I just acquired a set of 16" mag wheels from a '96 Forerunner, as a second set of rims for my '91 Prado. The profile of the rims is slightly different so was rubbing the tie rod end on the front left side. After adding a 6mm spacer (from 4wheel auto) I still had some rubbing. If I add two spacers there is adequate clearance, but my lug nuts only hold 4 or five turns, which seems too little. The rims seem to have lots of beef; has anyone modified similar rims to create clearance; it looks like grinding about 2mm deep and 6 to 10 mm wide would do it, and the rims have so much beef I don't think it would compromise the rims.
These rims look great, so I want to make this work. Any help appreciated.
