Not unless you get wheel spacers or shave the inside face of the rims a little.

Which Tundra kit? I believe the 199 will work but not the 231.

You're right, I believe the 199s will work.

Right. But they also fit with the 16" 5 Stars. (assuming it's the 231 Tundra kit). The 199 kit will fit with the Split Spokes.

Not necessarily^. It's not the diameter of the wheel that matters (any 16s or 17s will clear the Tundras that way). But the Tundra calipers stick out past the mounting flange on the hub, so if the other mounting flange (on the wheel itself) is too close to the inside face of the wheel, the face will hit the caliper before it's sitting flat on the flange. Hope that makes sense.
Another option is to just run wheel spacers with 3 spokes. They will push the inside face of the rim away from the caliper.

Ok Brian so your saying that it will fit depending on my backspaceing on the wheel? Another thing i could get 1" wheel spacers and be fine either way right?

It's not really the BSing. BSing is how far the inside edge (not face) of the wheel is from the mounting flange of the wheel. For instance, I have 4" BS on my Cragars (which you'd think would clear the Tundras just fine since they stick out 5/8" more than stock wheels), but they don't clear the Tundras without spacers because the inside face of that wheel is still too close.

No line upgrade, just the calpiers, pads and rotors. I used the 5 spoke 99 and up wheels to clear mine. Worked great and they look better than my old corroded 97 wheels anyway.

You'll have to shave down the inside of the wheel to use them. Go with either the 5 stars or some 17" Tundra, Sequioa wheels. Or go with the 199 kit and keep your wheels.
