating that if it didn't fit they would send a pick-up order for it and refund my money.
I ended up making 1/8"steel spacers and still having to grind the caliper some.
If you can find the wheels you like locally I would have them try one and see if it fits.
Good luck.

 

Here ya go.....

I bought Pro Comps polished 1069's 16" 4.0 backspace. They clear diameter wise but I will have to grind a tad off the face of the caliper.

The above list shows which wheels fit and which don't.

 

See, i have read that thread as i am a TTORA member also, and thats why i was going to go with the ATX Chambers. Dealers and AR say they wont fit, but people are running them without issue so maybe ill just bite the bullet. Maybe i can get a test fit before i buy em.

 

i'll let you know in a few days. 4 each of these (1st 2 pics) will be here wednesday. the 3rd pic is the chamber pro,,, bad ass mo fo right there and it will fit

 

yep they fit nicely on my truck, 17x9 on 33" km2's
