16" Rim Questions

Swowie · 01-01-07, 02:16 PM

I need someone's help. I was putting on my new wheels yesterday and was totally surprised

to find out that 3 of my wheels are of wheel 1 style (see attached photo) and 2 were of wheel 2 style. I didn't know that this was possible. 2 of the same style rims having different lug nots required. I took photos of the lug nuts I have and was wondering if either one will fit wheel 2 style. I know lug A goes with wheel 1 but will lug B go with wheel 2? Help please!

you have mixed year wheels, the early wheel had a steel insert and a conical seat and takes the conical lug nut.

the later wheel has a washer type and a flat seat with no steel insert.

the two diffrent types also take a diffrent torque. of the top of my head something like 75 for washer style and 105 for conical.

Thank you! I didn't know there were any differences.

Factory aluminum wheels are torqued 76 ft.-lbs.

So... My wife's red '96 has the proper '96 wheels on it with the washer lugs. I torque it to ~76 ft-lbs in 2 increments.

My grey '96 has wheels off of a '94 with seated acorns. I've been torquing it to 85 ft-lbs in 2 increments. Are the wheel studs the same? I.e. should I be torquing mine to 105 ft-lbs? I've not been quite sure where to set the '96 with older wheels.

The PO put real sucky chrome aftermarkets on my grey one. I finally got them replaced with real Land Cruiser wheels this year.

studs are the same. I would like to hear from soemone with a 93/94 FSM before you go with 105 though. that was from memory.

Please... Someone post it up. I have the FSM for '96, but since I'm off-year on these, I've never been 'sure'.

Thank you. I suppose I should go out and torque down my '94 rims on my '96 to 109... That seams like a LOT of torque though.

The owners manual for my 1994 LC says 108 ft. lbs. torque.

edit: I have the style B lug nuts (pictured above) ala acorn style.
