Lexus Wheels on a LJ78? (1 Viewer)

[CRSWA]

I'm curious if anyone knows how well modern wheels like these fit on a 78 series. The lug pattern is correct, and I think the center hole is large enough, but I'm worried about the offset. Anyone tried these?

If you can figure out the off set of the lexus that would help.google search?

I don't know the model of Lexus that they came off of, but I found the ad for them on a forum for the FJ Cruiser, so for the sake of argument, let's say they have the same offset as the stock wheels for the FJ Cruiser which is +15. What size spacers would I need to make this work?

 

[JimmyPrado]

Well the lj78 offset is 0 so it would be 15 mm. But if it’s a +15, I think that would put the wheel further out. BUT, I’ve been wrong before

 

[JimmyPrado]

Nope, I’m wrong! You would need 15mm spacer to correct it.

 

[CRSWA]

Bingo. That's what I was looking for. Thanks.

To make it easier it is the back spacing that is important. Lay a flat edge across the inside outer edge of the wheel, measure from there to the wms (wheel mounting surface) and you have the back spacing. Compare to a 70-series and you have solved it yourself.

Unfortunately the offset is wrong on almost all the newer Toyota rims. All positive offset, which means the wheel is set in closer to the hub. As said above, the OEM rims are zero offset. But they are only 6" wide. So really, with a wider rim, you'd want -ve offset to give the same clearance. Wheel spacers are an option. I've never liked the idea of them though. Best just to get an after market rim.

They are illegal in Australia apparently. But lots of things are illegal in Australia. Except driving on beaches, which is illegal here. I don't like the idea of spacers.

I understand the concerns about spacers. It is a potential weak point. The truck came with some Bergs that have seen better days but might clean up nicely.

those cleaned up with a bigger tread tire could look good.
