Land cruiser 4.0 200 manual 5 lug to 6 (1 Viewer)

[MnsoooR]

I want to do a new project on my land cruiser 200 series 2008 V6 Manual 5 Speed
I’m looking into converting the factory 5 lug hub to 6 lug to fit lighter and 16 inch rims, have anybody done it or have any suggestions..?

Will your brake rotors fit inside a 16 inch wheel?

You have to trim the brake calipers, and I believe get some spacers to fit those 16s.

No, that’s the problem! I’m looking into trying to fit fj cruiser brakes or another solution to reduce the diameter of the factory brake rotor..

I tried before to trim the calipers, it went off leaking from the oil hole, I guess i’m going to try to fit FJ cruiser calipers and check out perfectly, if not!The other plan is reducing the brake rotor diameter

Ever consider spacer/adapters? Potentially a lot easier?

I have came upon an project on the 100 land cruiser hub, the holes were re-adjusted and turned from 5 holes to 6 at the lathe. Do you guys think this will also work on the 200 series hub!

Actually, I find that fitting spacers doesn’t give a good result because it pushes the tires out of the fenders a bit and it gives a bad look.

Just by the factory 17'' steel wheels, much less mucking around.

or you can just get a set of hub adapters. ..... like spacers with a different pattern.

That doesn’t solve the wheels not fitting over the rotors and calipers.

Guys I guess fitting a lexus lx470 4.1 axle will fit my 4.1 diff, which is a great fit for the change.

Was the LX470 6-lug where you are? Here in the states the LX470 and 100-series landcruiser was the start of the move to 5-lug hubs.

Well actually, I’m looking into either fitting it to 16 inch or fit a 6 lug hub..

Right, that’s why I asked about a LX470 axle, as they were 5 lug.
Edit: reading comprehension. You were implying you might be able to run 16s on the 5-lug 470 axle.
