I have the larger toyota 4x4 brakes and have no problems. Right now I do not have my hub dust caps on. I will try to alter them later. If anyone knows of dust cap alternatives let me know. I would like to keep those centercaps.

Very nice! I love the look of these. Let us know if you figure out an alternative for the dust caps. I'd hate to run without them.

Which Toyota brakes are you running, the vented, or non-vented? How much clearance is there between the caliper face and the wheel? What brand of tires did you go with?

I love the color of your new rims, the anthracite fits in perfectly with the forest green. Good job dude!

I have non vented rotors. 1 inch clearance between front face (parellel with wheel)of brake and inside face of wheel. My tires are Falken Ziex 512.

That's good news. The vented rotor swap should fit fine. Have you had them on long enough to know if they rub the fender lips front or rear?

I went out this weekend and so far so good. Rear is fine and has plenty of room. The fronts are close to my valance but I have not felt, seen or heard the tire hit it. I will go for a little more of a spirited drive and if it a new problem rises I will post. The closest part is the lower perch. It is 1/4 inch or so from the tire where it seats with the wheel. The tire shop said if it doesnt rub now it shouldnt later.

Try backing down a hill with a hard turn, like out of a driveway. Or backing and turning hard on to a side hill. Usuall the right front has additional caster, so back to the right as if turning to the left. If I am going to rub, those are the conditions where I will rub.

Those wheels are tempting!

I wonder how that would look on 110 red? It sure is nice on dark green.

Nice pick!

Damn I wish these came in a 16 but 15 will have to do. 225/50 in the front but what about the rear?

I am wondering the samething? I just wanna be able to fit a 235/60/15 on the back.

Well I ended up buying 16x8 (+0mm offset) and 245/50/16 tires on all 4 corners.
