Ok, Heres the thread to show you blokes that may be interested in this mod on how to do it. I dont promise that it will fit all 16" wheels, no doubt wheel offset would have a part to play in it but for those of you keen enough (like myself) to spend some time doing R&D in your garage with this, here is the lowdown on it.
This mod has been done on the LCOOL Forum, and it suited a 16x8 ROH Trak II wheel, so I dont see there should be too much of a problem on a 16x8 Dynamic wheel with zero offset like myself and some other run.

Going by the website linked above, the removed 2 to 3 mm of "meat" off the caliper. They at the time of the report had travelled 10,000km without any problems.
And here is a picture of a Prado with 16x7 sunraysias and 265/75x16's fitted to it.
The Prado brakes are exactly the same as the ones fitted to the TRD hilux which is why the TRD Hilux runs the 17x7.5" Mag wheel so they can clear the larger front brakes without any problems or modificiations required.

You could save abit of money by ringing around Toyota Wreckers for a set of low kilometre calipers. I rang two of them and got prices of $130 per caliper and $150 per caliper respectively...alot less than the close to $700 that toyota will charge you for a new caliper each.
On the same note, you could also get a set of front discs from the wrecker that have lowish kilometres on them, get em machined and they will will still be fine for many kilometres to come. When they wear out, then you get some decent slotted and/or cross drilled discs.
