well it's hard for me to stick my pinky in that picture, but no

the closest spot is not the flat part of the caliper but the edge
the spindle bottom is not that much farther away from the inside edge either

Ok, for the sake of clarity (and I know it was already posted), this is what the "EDGE PLUS" Rims look like:

If you have a 2003(or newer), and a 4x4, then it you'll have clearance problems. That's why your 2003 (or newer) 4x4 came with 16 inch wheels.

most any aftermarket wheel with about 3 inches of backspacing

Wheels that will fit pre 2003 4x4 (this is you) and any year 2WD:
any 5 on 4.5 wheel

Makes me feel a little better about my wheels since it sounds like your wheels are close in some spots also.

Or factory steel wheels. 2005 XLT and XL regular cab 4WDs come stock with 15" steel wheels.
