There are two brake 'sizes' on the 3rd gens. Sport package has nothing to do with it. (4th gen Sport package does have larger front discs, which might be where you saw that)
Factory 15" wheel vs 16" wheel is the difference. Don't trust the door sticker, you need the original window sticker or a VIN report from Toyota/a dealer to know. Most 4Runners (especially 4WDs) are 16" wheel trucks.
You can downgrade - but to keep things balanced you would want to also downgrade the rear wheel cylinders (drums and shoes are the same) too. Having run 15" wheel brakes on 32" tires, I'd suggest you avoid it...
With 16" wheels though, you shouldn't need to downgrade. If the wheels are hitting the calipers, get spacers. You won't hit the hoop of the wheel with stock brakes, only the spokes and spacers will fix that right up.
