Help 35's on 15.5" rims rub on Calipers

[tank72]

Any suggestions? would spacers work? I really like the rims.

Wheel spacers might help, but then you run the risk of rubbing on the back of the front inner fender wells when you turn. Do some measuring, and I would suggest not going past 2" wheel spacers because of your ball joints and CVs.

A trend here is the Spidertrax 1.25" wheel spacers, but that might not be enough clearance. I don't know your wheel's back spacing, offset, etc. Try to supply a little more info.

Truck looks great btw! Those are some big tires! And I'm jelly your already in the 35's department

Thats not something we can really just tell you based on that.

Does it rub on the spokes? Then yes spacers should work

Does it rub on the inside circumference of the rim? Depends on how the rim is shaped on the inside and how far it needs to move.

If it's the inner wheel then you can shave the calipers down a bit with a grinder. i shaved an 1/8th of mine for 15s and that worked fine till I did the Tundra upgrade.

x2 on shaving them down. I have yet to you this on a 4runner, but did it quite a bit on Jeeps I used to have.

look at this.

I'm not sure how to measure back spacing. These rims are Allied Wheels. Tires are 35x15.50-15LT Mickey Tompson, Baja Claw.
The arrows show where the caliper is touching the rim circumfrence.

I dont think I'll keep the tires cuz the will rub on front fender. I wass thinking of putting 33's on it but the dang rims rub
:dammit:

Backspacing is distance from the back of the mounting plate on your wheel to the wheels edge.....where you have the yellow arrow pointing.

It's the most simple of problems. 15 minutes with a grinder on each side and they will clear just fine.

35x15.50? Good God MAN! That's gonna rub the UCAs fosho!

Suggestion: find some 17s, go 35x12.50, spidertrax spacers and do the tundra swap. If you want 35's then the Tundra upgrade is gonna be next on your list, HIGHLY recomended. Might wanna prepare for unibal UCAs too.

Go big or go home! And after all is said and done, a few years later your probably gonnawant to SAS it anyways!
