anyone tried CSA wheels on their LC 100?

[Greenland Landcruiser]

I'm thinking of buying CSA wheels to my LC100. But before I order the wheels I would like to know if anyone out there have tried the wheels?
Some of their wheels looks very cool on their website with a wheel-matching program. Any reality pictures of CSA wheels on LC100s?

Yep,

Actually they are what I have just fitted to my Landcruiser.

Mine are Highlander 16x8 wearing 285/75R16 All Terrains.

Wilesy, do you happen to know the offset?

 

[Augie]

That looks like +35 offset, at least most of the aftermarket I found are that offset.
The only one with different offset are +20 which I believe would not work very well with IFS.
OEM IFS wheels are +60 so that one are about 25 mm wider than stock.

I really to be honest don't really know, however what Augie says sounds right as they look about 25mm wider than standard which in my view looks spot on.

What can a guy expect to pay for a set of those in the US?

 

[Wilesy]

I paid $260 AU each for mine, though I did get a $50 trade-in for the original steel wheels which were brand new.

Then I traded the grandtrecks which were standard for $100 each on the Bfg's which all up cost me $1,480 all up for 4 wheels & tires.

The BFG's here are $280 AU each.

Can you list some of the wheels you have found that will work on the LC100? As for 25mm wider, that sounds like it might work okay though it might rub at times. When lifting the IFS, we lose a bit of track width. Higher center of gravity and a narrower track width. I think I can live with a little rubbing sometimes to gain a little stability all the time.

 

[Wilesy]

I can assure you that even with standard suspension, you have no worries of it rubbing anywhere even with 285/75R16's.

I was very sure and did my homework thoroughly before deciding to fit these wheels.

 

[hoser]

I think Christo ran 325/65-18 (35's), lift and 1" spacers with just some rub.

 

[Augie]

Hoser, I have not found non bling bling wheels for LC yet. What kind of wheels are you looking for?
Jaos got nice 16X8 but they cost about $500 each. I give up and just bought a second OEM set a few weeks ago.

Slee sells 1" wheel spacer with 5x150 bolt pattern if you want wider track with OEM wheels. Its not listed in their website but they have it.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't those wheels 6-lug wheels? Don't the AU 100's have SFA w/ 6-lugs? If so, they won't work on our US 5-lug models.......

I may be off on this, but just curious.......

No,

We use 5 lug wheels here in our IFS models also.

The only 6 lug wheels left are that on the live axel standard van which is about as bare boned vehicle as you can get. They are usually sold to Government departments.

Other than that, we are all on 5 stud now.
