If you fellas know off hand, it'll save me a little hassle.

I bought an unused second hand BFG All Terrain KO to use as a spare. The PO didn't want to pay for dismounting so he threw in the Centerline wheel.

It's already mounted and balanced, so I'm thinking of just throwing it all under as a spare as it is, WHEEL and tire. I'll remount during my next rotation.

Anyway, the question is, will the wheel fit? And, what's the model name?
It's an old school wheel... discontinued.

Centerline, bolt pattern is fine (6 on 5.5), looks like 15 x 8 or 8.5, 3.75 BS. Harder to measure BS with the tire mounted, but it's accurate.
 
I had those exact wheels on my fj62 when I bought it. before I finished reading your post I saw the picture and it brought flash backs:) yes they fit on my fj62 but there were .25 spacers on the front. with out them the wheels binded on the caliper.
one thing that I didn't like about them was that they stuck way in under the cruiser.
HTH jason
 
Jason, do you remember the model name of these wheels?
So it won't fit without spacers, huh? I was guessing that.

Yea, thx 60wag, I remembered the 33" size limitation for the spare.
I did mean the front axle.
 
sorry yeah they were AR (american Racing) 25's I foound them on a web site in order to label them correctly to sell on ebay. they were nice wheels. I would still have them if i didn't go all rector set on my driveline swapping in stuff. you can get spacers pretty cheap. I don't even think they were a 1/4" i think i ran one side with out a spacer for a while.
I never tried to fit it under the back though.
 
Hey, my brother, sorry to send ya lookin'. Yea, I think i know the one's you're talking about.
I remember some American Racing rims that are a splitting image of the one I've got.

The wheel pictured above, though, is a "Centerline".
15 x 8.5 with a 3.75 backspacing.
So maybe there's still a chance it doesn't need a spacer. I'm just thinking about using it as a spare. And since it is a spare, i don't care that it's an odd ball rim.
I called Centerline and they can't tell me anything about them.

Yea, the best way is to mount it.

But if any of you fellas knew, i'd save me a little work and keep my wheel locks from stripping out a little. ;)
