80 series rims on 74 won't go!

[BobBJ74]

Hi folks, I want to put Toyota factory 80 series 16x8 alloy rims on my BJ 74. But the 80 series rims rub the steering knuckel arm. I dont want to use wheel spacers and longer studs. Is there after market steering knuckel arms with less of a outward bend or crank on them available. 10mm to 15mm less would work. Any ideas or info would great. Thanks.

Use hilux IFS hubs and a space for the brake disc? gains ~33mm per side.

No, they have a totally different back spacing. Try a 1.25" spacer.

That wierd, the 80 series gx 16x8 steelies fit on the 75 series cruisers , they are close but still enough to miss comfortably,
I wonder if the 75 series have for some reason different rid ends or why te 80 series would run different offset 16x8s fir the same vehicle

No, need wheel spacers.
