If I could find a nice set of the vintage rims, or similar in 16" I would definitely go that way. 91 and 92 80 series were 16x8, i believe

Are they the original finish, or did you redu them. They do look nice!
 
15 x 7 actually.

Lucky b*****;)

So it appears from research that 91-92 80 series rims looked the same. Stock 91/92 rims are 15x7; 4.5" BS which is a little surprising that they are offset an inch

Curious if yours are stock BJ74 rims, and if they are the same backspace. By looking at them, I would tend to think they do. A little concerning to me. Here is the 33 10.50 15 on 15 X 8 rims with no offset, which means 4" backspace. The stock rim would sit inward another 1/2 inch!

I'm partial to OEM rims as well and found these ones to put on, these generally came with the HZJ 76 from memory?? they are deeper dish style, -20 offset,

Are they 15 or 16 inch. If they are 16 x 8, then -20 offset would be about 3.25 backspace. Would work great for me. FIND ME SOME!
 
Worked today on the radio. Frustrated as &%#*!!!

I have power, checked the ground, but radio doesn't work. Neither does the other one I tried.

Just needed to vent:mad::mad::mad:

Sorry.....
 
16s also came on the JDM imports.
check with Steve at Extreme bends or John at Radd Cruisers MIGHT have some.
you could also check with Sheldon Walsh ...

Yeah these are 15" , these rims were always on the list for Oldtoy, and lucky enough I managed to find some sooner than expected, Only got 4 rims, so looking for that elusive 5th/ spare, no luck to date, I'm pretty sure they were on some of the higher spec hilux surf(JDM) as well.

Here is a 285/75/16 on an 80 Series 16x8 steel wheel. The wheel backspace is 4.5 inches and it has Spidertrax 1.5 inch spacers, netting 3 inches of backspace. That may be a close combination for your flares.

By the way I used your photo as a reference when I reinstalled the emblems. Thanks.
