Will black steel rockcrawlers fit on a 2001 or 2002 Tacoma PreRunner? If yes, then why does the 4WheelParts site say will not fit Tacoma? I have seen these wheels on Tacos, but need a for sure answer before I order them. Thanks.

16"

i'm not looking for 15" wheels though. I want the 16x8 size. Can anyone help?

all i know is that rock crawlers will fit however you need to have about a 1/4" spacer on the front with the 3.75 backspacing wheel.

I have a 98 taco 4x4 and am running 15x8 rockcrawlers.

dont know about the 16"..but i know that the 15x8 97 seris won't fit unless you get a wheel spacer...or shave ur caliper...the 87 15x8 will... they sell them at wheelers

you can always get them test fitted...no biggie...

Hey how much backspacing do you have? Is your truck stock height?

3.75" backspacing. My truck is lifted 3.5" on coilovers. Shaving a mm off a problem area on the caliper isn't anything to tweak about. Just dont take a bench grinder to it.

yea you will have to run 1/4 inch spacers in the front to clear the calipers. thats only the beginning of the headache. you will also have to swap out your front lug studs and put some longer rear toyota lug studs so you have enough threading to put on a lug nut. its a hassle but if you really want those thats what your going to have to do. i just got wheelers black steelies and bolted them on which was easy and cheap. im positive about this too because i went thru what your doing so save yourself some time and learn from mistakes. thats whats so great about this board and the people on it.
if you have any more questions just PM me.

I put on U.S. wheel series 84. I did have to use a 1/4 inch spacer but I didn't have to use longer lug bolts. There was plenty of thread left on them to put on the nuts.

I think the difference is between the 97 and 98 tacos. I have a 97 and had to use spacers, my buddy has a 98 and the same wheels and did not have to use them on the series 84 I beleive.

yea sorry, i meant for his truck, he was asking about 01-02 prerunner. the 01-04's will have the rubbing problem. the early toys seem to have no problems.

Do a search, the 01 and later trucks (the ones that came with 16" wheels stock) have a different brake caliper which makes most black steelies not fit. The wheelers wheels are the best best. It isn't a 15" vs 16" issue, it is how the holes are stamped into wheel that makes them rub.
