Hi there, im trying to find a good deal on rims, and I was wondering if 15 inch rims, will clear my rotors?
Thanks

Probably not. About that time most manufacturers were moving toward the 16" and 17" rims in order to have larger brake sets on the vehicles.

Not much will fit. Generic 16" wont either. I've got set of 2002 20th anniversary wheels if interested.

I actually wanna get steelies for it, what's the exact back spacing? I know they are 6x5.5 but I can't find the back spacing.

OEM are +46 offset so about 5.5" backspace on 7" wide rim. No generic steelies will fit. They wont clear caliper bracket. Many many moons ago I've tried to fit 16" steelies/alloys from my Gen 2 to my Gen 3. Doesn't work. Your best bet is stock wheels.

Your OEM gen 2 steel wheels were 16"? I thought gen 1/2 rims were all 15" from the factory. At least their aluminum ones are, but never saw the gen 2 OEM steel rims...

No. Gen 2 are not OEM. Gen 3 are. See here http://www.expeditionportal.com/for...ice-Manual-wheels-tires?p=1167878#post1167878

Toyota FJ 17" steel wheels are your friend, too.

Anyone have any idea of the weight of these as compared to OEM alloys?
