Upgraded brakes, now need to upgrade wheels. Oops

[KelOfTheRockies]

So, I installed 2002 Tundra rotors and calipers on my 96 SR5. Had to modify dust guard, but otherwise uneventful...

Until I went to put the wheels back on. I thought I had wheels that would clear the new-and-improved calipers, but ...no.

I was planning on new wheels in the future - the stock ones are pretty corroded - and would really appreciate some guidance on which wheels are the right ones for this upgrade.

Craigslist has a full set of brand new wheels and tires at a fair price. They are for 2007 SR5 and described as:

"7Jx17 ET15 6x139.7 ALLOY WHEEL; 17 X 7; 6 LUG; 5.5 INCH BOLT PATTERN; 6 SPOKES"

Will these work? My vehicle documentation says the wheels are 16X7JJ. (BTW, I have 1/4" spacers in place to drive it for now.)

Thanks for your help with this!

I assume the CL ad means these:

Yes, they'll fit with the TBU. See this thread for verification: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-g...ements-231mm-13wl-tundra-calipers-rotors.html

That is close, but the ones in the ad have more angles

Any factory Toyota 17" 4Runner/tundra wheel will work. I have those on mine.

They definitely clear Tundra brakes...I installed a set on a Tundra

Thanks, Link & Ed.

I appreciate the help. Link, that is a beautiful ride! the Red with silver fender was what i was looking for, but had to settle for black with a new engine due to my daily driver being dead in my driveway.

thank you so much for the input. I think i'll go with a different craigslist offer, though. was reading about the tires on the wheels and seems they're pretty crappy.

Much grateful for this forum!
