I’ll have a set of 5 ready to sell in a week or so. They are like new. I have them on my FZJ75. Let me know if you are interested. I have boxes from my new rims as well which I can use to ship these. Feel free to PM me and we can discuss.

Cheers, James

Curious why these aren't available in 15"?
I want to go back to factory similar steelies but want 15's. The newer tires on the current Ultra Type 164 wheels are 31/10.5X15 and I'd rather not have to buy new tires.

When upgrading to disk brakes, you need 16” wheels and all US 40’s came with 15’s so the need for aftermarket ones are nonexistent. That’s my understanding anyway.

Thanks, that makes sense. I have disc brakes with 15" wheels but they're aftermarket wheels, maybe that is why they fit. The caliper is pretty close to the wheel though.

The original-style 15x5.5 steel wheels (welded) are still available from Toyota (PN: 42601-60072) They are generally less expensive than the 16" Cityracer wheels and they DO fit with disc brakes. 16" wheels are not necessary for disc brakes. 16" wheels do give some different options for tire fitment when compared with 15" wheels. That's the only benefit. Here’s a pic of the OEM 15” welded Toyota rims on my 45 with front and rear disc brakes. The oldest version ('74-older) of the OE Toyota 15" wheels were riveted, not welded, and the rivets interfere with disc brake calipers. The '75-up 15" welded wheels fit fine.

Learn somethin' new every day!

I'll be having 5 each 16x7 US wheels, BS of 3.25" for disc brakes, coming available next month. We went to 17" to accommodate Kenda 35s.

PM if interested.
