Help with tundra swap

Hey guys , so i have been trying to do the tundra brake swap , problem is am from costa rica and getting the parts is a bit difficult. So i am going to buy them from the web, and currently i have the stock 15" rims and i know the calipers wont fit on those so i wanted to know if you guys ( those who have performed the change) could help me out by taking some pics of how the rims look and everything am looking to get 16" rims . Thing is i know an agressive stand looks better and everything but i cant have the tires sticking out of the plastic moulding (flares) so it would be awesome if you guys could tell me if they stick out , how much or if they dont stick out at all , plus which are the rims you guys are using . Basically i have the black sr5 flares but if you guys tell me X rim with tires is covered by the limited i would try and get them .

Thanks

If i'm reading this correctly you are worried about the tires sticking out past the fender flares due to swapping from 15 in to 16 in rims. If you are sticking with stock rims I don't foresee a problem. It's the rim width you would be worried about not the rim diameter.


Just need to find out the specs of the rims you plan to use. Are you using stock toyota wheels?
 
Am looking at any kind of wheels , I currently posses stock 15 toyota ones however they don't fit over the tundra brakes so I wanted to get 16" rims which didn't need spacer, thing is I am worried about back spacing since it can make the rims , the whole tire move out a tad meaning it would be past the fender flares , and that in my country is illegal , that's why I need to get rims that are 16 which can be used with the tundra upgrade plus they don't stick that much out . Am looking to buy some aftermarket ones that's why I am asking if any of you guys used ones which didn't stick out that much or didn't stick out at all

Thanks

The stock back spacing toyota wheels wont move the tire out at all. Most of the 4runner 16's clear the tundras except the older split tri star type like my truck has. Here is a picture of the rims you DONT WANT TO BUY!

Before and After pics.
