I´m planning to use LTB 34x10.50x15 with 4 " lift.

Those would look great and the price isn't bad; however a 6" wide wheel, while certainly feasible, is a little narrow for a 10.5" wide tire IMHO. I believe late FJ40, FJ60 & 62 wheels are 15x7(correct me if I'm wrong) and have the proper backspacing. Cruiser Solutions sells some nice looking steelies in 15x8 with the correct backspacing but they're a bit steep at $75 a pop. Check out Stockton Wheel, they may have something that will work; Custom Wheels - Stockton Wheel Service

Last night i sent an email asking for price( Stockton's wheels), for the series 20 steel rims...frank that work for them, reply with price $145.00 ea. plus ride. But those on summit you can choose the wide that serve better for your tire option. I have few pictures of members here using the swamper Q78-15 on 40 steel rims, or Ltb 34. My preference still for skinny and tall tires and i dont know much about cruisers,but a 8 inch rim will look good also.

Cruiser hubcap wheels are 5.5" and the wagons are 6". The wagons are not that hard to find cheap and would be ok with the right 10.5" tire. Swampers are narrow. MT TAs would be ok too. AT TAs in 10.5 should go on 7" rims IMO.

Those wheels look nice, but i would try to find stock wheels if i were you. I waited until a guy near me had a set of four on old axles and he sold them lot to me for $50. i had them powdercoated and bam, they look great on my fj55.

Not a bad looking rim, and not a bad price either. I'm with Gus tho: a 7" rim would be a better choice than a 6.

You take a 6 when you're trying to stay with original Toyota. Otherwise, the 7 is a better fit [offset] and will give you more choices for using other tires down the road [when you decide the LTB's are too noisy!]

Sorry for re-opening an old thread, but has anyone looked at the Wheel Vintiques 66 series wheels for a Cruiser?

The backspacing would require a wheel spacer, but comes in 16 and 17 inch sizes. I would like to know if the FJ40 hub caps would fit other than it needs the clips to hold them in place. Anyone know if you can buy those or just have to use them from a stock set of wheels?


Anyone know if these clips would work?: Clips

Are you looking to run 16" or 17" tires?

I recently saw some OEM clips on Ebay. They may still be available from the dealer.

[SouthBostonFJ40]

Why not just buy OEM steelies from the nearest Toyota dealer?

 

[jaacina]

Thanks for the link. I wonder if the VW clips are close to the same. They are much cheaper. I would like to go with a 16" wheel.

They look really close, they might work with a little tweaking.
