I have a Navara 04 Dual cab and last year i tried to put "15 sunraysia rims on and they missed out by about 2mm because of the front brake calibers where to big.
I have read on another
forum that a guy put on ROH Trak "15 rims on a 03 Navara and did not have the same problem.
Can somebody please comfirm this for me as i really wont the "15 and i dont wont to grind the cailbers if i can help it.

With the Sunraysia type wheels- make sure you specify the Navara offset. I have a Rodeo- and the first set I had the same probs.....After speaking to the wheel guy- he advised it was the Navara offset I needed...
He exchanged the 'wrong' ones for me.. and since then no probs....

Make sure the rims are manufactured for the vehicle. I used to own a Jackaroo and nobody made steel rims that both fitted and were legal. That left me looking at $625 for holdern supplied steel rims to suit. That was for one not a set. One dealer got me in a set of Sunraysia Pajero rims but when I fitted them they fit ok but they changed the track width too much and were therefore not legal. At the time my insurance policy specifically mentioned illegal mods nullifing the policy. As already mentioned it is the offset that stuffs you up. I did find a place that would make the rims to your specification for less than holdern were after.

An option might be to fit a set of 6mm wheel spacers from Superior Engineering.
I had the same problem fitting ROH rims to the back axle on a Holden Frontera.
Adding the spacers pushed the wheels out far enough to give a couple of mm clearance.
Spacers are $20 ea, plus postage - a cheap solution.
Do a Google search on Superior Engineering and you'll find their website. (They're based on the north side of
Brisbane.)

Wheel spacers are also illegal for on-road use - In QLD anyway...
