Hey I was wondering if anyone knows if I can put 15" wheels (15x8) on a 2002 TRD that came with 16x7's from the factory. The main reason is that the 15" tires and wheels are a lot cheaper than the 16" wheels my Taco came with. Any input is appreciated!

Yes, you can fit 15" wheels on an '02.

Thanks Bryan...is there any certain backspacing I need? I was just going to get some of those el cheapo black 15x8 rims and 31x10.50 mudders.

You will need to do carefull research on your wheel selection. I run the MT line with no problem. Some black steelies will not clear. It has more to do with the taper inside the center section of a wheel than with BS. The black steel wheels with the "D" shaped windows are known to not clear. I use a cheap white wagon wheel that fits great. A little blast and spray and I could make a set of black steelies that fit. . I recomend you test fit the wwheel on a front hub prior to purchase. I once composed a list of wheels that fiot but unfortuanetly I cannot find it at this time.

I have a 02' and ran the 15x8 black steels from summit,I only had to grind a cunts hair off the caliper for no rubbing.

Which 15" from MTs fit? I hear people running the MT IIs I like the other model they have with they bolts around the edge. No sure what they are called. Would those fit?

Those are the immitation beadlocks and are just a modifiedclassic II wheel. They will git.

I think the ones I was gonna get were called rockcrawlers...they were on 4wdparts.com for about 40 bucks a piece. I think they had 3.75" backspacing

Which wheels from summit are you running on yours?

 

[ocdp2000]

the rockcrawlers with the D window do not fit ,they will not clear the caliper. if you just want some nice 15" black steelies get these ones. i have an '02 and i didnt have to do anything to them, they fit perfect as is. they are made for tacomas and look fantastic. alot of peeps on here run them including me.

and if you want to see what they look like on an 02 just click the picture in my signature below, those are BFG 32 MT's they are mounted on

 

[Smith4190]

Those wheels from wheelers are just what I've been looking for. Since I plan on lifting my truck soon I guess I'll have to get the type b backspacing so I can run 33x12.50's on it.

 

[ocdp2000]

yup, exactly correct. i love the rims. also if you ever have any questions , wheelers are great about answering any concerns you have about the rims or anything else they carry.

 

[MadMaxz]

so the rockcrawler series 51 at 4wheelparts do not fit?

 

[ocdp2000]

nope, it hits the caliper. i tried it, both 15 and 16". do yourself a favor and get the wheelers ones, its way less of a headache.

 

[jbstrd]

Yes, you can fit 15" wheels on an '02.

Nice tires dude!!

 

[Bryanccfshr]

I am running a 265/70/17 combo basically a 32X11.5R17 tire wheel pkg from discount with full roadhazard warranty just at 1k. Id show a pick but the truck and wheels are dirty from all of the rain. I would seriously recommend you check out the Nitto terra grappler tires. Price on a set of 4 for 16 inch wheels is actually right under 500 bucks with warranty.

These wheels in 17"
