Which Canadian truck rims will fit an LJ78?

[mikesmithlj78]

Hey guys, I just got a 92 Prado LJ78 and the tires on it are 256/70R15 on 6 bolt rims. I'm looking for rims and tires at the wreckers so I can change my own winter tires every year and not have to pay someone else to do it.

My question is does anyone know trucks or suvs in Canada that have rims/tires that will fit the Prado? I heard that the 4runner wheels will fit but I'm not sure which year.

Thnx.

4Runner, FJ Cruiser, many others

6x5.5" bolt pattern, just make sure the hole is big enough and the backspacing will work. Shouldn't be hard to find.

back spacing is the issue, 16" rims to clear the rear calipers are suggested.
never seen 15" rims on a playdo.

I thought the LJ78 had 16x6" and the KZJ78 15x7"? But yeah, back spacing is certainly the issue.

Shop around and get another set of used prado rims. Otherwise Mickey Thompson Classic 2 and 3 will fit. That's what I did. Check my build thread for pictures

I believe that's the same as the factory rims that came on my HZJ77. They are 15x7 but I'd have to look at them for the part number

 

[crushers]

cool, nice to know they fit ...

 

[crushers]

7" wide split rim too, nice

Or if you want something cheaper, go with the wheels from Summit Racing. Post #83 in https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/1988-bj73-slow-build.754982/page-5

I just put them on my BJ70 with 235 85 R16 Wrangler Duramax tires. Now I just need to go out to take a picture for Charles' registry thread.

Don't see a part number on the rim. But it does say 15x7JJ (-20). Vehicle came with five of these.

 

[crushers]

we call them poverty rims
trailer shops sell them as well
best price i have seen in this area was $55 each.
i run them as well.

 

[77cruiser77]

That's a good option. What if you wanted a 16x8?

 

[crushers]

there are some nice aftermarket aloy rims that i like ...

 

[77cruiser77]

Really, what have you seen out there? All I've found was Mickey Thompson rims

 

[mikesmithlj78]

Great discussion guys. Most of this is over my head though. I was looking for 15" because that's what's on there now... good to know I can go to 16"...I was hoping to know a Toyota truck equivalent so I could just go to the wreckers and take cheap ones. I found some good winter tires that fit but ended up getting steal rims from Kal Tire for $90 ea, and I'm HOPING that when they arrive they'll actually fit on my RHD truck and that the guy knew what I was talking about

Anyone know anything about what oil to use for a diff oil change? also for the transfer case? gear box? and engine oil? and filter parts numbers? the owner's manuals appear to be like $400 on ebay so i'm a bit lost...where do you guys find that info?

Thanx!
