Steel wheels for a 80 series like a fj40 steel with caps (1 Viewer)

In that case I would want a wider wheel.



That was a link to click on, not a question in need of an answer

Lol, I didn’t realize that. Lol

FWIW I'm rolling '79 15" steelies on my '91 FJ80 with tall skinny 9.5" 33s. Work great. Although its getting pretty hard to find these tires.

Do you have the rear floating diff with disc brakes?

Not the best picture, I’ll get some better pictures from different angles after work.

@bub m i have the older drum brake setup with semi float axle.

Thanks, are those 16x5.5 or 7? What size tires?

Are you using s spacer?

Cool truck

To my knowledge these rims are off my father’s 79 Cruiser. They’re the stock OEM 15” Steel rims (I believe 5.5” width but don’t quote me on that). For tires I’m running 33” x 9.5” aka tall skinny’s Baja tires. Very hard to find. I’m not using any spacers. No clearance issues. And the rims slips over my stock rear drums well. I’ve read that these rims will not clear the beefier front discs or rear discs of later rigs.

fj40 hub caps don't really match the 80 series in my opinion. The 80 body isnt old looking enough to work with the old hub caps.

An 8" rom is standard with 4" backspace so that would be 0 offset

An 8 inch wheel is 8 inches bead-to-bead. Backspace is measured based on flange-to-flange. A 16x8 wheel measures 9 inches flange-to-flange. Therefore 4.5 inches is "zero" backspace for an 8 inch wheel.

Does anyone know of a retailer in the USA that sells Dean wheels?

The shop owner is a major Toyota guy. He is here on mud, I forgot his user name.

Going to look good with the quad headlights retro look

 

[bub m]

Wow!! Nice work!!! Where did you get them? What size did you go with on the Dean’s?

 

[MPTank]

I went with the 16x7. Today I get them mounted on to Km2 255/85/16. I ordered mine from Dave @Japan4X4.

 

[bub m]

Is he here? How much are they?

 

[MPTank]

No he’s in Japan. They aren’t cheap. The price depends on exchange rate and shipping. Mine were 1600
