Replacement wheels

[cdickgo]

i have a 1967 FJ40. My factory wheels are kind of beat up and bent. I wanted to get some new ones and saw Toyota makes the 15x5 still under part # 42601-60072 but an eBay vendor says they don’t know and SOR has 2 different rims listed for different years. Will this Toyota factory part fit my ‘67 FJ? I have drum brakes front and back. Did something change with the bolt pattern or back spacing?

Earlier drum brake rims were riveted together and the rivets don't clear disc calipers, so they switched to a welded connection in late '75.

But the newer welded wheels should still work with drums, So these should fit my FJ?

That's my understanding. Bolt pattern and backspacing didn't change, only the elimination of the rivet heads. Backwards compatible! 1958-1990.

Yes. I have a 1971 with all drum brakes. Its original styled rims were rivited; such as your 67'. I bought new wheels, from Toyota, and they fit without a problem. they will come painted black from the factory.
