you have to grind a bit of the rear brake caliper away (wait for the 16's)

I have a 94 with 15s. Just took a little meat of the calipers with angle grinder. Sounds harsh, but you do not need to take much off. Did it 2 years ago and no problems since. Mind you when I put new pads on the back I did have to take a little more off. I doubt anyone would even notice the diffenerence if they took the wheel off and looked at them.
Cheers,
Stinger

If you buy 15x8 steel rims to suit the navara, they will come in an offset that is almost no need to grind calliper....wider....like the old 40 series, about 3 inch backspace

I run 15 x 8 Mickey Thompson classic 11`s on mine 93 GXL and I had to remove some metal, unless you realy knew what you were looking at you`d never notice. Done this about 2 or 3 years ago and never had any problems.
