Hey all! After a lot of research, headaches,and a recent success I thought I’d share some info with you. If you’re looking into aftermarket 16x8 wheels I can tell you that the American Racing Baja 172 wheels DO NOT clear the front breaks, however the Mickey Thompson Classic iii look very similar and DO fit just fine. The MTs are even hub centric (106.1mm) and do not require any kind of hub centric rings. Why this is so confusing is that they both have the same specs (0mm offset, 4.5 inch backspacing) Some 16x8s can be hard to fit on the 2nd and 3rd gen Tacoma’s due to those front calipers so if you were looking at classic style 16s the MTs, although a bit more pricey, will fit. The American Racing wheels will fit the 1st gen Tacos I believe. IMG_0741.jpgIMG_0742.jpg
