Finally got my US Wheels powder coated and mounted the clips based on the @J Mack method with the chain link to convert them to work with the toyota hub caps. Worked really well, holds the hub caps tight and was an affordable-ish option overall. Tires are 285 70 R17, wheels are 17 x 7 with 3.25" backspacing

I need to try that with the clips. I was lazy and screwed mine on.
Okay so I just read 16 pages, really rad thread.
I would like to get a set of 16" wheels with this look, I don't need hubcaps but would like to avoid needing to bore out the center and avoid spacers. Is that possible or am I going to need wheel spacers?
Cruiser is a 72 FJ55. I have a set of nice 33" BFG KO2s in the shed.

Where do you get these clips?
Look for used FJ Cruiser wheels or take off steel wheels. I've purchased quite a few sets over the years.Okay so I just read 16 pages, really rad thread.

I agree, but FJC wheels are 17".
You are correct. 16" were Taco?
I have a set of 6 lug chevy 16” wheels that Proly would need to get widened. Has the clips for the hubcap if they fit
You will probably have to open up the centers on the 6 lug Chevy wheels to fit the fj55 axles.

I don’t know the wheel offset you need for an FJ-55, you may need to run spacers.
Mine came with the US wheels I ordered. You could probably get them from Summit or others by searching for chevy half moon hub cap clips or something along those lines...

yep, I've now edited it. sorry.
FJ40, stock Toyota wheels widened to 15x10 by Stockton (long ago) 35x12.50 BFGs. No engine currently, so it's a little nose high.
