on what vehicle bro?

in the case of the cruisers i know you can get away with grinding the callipers carefully bit by bit untill you have clearance not the flashest way of doing things but i have done it in the past and worked sweet as

What offset are the rims, an what calipers have ya got on the back? Ive got hilus solid calipers on the back an larger ifs surf ones on the front, wheels clear the rear calipers by miles on the back but only just on the front

[firestonecruiser]

its a 93 cruiser and apparently toyota put on bigger callipers the rims are a -19 offset problem with gring is that it catches where callipers are bolted

get some 10 or 15mm wheel spacers

[firestonecruiser]

tried 10mm spacers n didnt work so i now have a cheep set of 35s n new rims for sale. dont want to make money on them just cover costs. $1800 the lot.

take the tyres off and get the rims centers moved to get clearances or reverse the centers on the rim as the outside edge islarger in diameter than the inside redrill the valve and a good paint nobody would be any wiser

cheers

I was given a set of Nissan rims to try on my cruiser and they wouldn't clear the brake calipers.

Traditional steel "speedy" rims will fit. They are the cheapest "new" option. I have 15x8's on my '91 Cruiser.
