16x8 fit?

Will 16-in wheels fit a 1999 Off-Road that came with 17-in wheels? The truck has four-wheel disc brakes, and my concern is whether or not the 16's will clear the caliper's. I am considering 16x8's with 285/75R16's. Thanks.

I have 16x8's with the same size tires on mine and all I had to do was trim the plastic mud flaps in the front fender wells. No clearance problems for me.

Yes, 16" is the smallest diameter that will fit. Your truck has the same brakes as a regular 4x4 with factory 16" wheels.
