Exclamation Can't Find This With 6 Lug?!?!

So I want these Cragar Soft 8 15x8 wheels. I can only find them with 5 lug but need 6 and I have seen people with 6 lug ones. Also people have said there might be a Brake Caliber rubbing problem. With this still occur with 1.5 inch SpiderTrax wheel spacers? One more question though, will I be able to run these wheels with 31 or 33.10.50's? Thanks!

I am driving a White 1996 Toyota Tacoma LX 4x4 Ext. Cab (Auto,3.4 Liter)

Cragars come in pretty much all lug patterns, but not always pictured so. if you buy from someone like summit/jegs for example you have option to change bolt pattern and offsets.

in regards to whether or not they'll fit - depends on which brakes you have on your truck. some tacomas had larger brakes and came with 16" wheels instead of 15" - if this is your truck then yes you will have clearance issues on the brake calipers that spacers will likely not solve (because they don't change circumference). if you currently have 15" then no worries.

for the two tire sizes you question - you can run those both on stock spec'd wheels for your truck...but IMO if you are buying new wheels, get wider ones that someday you can put a 12.5 wide tire on since they're the standard width for 33"+ tire sizes (vs 10.5" width for 31" and smaller)

@highonpottery Thanks! Literally just found them on Jeg's. I currently have 15 inch rims on there so I guess there will be no problem with the Brake Caliper rubbing. I don't plan on going over a 33 inch tire since I still want it to be a good daily and stuff. Should I go ahead and look in to the Cragar Soft 8 15x10 wheel then with a 33x12.50R15 Tire? I am going to lift it 2.5 inches with a suspension lift and still put 1.5 inch wheel spacers on it. I just don't want it to rub anything bad and not have to put a lot of money in to it.

i would personally choose a 15x8 even with a 12.5" tire, so there's extra force on the bead to keep it seated, and to give slightly extra sidewall bulge to protect wheel face. i'm not a big fan of the 10" wide wheels just in terms of looks, but that's an aesthetics and not a functional opinion. both technically work.

most 33s are 33x12.5 unless you get one of the few brands which make tires in 33x10.5 size. also remember the concept of re-gearing for larger tires.

there are thousands of people with tacomas running your desired setup. my suggestion is to look at pics online, especially build threads, and see if it influences your decision.
