Fitting 17" Wheels On 4G - No Issues With Clearance! | 4th Gen Tacoma Forum

Hey guys. Anyone else running a bumper with a winch? I have a small fan (maybe some kind of sensor) on my truck I haven't seen on the C4 install guide. It's probably because I have a hybrid, is my guess. But it seems that it will interfere with my winch. I'm thinking I can just relocate it somewhere along the support. Any reason not to? Anyone know exactly what this little thing is? Image for reference below. I circled it in red.

Hey everyone. I know wheels are a big topic that a lot of people look into upgrading. Personally, while the 18" wheel my OR had from factory didn't look bad, I like to see as much tire sidewall as possible. 17" wheels help here. The tires are also usually cheaper. No clearance issues at all. Plenty of caliper clearance. These are Lock Off-Road Combats if anyone is curious!
