Found some 15" steel wheels from a late 80's Toyota pickup. These are actually 2 different sets I found. Have a message into the owners to see if there is a model number on them anywhere. I have the white wagon wheels on my '77 but I do have a 15" steel spare wheel. Looking at my spare, the face of it seems a bit flatter whereas the face of these two sets seems to protrude more, then the center portion is more recessed. Wasn't sure if this was a later model modification to the earlier wheels. I looked at some brand new Toyota 15" wheels online and its hard to tell from the photos but they appear to be more of this design. Don't want to purchase these then find out they don't fit. I have drums in the rear and discs on the front, if that makes a difference. Thanks

The guy with the tires on the wheels had sent this. Seemed like an AI response to me but not sure. Going to put another message into the guys with just the wheels to see if there are any numbers on them.

Yeah you will need to know more information about the wheels.

15 x J6 ET0 = 6" wheel width with zero offset = 3" back spacing. Not sure what tire size you're running but some shops won't mount a 10.5" tire on a 6" rim.

15 x J7 ET+8 = 7" wheel width with 8mm positive offset = ~3.8" back spacing.

Most of the wagon wheels I've encountered have been 8" wide, but I'm not sure on the offset or back spacing. They must have a slight negative offset as the max back spacing for an FJ40 without spacers seems to be around 3.5", according to my googling.
 
One of the guys got back to me. Backspacing is a little over 5". I think he said they were off a 1988-95 Toyota pickup. The wheels above with the tires mounted on them. I'm assuming 5" is too much?
 
I wouldn't think IFS mini truck wheels with the extra inboard 1.5" backspacing for a 6" wide stock wheel would work and even if it did it'd be awfully narrow.
 
I believe the 3.5" is correct as when the rim is listed as a 15x6 that's the inside where the bead seats. There's about 1" more, 1/2" each side for where the wheel weights go that has to be considered so a 6" is 7" total.
 
Thanks, I passed on both sets. Both sets I found had the 5" backspacing. One guy said, just add some 1.5" spacers. That had me laughing for a while.
