So, I bought these 16" splits that are probably from an FJ55. I'm looking to restore them for use on my LJ73.
Is there solid info about tire fitment and inner tube specs for something like that? I know it's dated tech with some quirks to it. So still not sure how much I'll run them, but I got them cheap, and I need a set of summer road wheels for next year anyway. Worst case I'll restore the rims and resell, since the tires are old enough to where they crackled when I released the air from the tubes
But if there is a way to find new tires and tubes for these I'd like to use em. They look kinda cool as well!
As for restoring the rims. Are there any words of caution or suggestions I should consider before starting? Loose plan is to crack em open, donate the crackly tires as planters for the mother in law, and then clean up all the old paint and rust off the rims. Do people paint the tube side of the rims, if so is there anything specific I should use? The outside I would just thoroughly coat with rust protection primer and spray paint them.
