wheel fitament jto disc conversion READ (1 Viewer)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I purchsed the jto front brake kit for my 71 fj40, I asked about wheel clearance. The salesman assured me the stock wheels would work. THEY DONT FIT over the new calipers.

I am really upset b/c I just spent $405 on oem size tires for these rims. I had them mounted and balenced, only to find the stock wheels won't work.

I chose oem size tires b/c I was using the oem wheels.......
Having known I was going to be purchasing new wheels...... I would have gotton bigger tires for them. What a waste.......

Besides the wheel fitament, I had to grind each hub for 90mins (no exageration). 3hrs of grinding is hardly "BOLT ON"

The guys at jto were helpful when I called...... Too bad the sales guy on the phone doesn't know what he is selling.

My truck will have to stay on jack stands until I get new wheels or put back on the drums. (dunno when I can get wheels, since I just spent $$$ on tires.)



I would have spent the $405 on wheels not skinny tires...

Will any oem wheels for disc equipped cruisers fir?

ne one have some oem disc wheels they want to trade?



UNHAPPY

Something to ponder...

I am sure you can get spacers to give you the 3 1/4 inch back set i think you need. Try this in a search of this forum.

sorry to hear about your disappointment with jto...although, it's not unusual.

a good set of true wheel spacers will be expensive, but you might be able to get away with the cheap aluminum 1/4 spacers for now. also, can you grind anything (like calipers) and make them clear? things to ponder.

Not much room left on hub with the new disc rotor......... would have to get longer studs....

tires plus

tires plus allowed me to return the tires for a credit toward bigger tires for my new wheels
