So, you want to upgrade the braking on your 1st gen Tacoma (or 4Runner), and you're wondering which wheels will fit the larger calipers and rotors? Hopefully, over time, this page can become a comprehensive list of wheels that generally work.
What's the Issue?
The only reason this page is necessary is that some early 1st gen Tacoma's (pre-2001) shipped from the factory with 15" wheels. 3rd gen 4Runners always had 16" rims, but not all of them fit the larger calipers. Tundra's on the other hand always shipped with 16" or larger rims that obviously fit the larger Tundra 13WL calipers.
Slightly complicating the situation, many 16" rims will fit, but not all. Confusion ensues.
Wheel Fitment
The fitment of the following wheels has been confirmed by the community. I should note that Fits: Yes simply means that the larger caliper clears without a spacer. It may still be that spacers are beneficial for other reasons - like tire rub on the frame when turning. If you have a wheel that you can confirm fitment (or non-fitment) of, please let me know and I'll add it to the list.
Additionally, if you'd like to test an unlisted wheel that you already have, prior to purchasing Tundra brake parts, you can follow these instructions to print a template that will indicate fitment.

Checking 13WL Fitment Using a Printable Template
If the wheel you'd like to use with Tundra 13WL calipers is not listed on this page, you can use the instructions below to check fitment. Please report back your findings. And thanks to @mechanicjon for coming up with the templates in the first place!
- Print out the appropriate template on a sheet of 8.5"x11" paper. [13WL fitment template] [13WL w/1.25" spacer fitment template]
- Glue the template to a piece of cardboard larger than the template itself.
- Cut out the template/cardboard along the outline.
- Place the template inside the wheel, aligning it with the center bore as shown below. If the template does not touch the wheel except at the center bore, Tundra 13WL calipers should fit.
Hey,
My truck came stock with the 15" rims. I have 1.5" spacers on to prevent frame rub after my lift and 33" tires using the template on the spacers on my tire would be a way to check the fit? Has anyone tested this yet? Or will they be to shallow.
Thank you
You can definitely try the templates, but my suspicion is that you'll find they don't fit with 15" wheels, since they don't fit even with some 16" wheels. A better bet (the way a lot of folks go) is to buy some 16" (or 17") wheels on craigslist or marketplace, and then sell yours the same place, once you've swapped.
Ya, I’m pretty sure you’re correct. Found a couple more forum posts after I posted this. Going to have to wait on the upgrade as I just bought 5 tires... Thanks for the response.
Dan,
Thanks again for the great write up on Tundra Brake Upgrade. I finished mine and am very pleased. I also ended up installing a new master cylinder and getting a professional vacuum brake bleed. Brakes are now awesome!
I did your line kit plus the Amazon Callahan CCK11988 FRONT Powder Coated Red [2] Calipers + [2] Rotors + Quiet Low Dust [4] Ceramic Pads Performance Kit.
For your chart, I have HELO H878 16x9 from TireRack, and everything fits and clears this rim.
Awesome, great to hear Scott!
Can I upgrade my brakes and continue using my '99 Tacoma's 15 " OEM wheels?
Hey Chris, No you cannot use 15" wheels with upgraded brakes - at least not with Tundra 13WL or 13WE calipers (and the associated other components).
