I've got some wheels and tires from the suburban I just got rid of that I'd like to put onto my 06 DC Tundra 4wd.
They are American Racing Wagon Wheels wearing 265/75r16's.
The center hub hole is big enough and the bolt pattern is the right size to fit.
The problem is that when I put the wheels on they rub on the front brake caliper. Not much, I probably need less than 1/8" to clear the rubbing. I dont really have the money to put into new rims and wheels right now and I'd like to put the steel wheels on before I break the alloy rims, which I seem to do alot.
On to the Question phase of our program...
1. How much clearance do you need between the wheel and the caliper?
2. I've thought of using spacers but never have before. Could this be the solution/ a problem?
3. I've also thought of grinding a groove into the backside of the steelies, but think that might be a bad idea for rebalancing.
4. Got any other ideas for me?
