    I'd love to have a set of these wheels for my 2011 DCSB 4x4 SR5, the machined silver ones. They come in 16x8, zero offset, which would technically fit. However, the American Racing site says they don't fit, while a couple of other sites say "guaranteed fit". I stopped in to a local truck custom shop, who does mostly wheels, tires and suspension stuff. The sales guy was very helpful, called several of his suppliers looking for wheels that fit, and asked one dealer about why the AR 23 doesn't fit my truck. It has something to do with a small lip on the inside edge of the wheel that supposedly interferes with the brake rotor.

    Does anyone have firsthand knowledge or experience that these wheels do or don't fit the 2011 Taco? This is what they look like.

    Grind off said small lip and you should be good to go. When in doubt grind it out. But that's how I make shit fit and what works for some doest work for others.
