I think you may be thinking of a 3rd gen 4runner, if yours came with 16's stock, and you put 15's on, then they will rub on the brakes.

I guess it depends on the wheel,

But I had to do some trimming to the plastic center cap for them to fit over my ADD Hubs. These were Tundra wheels.



Since the trimming, the gray paint has flaked away from around the holes I trimmed. Looks kinda crappy, actually. I wish I would have kept my original Enkie wheels, but finding center caps for them proved impossible.

Plus, these Tundra wheels and BFG's were brand new take-offs, and I picked 'em up for $350. After 20K miles, no noticable wear.

Backspacing may be an issue depending on what size tires you are running. If you are sticking with the stock size you should have no issues.
