offset

[strap]

I just need to know what the bolt pattern is and what offset wheels to get for my 91 fj80 so I can run 33/12.50 ( I have OME 850/863) . I am gonna order new wheels and probably pro comp X-terrain? as soon as I know what to get.

thanks

6x5.5 is the bolt pattern. Are you getting the Procomp wheels? If so, I'd get the 15x8 with 3.25" backspacing. WIDER is Better on a lifted Land Cruiser. That is what I have. Stock is 15x7 with 4.25" for 91/92.

Also, I've been thinking about this a lot lately. I'm thinking that 15" rims are not well suited for a heavy wagon. Not because of the rims but because of the tires. 16" tires have thicker sidewalls because they have higher load carrying capacity. After seen two 37" MTRs with sidewall punctures and my own 35" BFG MTs with a sidewall puncture (both on 15" rims on heavy 80s), I'm thinking a tougher sidewall is necessary. Since you are in the market for tires and wheels this would be the perfect time to move to 16" rims. Yes it is more money but sidewall problems cost money too.

Maybe IdahoDoug will shoot some holes in my theory on this? He's the tire guy, not me. Or even better, maybe he'd agree with me.

thanks for the input, anyone else have an opinion? and yes I was thinking about the procomp tire and wheel pakage.
