First post here but have been gleaning advice from this site forever! I am fixing up my old 1995 FJ80 for my son. Legacy if you will...
I have been given a set of basically new wheels and tires for a 2019 Land cruiser (285/60R18 tires) and was wondering if there is a way to mount them to the existing hubs. We all know the newer land cruisers have a 5 bolt rim pattern vs the old 6 bolt pattern I have on my 95 cruiser. Should I buy a set of wheel adapters (6x5.5 to 5x5.5) and just run the new wheels or should I take the new tires and just buy new rims to fit them with a six bolt pattern. I highly doubt that he will be doing any four-wheeling or heavy trekking.
Options are:
1. Just buy new tires for the existing 16 inch ailing rims
2. Buy new six bolt pattern rims for the 18 inch tires
3. Buy wheel adapters that will fit the 5 bolt rims to the six bolt pattern
We are trying to keep the costs down here as much as possible so I am trying to utilize the 285/60R18 tires anyway I can. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Safety is always a consideration and as he is a new driver and we want the vehicle to be as safe as possible.
Love this forum btw. Quite the tight community. Please forgive me if I am posting in the wrong area.
