Will 0mm offset wheels rub on my 82 Pickup?

Will 0mm offset wheels rub on my 82 Pickup?
My old stock steel wheels are getting pretty rusty, and I want to replace them with alloys. The factory wheel size is 14x6.5 with a 5-114.3 bolt pattern and 20mm offset. It's getting harder and harder to find 14" wheels but the American Racing and Raceline models I've looked at both have 0mm offset. Most online wheel size configurators do not even ask for offset, but BB Wheels when I called them told me going from a 20mm offset to 0mm will cause rubbing on the outside of the wheel well, which I don't want. Discount Tire and Raceline claim the 0mm offset wouldn't be a problem though. The new wheels are 6" width vs 6.5" of the factory originals, but that really only accounts for about 6.35mm of the offset difference.

Can you post a part number for the wheels you are looking at? Wheels don't have 0 offset. I'd like to read the discription of those wheels. Post the part number and where you are looking at them. Maybe we can figure it out then.

0mm offset or low offset wheels for this wheel configuration in alloy are quite common actually. Trust me, I even called both AR and RL, and they verified it, as did Discount Tire and Les Schwab.

If you need further verification, here's 16 rims in the 14x6, 5-114.3 config I need from a vendor whom are sticklers about matching offset to your vehicle, and 10 of them are 0mm. Like I said, very common unfortunately for us Toyota owners whom have high offset rims. The only alternative seems to be rims that are very low offset (6mm), or ones that have 15mm to 20mm too much offset.

This is the closest thing I've found in alloys at 6mm offset.

This is what wheelsize.com says my factory wheel specs are... https://www.wheel-size.com/size/toyota/pickup/1982/
So as you can see, I need rims that are 14x6, with a 5-114.3 bolt pattern, and a 67.1mm center bore, and ideally something close to 20mm offset (ET20 spec).
The other closest thing is this... https://www.hubcaphaven.com/p/4799/s...eel-black.html
Wheelsize.com says a 95 Tacoma wheel specs are same as mine, but 34mm offset. https://www.wheel-size.com/size/toyota/tacoma/1995/
My front wheels with current 20mm offset rims sit far closer to the outside of the wheel well than the inside (which clearly shows in my avatar pic), so the Tacoma rims with a thin spacer might come closest to the fit I now have. The rears are perfectly centered. With too little offset, there is no way to adjust. The bottom line is the Ultra Motrosports and OEM Tacoma wheels are both 14mm away from my current offset, but the Tacoma ones are much more practical because the offset is mostly fixable with a spacer, and I have far more clearance on the inside than the outside.
I'm not 100% sure my current rims are even OEM Toyotas. They look nearly identical to pics of OEM 82s I've seen online, but the outer holes in the rim are trapezoid shaped, not round, and there are fewer of them. Can anyone verify if that's a rim variation Toyota used on these older trucks? I'm going to see if Discount Tire or Les Schwab can measure the offset of my current rims just to be sure.

Pictures of what you have now? Its for 2wd or 4wd truck?
You could look at CL for someone selling a spare Taco rim and see if it fits. Ive never heard of taco rims fitting 1st gens without spacers. I do like the more modern look tho, vs bullet holes but thats just me.
0 offset sounds unusual and it looks like you need 10 to 20mm regardless. Those wheel sites make my head spin.
