Default Will Tacoma TRD Wheels Fit?

I been eyeing these set from the local Craiglist. But I am not exactly sure if they will fit. I believe the hub is slightly smaller? Unable to pull any information on these wheels and no one seems to have them on their GX.

I have those exact wheels on my GX amd they look nice. However, they will very slightly rub your front calipers. I shaved mine just a few mm and its been great. Gotta love new car takeoffs. The Toyo tires are quiet enough and no grip issues. I paid $800 for my set so youre right there.

Looks great! Any chance you have a photo of the shaved calibers? I would like to see.

Also, any reason why you did not opt in for a 5mm spacer instead of shaving the calipers? A 5mm will still allow you to use your existing lugs nuts.

Well, right after I bought them from a guy on craigslist, I rolled in to discount tire to install. The calipers rubbed so slightly that they didn't notice during install. As I pulled out of there I heard some slight scraping during turning. I saw a maybe 1mm groove on the inside of the front rims. I liked the way the wheels looked on the car so I allowed them to create the clearance it needed. Its no big deal on the rusty aftermarket calipers the previous owner replaced the originals with. As far as the spacers, I dont know if that would have solved the issue or not, maybe. Either way, it rides smooth at all speeds.

Im surprised the wheel rubbed. The TRD wheel has 15 offset (according to a few ebay posting) compared to stock at 25. So the TRD would be further away from the calipers. Maybe the aftermarket calipers is the reason. Either way, thanks for all the inputs.

The tops of the calipers rubbed on the inside of the rim. It wasnt the spokes/hub contacting the side of the calipers which is what offset would correct.
