    Your fine. If anything you would need to shave a mm or 2 off the A arm. There are a number of owners that have a 15'' black rock wall steel rim. Names that come to mind and galleries to search would be I think Tone's with the TSL sand/street tires, and Jofotoz.

    EDIT: Oh and there is someone with an IronMan with bronze Tacoma wheels.

    so lets see if i've got this figured out...

    stock vx wheels are 18x7 with 38mm (1.5") offset... that means the wheels stick out 1.5" past the hub, and protrude 5.5" into the wheel well

    if i were to get steel wheels that are 15x8 with 5" backspacing.. the wheels will stick out 3" past the hub and 5" into the wheel well...

    got offered 4 steel wheels for 60 bucks...
