I wish I knew better. There is a lot of wheel information here, perhaps it will help. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/steel-wheel-tech.1137060/page-15

If it is the same 6 lug bolt pattern, I would assume they would. They were on my stock height FJ40.

Hi, yes I pulled from my FJ40. It all ran fine with zero issues. I just decided to tear mine down to the frame and was going with a Cummins diesel. I purchased my FJ40 about a 1 1/2 years ago. Since then I only put approx. 50 miles on it. The previous owner shared that the engine was pulled...

It's a full cage, although I'm unaware of manufacturer.

Set of (5) The FJCO 16" black wheels with (5) new (Approx. 40 miles on them) BF Goodrich KM3 Mud Terrain tires 255/85/16R $2,400

This is the direction I went. Happy so far!

You can get a Cummins R2.8 directly from Cummins. I would definitely research the 2.8 LWN. I really wanted to use one, as they sound great and support is plentyful; however, I read a lot about issues with that motor. Look on 2.8L Duramax forums on FB.

Well, I made my decision and went with Rock & Road Performance out of Loomis, CA. They are next to Ruff Stuff and are building a set of axles with Ruff Stuff housings. They are very responsive so far and extremely helpful. To many questionable experiences and my own limited experience with...

Hey, getting ready to place a substantial order fir my 76' FJ40 build and was looking for vendor recommendations and hopefully a good deal to be had. I am looking to purchase a Tremec TR4050, an Atlas 2sp, Method Racing wheels and Nitto, BFG or Micky Thompson tires. Any suggestions? I can get...

Okay, thanks. Any issues with narrowing 80 axles? I was planning on going 3" wider front and rear. Thought was to gain a bit more wide stance stability without tires sticking way out.

Just out of curiosity, why the Hellfires over the Front Range Fabs? Based on my rough communication with them (reason for this post), I'm happy to support someone else, but just curious. Thanks.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the advice. I like the price a whole lot more, lol. I'll look into going that route.
