There are currently a few threads running around about FJC wheels with questions such as "which spacers", "which type of lugs", and "will the center cap fit".
I figured I would start a new thread to answer these questions based on my own experience.
Which spacer to use? I prefer my wheels to flush out with the flares and 1-1/2" spacers accomplish this nicely and still stuff into the wheel well on full flex.
Which type of lug to use? I asked this a while back and received lots of different answers. I went with Christo's advice and use my OEM lugs that came with the LX450, but I purchased some acorn style lugs to insure the wheel is centered on the studs. First, I put on 3 acorn lugs spaced equally, then follow with 3 OEM lugs. Then remove the 3 acorn and replace with OEM. (Reminder, this is how I mount the wheels to the spacers, which are not hubcentric)
Will the Center Caps fit, and on what size spacer? I personally like the look of my wheels without the center cap, but this question seems to come up often and all the answers I have seen so far suggest that the spacers need to be larger than
1-1/2". I just puchased a 5th rim as a spare and it came with the center cap so I checked. The center cap fully seated on the wheel and my spacers are 1-1/2". Below are pictures to confirm.
I will paint the cap black and post another picture later for a complete blacked out look with cap.
