Going against the grain?

Ok I have a 98 Taco with the alloys and 31x 10.5 wheels that is being taken back By toyota......I picked up a 93 hilux.....Question is can I swap the 225,75,15 6" wheels on to the Taco, wondering if it will clear the calipers. I would like to keep my newer tires and I like the alloys for the 93.

Thanks

I would just give it a try to find out. If the '93's won't work on the Taco, then see about scoring some used steelies, so that you can keep the alloys.

UPDATE: It hits....maybe a spacer would do it. And that little tire looks goofy as hell.


I did grind the caliper and wheel a little, was worried if I would go to far on caliper so I gave up. 10 hours of work and a couple dicking with trucks need food and shower.
