Split the calipers and have spacers made that give you the extra
width. Thats 
what I had to do one time to a set of Jaguar calipers to make
them work with 
vented rotors. The old Jag. calipers are what we are required
to run on our SCCA 
TR6s.

All the wider Toyota
calipers I have found that suit vented rotors, have
bigger caliper pistons
resulting in too much stroke of the TR6 master cyl..
I have found versions
with 2 x large & 2 x smaller  pistons and others with
4 large pistons. The
total piston area in all of these is much bigger than
the stock TR caliper.
The early hilux/4-runner ones made for solid rotors
have differential size
pistons that are almost identical in total piston
area to a TR caliper. I am
trying to find calipers with the smaller pistons,
that are made for vented
rotors.
The excellent article entitled "toyota brake install" by Lee Janssen
does
not deal with this issue.
