    Just bought some 33x12.50x15 wheels with brand new tires for a really good price. unfortunately after spending half the day pressure washing and polishing them they won't fit. Looks like the caliper is hitting the inside of the rim. Is there anyway around this? Or did I just dig my own trench? Thank you

    Welcome to TW. The smallest wheel that came with the 6lug Tacoma was a 16". You are probably sol.

    Check My Sig.
    Does the OP have a chance if he were to run wheel spacers?

    Not the preferred solution but figured I'd ask.

    I'm running 1.5" spacers and they still won't fit. Its so close though! I read that some people grind there calipers down a little bit to get the clearance but that sounds kinda risky. I should be able to sell them and get my money back just kinda bummed cause there really nice wheels
