Fitting 16" Wheels on '05 Axles

[imelmo]

So I want to buy a set of wheels/tires for racing ZMBYKLR in big races where I remove the bumpers, Tiregate, etc... All the tire sizes that I want are in 16" wheel sizes though. That won't fit on the 2005 axles ZMBYKLR has. Can the calipers be ground down enough to clear 16" wheels? Or is there something else I can do to make them fit? Trying to run 33" drag tires with a 16" wheel.

I thought base model 05s came on 16s? Does the truck jave larger brakes or something on it too? Sorry i havent read the build thread on it.

I think it depends on the backspacing if you can fit 16s on the 05-07 axles.

They came with 17", my dad has a base model 2007 and that's what it had. Also, I think you can just buy brakes for an 1999-2004 and put them on your 2005 + and then you can fit the 16"
