ktown z Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Anyone out there have the toyota 4X4 vented brakes with a set of rota RB's. I recently purchased a set of brakes and I can't use them with my 14 inch rims. I will be purchasing a set of 16 or 17X7 with a 4 mm offset and was wondering will it clear the caliper? Also do I need longer wheel studs with these rims? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I don't have the 4x4 caliper but I can confirm that the RB have a lot of room for caliper clearances. See pics attached of a set of Rota RB 15x8 +12. Also the RB-R also have more than enough room too. However I have found that the RB centre bore is not quite large enough to sit flush on the hub so I am currently running a 1/4" spacer however later next week I plan to remove my front hubs and turn them down (only at the base where they tapper out this is the issue and we are talking under 1mm). I am going to mod the hub not the rim as this way only 2 hub need changing not 4 rims (or if like me you plan to have another set for wets then 8 rims) Hope this helps.

ktown z Posted January 16, 2008 Author Share Posted January 16, 2008 Thanks for the reply! By looking at the pics it looks as if the rims would fit around the caliper. I wonder if anyone else has the same problem with the front hubs not fitting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZeder Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 The not fitting is the RB-R these one in the pic shown (standard RB's) have no issues. And I fixed it today - the issue was a coat of paint - that is all - well that and the casting of the hub. If you look at a stock hub it has rough casting and these high spots were the issue (with the thick coat of paint) so I remove the disc, and studs (as I was going to install longer wheel studs anyway) and then just hit the hub with a file to smooth out the casting marks then just painted black from a can all good now - this might have just been my hubs as when I did a search on this site for the hub sizing a found that they vary from 72.9mm to 72mm so mine just might have had a few more high spots than others. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sideways Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Sorry to bump such an old thread- But im running the vented set up myself and am going to get myself a set of the 16x8 +4 RBs myself, and am curious to know about this- Anyone have a solid answer if they will fit without issues with those brakes? I do have a 1" spacer (to run my 14s) so if i need a spacer its not an issue, but itd e nice to be able to run it without it if its possible. Curiousity is getting the best of me.
