0" Backspace rims or Spacers?

[Mista_Shrpnl]

Ok, so my Runner utilizes 16" rims, to clear the Rotor/Calipers up front...I dont like that, as it limits me on tires and such (wheelin on a budget) when looking for used, or deals, not to mention overall sizes.

so, Ive decided to downsize to a 15" rim to help me out, but will have to either use a wheel spacer or 0" BS rim...

would there be any pros/cons of either?

and just where can I find a 0" BS rim..I cant seem to find any

run a spacer and/or if possible grind your calipers for clearance, which is a common thing people do when trying to run 15" wheels on alot of dana 60's

Yeah, grind away the calipers a bit... They'll be fine...

what year 4runner are you working with, and what axles, whats your current backspacing. Summit racing can special order wheels but i think they only go 1 1/2" back spacing. I've got 2 ' backspaced wheels and theres not a lot of materal to weld the centers on if they went any farther.

its an 01, running stock axles...for now. I believe the current BS is 3.75.

I think Im going to do as suggested, and grind the calipers and run spacers.

the less backspace you have the more your bearings are gonna posativly hate you. grind the calipers, your better off.

have you even tried a 15" wheel? checked it for clearance.

yes. It binds on the caliper...granted you could true it to the hub.
