why cant you run a 15" rim on a 3rd gen 4runner?

 

Mine came stock with 15'' rims, Miss-information maybe? Unless you have the brake upgrade. I think there was a brake upgrade (bigger rotors) that came form the factory and it came with the 16'' rims.

 

i dont see why you cant, mine came with 15 inch rims, and i replaced them with 15" rims with twice the width

 

well mine came with 16" rims but on the tag on the inside of the door were the vin # is located it states that the vehicle has 15" rims so I am confused becasue ive herd that you cant run 15" rims on 3rd gen 4runners

 

Some of the 4Runners come with bigger brakes (SR5's and Limited's maybe?). At least I can't clear my brakes with 15's.

 

Well the majority of 3rd gen runners came with 16" wheels, and the majority of 4runners with 16" rims came with the big brake package.

So the majority of the majority of 4runners can't. Just measure your front rotos if its 11-5/8 you can run them. If its 12.5" you can't

 

thanks for the help guys

 

if your truck is a limited you can't put on 15s. everything else can.

 

I've got an SR5 and 15" wont work!

To the original poster, just get under your truck and visually inspect your brakes and the clearance between the wheels and calipers. You may/may not be able to fit the 15"

 

I have an sry with a 3.4 and an auto with 4 wheel drive
