I wanna know about the use of spacers on these wheels as well .. I know that I will need them for my FJ cruiser steelies, they sit in quite a bit. The steelies are the same size, but I wonder if the back space is different than the alloys??
KICK ASS tires BTW .. looks great!

Nice looking! What did you trim the herculiner with? I'm looking to follow those exact lines and your trimmed out edges look nice!

Knowing that the Nittos are 13.5" wide, the flares are removed and they still barely make it past the fenders, I'm gonna guess that he is not using spacers.
AFAIK the steelies and the alloys have the same backspacing.

I just realized that after I posted .. my LX plastic seems like it adds an extra foot on both sides! I guess spacers are cheaper than trying to fill 140 or so holes!

Ineresting Line-X job, especially the rear hatch. But that is by far the best line I have ever seen from the front fender to the front valance. Kudos!

I need them, but only wanted 1/2" to 3/4 spacers, but can't find any ... I'm gunna settle on 1" spacers. Hope it doesn't look goofy ...
Rubs at full turn on the front radius arms, and on flex on the left rear frame (don't have adjustable panhards yet)
Thank you !!!!!

Thank you for all the great compliments ...
The trim is molding from Pep Boys ... I actually found a smaller version of it that I think will look a little nicer ...
Yeah, I need spacers. From what I gathered, the FJ rims (all of them) were the same backspacing as the 80's, but maybe a tad more  That's why I liked them, regardless, I need some spacers when I start running trails again ...

X2 on the great lining job, esp the roof. gives it a pickup looking profile. what did you edge the sides with?

hahaha ... No gears now ... Working on that! 4.88's would be back to stock, 5.29's are really low ...
But it's flat around here, so not too bad for now ...

Yeah, J's all around, with the L shocks .. I'm moving up to the 5" Comps in front soon to level it out, and be able to run some weight in the front ..
Thank you for the comments ... I love the liner too !!!! simplicity ...

You'll definitely need spacers for the rear and the adjustable panhards. I also had to trim the inside of my wheel well where the little lip was to clear that on compression. Even with my backspacing and 12.50s I run the inside of the wheel wells a little (which is fine as long as you are centered with the panhard).
I also adjusted my steering bumpstops as I was rubbing both arms while being centered in the front as well. Most of that rubbing was just PS, but DS rubbed on compression turns as well. I had to secure some brake lines to avoid rubbing there, and am seriously considering the Slee 6" instead of my Js with spacers now.
I have 4.88s and they are basically bone stock ratios as my uncorrected speedo and odometer read accurately now. Not an issue at altitude with a ton of weight and a SC, but I'm looking into a smaller pulley and a methanol injection or intercooler setup.
80s look correct with 37s, not big, and wheel great with them. When I put my studded 33s on for the winter though, I'm gonna feel like I've got a slammed street truck, especially with my 0-60 times.

With 1" spacers on stock rims I have no rubbing....but I have trimmed up front for my tube bumper and in the rear of the rear wheel wells.
37's are perfect on an 80 in terms of looks and balance, on and offroad. Of course, I am running mine on a 3.5" lift . I'd want 39's on a 6" lift (and new axles).
Your rig looks great with those rims/tires. 1" spacers will be perfect as will be about 1/2" wider than stock.

Yes, the 80's look very proportioned with 37's and I hear ya Nay ... With the height I'm at, I'm temped to talk about the 40's again !!!!
I won't though ...
I'm glad the 4.88's are dead on ... I wish we had a in between size (4.88 - 5.29)
Like 5.03 or something ...
I think the spacers will work well too ...
Thank you again fellas !!!!
