Tundra brake upgrade question
Will the 13WL caliper up grade clear the factory 5 spoke rim? Or do I have to get wheel spacers?

If this is the wheel you're asking about, you will NOT need spacers:

Understood. I had those same wheels when I first did the TBU, and I'm absolutely 100% sure that they do clear the 13WL 231mm calipers. It is also confirmed in post 3 of this thread on the TBU:
Hard to find Specs, Info & Measurements on 231mm 13WL Tundra Calipers & Rotors

Not saying I don't believe you - have no idea why your wheels wouldn't clear those brakes when mine did, along with a lot of other folks that have done it.

I withdraw my original post then I accept your experience, along with bigfish's thread as the norm.

mine didn't fit by a gnat's a$$ hair, so there is no telling what the variance was. been running fine, so i am not concerned. maybe subconsciously i just wanted spacers
