Any issues with 15" wheels on a 80?

[45Kevin]

It seems that most of the European 1990-1992 80's have 15" wheels.

what year?
do you have rear Disk brakes w/ABS on a full float axle?

I am not sure how what years the AUS rear axle matches to the US 93.5 to 97 axle

I was not thinking about an ABS set up as I am not familiar with it sorry. My 1990 has rear drums . I have had the 7 inch and 8 inch sunnys on it and both were ok. The 8 inch from my HJ75 have a different off set and hang outside the guards as its a poverty pack with no flares. I have turbo 8 inch mags and 33 inch on the 75 now so I will try them tomorrow and see if they fit or not.

These pics will give you a look at the profile of front and back of the rim.
first 2 pics are of the 7 inch rims.

The next two are of the 8 inch sunny.

The turbo mags should fit my 80 as the Hj75 has the calipers from a hzj/ or 80 fitted to it.

Not sure of the difference in the calipers.Hope the pics help. cheers.

same in the US

But the US ones had drums on the back, right? Not sure about the Euro ones. The JDMs ones were rotors from the get-go I think.

yes, in the US

91, 92 and some 93's has rear drum brakes, semi floating axle, and could take 15" wheels, HF2A transfer case,

93-97 full float, rear disk, ABS, full float axle, 15" wheels do not fit, HF2AV transfer case

I think that is how it goes soemoby correct me if I got it wrong,

Looks like this topic is all but over for Johnny, But I put on my aluminum 15's from the 40 and had rubbing on the caliper's, I would imagine a steel wheel would be better suited, The alum. on mine seemed very thick.
Good luck

some 93's and 94's got rear drum/semifloats

All 93-94s have the HF2AV case I believe.
