Need to buy new wheels for my hzj77 and I'm having trouble finding the proper fitment. I need 3.5" backspacing does anybody know who makes a wheel to fit, I want to run a 16" tire or does anyone have some for sale. I found lots with 4" or 4.5" bs any thoughts on running spacers.

That a few other things, clutch slave cylinder was blown and the clutch it self is 50/50 tranny is a little noisy but works
So I assume the insurance company finally got their act together?

No still waiting for them to decide what to do. I put a used slave cylinder on and some split rims on her and I am driving it.
What an ordeal.......
I put on Mickey Thompson Classic III's. a step up in quality compared to the Classic II's and come in a 16x8 with 3 5/8" back spacing. That's what I am running now and I've been nothing but happy with them.
Not sure about how available these are, but Toyota 42601-60262-03 fit fine. 16x6" with 3.25" backspace IIRC. The -03 denotes painted grey.
Heavy steel wheels. I have 235/85-16 Duratracs on them.

The toyota option is a good one especially the cost. The problem with them is that a 6" wide rim is too narrow for a lot of the tire options people are looking at. I run 255/85 on a 16x8 rim and I certainly would not want to go with a rim any narrower than what I have now.
Excellent wheels. My truck has one set with LT235-85R16-A/T and another set with LT265-75R16-M+S. Both give the same 10% OD, so speed and odo correction is simple. I've run them for years with never any problems.

I looked at them but I want to run a 33" tire either 285/75/16 or 255/85/16 that wheel maybe to narrow
16x7 would be a fine size. You can get them off the LJ78s and they work just fine. I have another set that I still need to ship up to me. I run that same rim with my 235/85/16s winters
I have 16x8s rims with 255 toyos and so far I am loving them. That tire size looks great on the truck.
I am dreaming about 35x10.5s. But I think 900r16s would be a nice size too but ones low range would be hurting with that.

LJ78 OEM rims is 16x6 not 16x7. Personally I would not run anything much wider than a 235/85R16 on them. My next set of tires will be 255/85R16, and I'll have to upgrade my rims to custom.
why is that?

Maybe ill just buy some fj cruiser trail team trd wheels 16x7.5 and run 1" spacers as there BS is 4.5 I believe
To avoid crowning of the tire. I also like my sidewalls square to the tread and rim. Maybe 255 is fine on a 6" wide rim, but my personal preference will be a wider rim.
What are the guys on the 60 series forum using? They may even have some for sale.
Same backspacing as a 70 AFAIK.
In my experience tire pressure has more effect on crowning.
