Tire fitment question

I just order the Mickey Thompson sidebiter wheel and I heard that there are issues with fitting them on some toyota's. Does anyone know anything about this and if you do what years do they not work. I just heard it has to do with the brakes and I am freaking out. Thanks

you need to specify the size of the wheel, year of your truck, and anything else that will determine if the wheel wont fit (wheel adapters, aftermarket calipers, etc...)

thats the wheel i want (16x8 with a 4.5 BS)
i dont know what you ordered but i will want to know how this ends up.
i've had a couple wheels not clear the outside face of the brake calipers and i'm running 1/4" wheel spacers with ET style lugnuts now.

Ok so basically there is only a 3" pro comp lift kit on it 33" tires, wheels 15x8 and BC: 6 @ 5.5. Everthing else is pretty much stock on a year 94 toyota in pic.

If you have an issue with clearance, I bet it wouldn't be a big problem. Nothing a grinder can't fix

6x5.5 is the lug pattern on the wheel, backspacing is the measurement from the mounting surface to the inside lip of the wheel

wheels should fit...not sure why they wouldnt. If they are causing problems with your brakes, you can easily fix that. Wouldn't worry about it too much.

Alright, thanks guys. I found out that I can use spacers if i do have any issues, not that I really want to. I dont know if it will put more stress on my front end but we will see. The only reason why I was worried is because I ordered them and had them shipped and they are putting the sim-u-locks on them and if they dont fit I would be PO'ed lol... thanks
