HJ75 Troopy Rims, Steelies FJ or NATO 'Wolf' Style wheels

[Elbee]

Hello,
Pretty soon I'm going to have an 1989 HJ75 and I was looking at rims.
Could I possibly get 17" FJ steelies on it? It 17X7.5 6X5.5 BOLT PATTERN with 4.5" 32mm backspacing.

OR

Does anyone know of where I can source steelies that are like the 78, 76 series 5 blot patterns, but 6 bolt?

Thanks!

I ran black tundra steelies on my troopie, but you will have to run spacers on those and the FJC steelies.

Thanks. How big of spacer did you have to run?

1.25 or 1.5 inches IIRC. Worked great.

See my thread here https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/bj-73-rehab-thread-oem-or-bust.793434/page-4, post #69.

I bought five take-offs (black below) at $45 each, plus 1.5" spacers from Carl at Just Differentials. Had them powdercoated gray.

I stole the idea from C2DFJ45 and his awesome 79 at https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/just-another-79-build.569489/.

Good luck, post photos.

That is exactly what I want to do and the same color. I have only been able to find the FJC steelies for $80. Good find. I'll probably run them on my 4runner with some JK take offs for a bit.

How has the powder coating held up so far?

Only had them two days, sitting in barn, not mounted yet. Mine is a BJ 73, the white 75 is someone else's. Both running 16 inch wheels.

Not sure about 4Runner, JK, etc., but I believe FJ Cruiser wheels are 17 x 7.5. The Taco/Tundra/Sequoia take-offs I bought (shown above) are 16 x 7.
