I’m in the middle of a motor swap. 6.0 LQ9 into my FJ60.
6.0 Vortec LQ9 - FJ60 Engine Swap - Old Blue's Heart Transplant
Plan to spring over with 37s once that is done.

I need 16x8" rims. I'm looking for alloy. (Not Steel) Trying to save on weight. I have read through the previous post on this subject to no Avail.
I need to know what "brand" rim with what "backspacing" that is "alloy" without using "Spacers" that will work on a FJ60. Not looking for...
Does anyone know if a FJ62 Spring Perch/ U bolt Plate will work on a FJ60. I am having trouble figuring out if the two are universal / interchangeable. Thanks :D
I am searching for a rear passenger Spring Plate / U Bolt Plate for a 1987 FJ60. Does anyone have any insight as to where I might track one down at?
Any help appreciated. Thanks. :D
