Hello everyone,
I want to modify my Prado for aesthetic purposes. It is the 70 series kzj78-wide Prado with the flares.
As you know that the prado's front and rear axle widths are different and that they are both narrow to allow the tyres to be flush with the fender (flares). I wish to change that but I'm not sure what is it that I need to change to be able to:
1 - Achieve wider axle width
2 - Have a mounting hub that is designed for a positive offset wheel
In basic terms, I want to make the wheel flush with the flares/fenders as in the Mercedes g-wagons.
I have found that my desired mounting hub (for my desired wheels) and axle width is there in 1995+ 4runner (surf). But I'm unsure as to how many components I need to change/swap from the surf/4runner unto this Prado, to be able to achieve this.
Do I need to swap the whole front and rear axles to achieve this? What else do I need to look out for when doing this? So that I can communicate to my mechanic.
Thanks guys!
