15 inch wheel???

Im wondering if 15 inch wheels will fit on my 1998 4wd 4runner. The truck is all stock. Will I have clearance problems? Thanks for any info!!!!

Oh, by clearance problems, I mean with brakes and such. Just to clear it up.

There is no simple answer to this question unless you have a specific wheel in mind. You could show us a 15" wheel that has 3.5" backspace that would probably work. If you showed us some weird 15" wheel with -4" backspacing that would not work. Make sure you get a wheel and tire set that will not rub suspension components and fenders.

Happy Hunting!

No they will not fit. But some people have done some grinding to make them fit. I would say stick with the 16s.

if you want 15" wheels, call eaton, they make 15" wheels specifically to clear brakes. I guarantee they will fit. I had 15" wheels on my '81 3/4ton chevy using stock brakes, if they can make that work, the 4runner will be a non-issue.
