White looks great!

Never offered in US market on a 40.

But probably should have.

What color were the US stock wheels?

If I switched back to stock wheels, it looks like the wheel is too narrow for any 10.5"x33"x15" tire? I'd like to go to the stock wheels with hub caps and go back to a narrower tire (currently has 12.5"x33"x15" on spoked AR white wheels). What tire are people using to keep 33" diameter on such a narrow steel rim?

 

[jim land]

33 x10.5 is perfect on 5.5" rimes
BFG specs ask for 7"-9" , so you need to stay far from big tire stores , mom and pop shop will mount them

What color were the US stock wheels?

For Usa rims

E-60 body color
61-67 black rims
68-72/73 gray rims
72/73 - 7/80 gray outside only
8/80-84 white wagon wheels

BFG makes both AT and MT tires that fit really well and are perfectly safe. Toyo also makes tires in that size.

Yes it is true, the early American imported 40's came only with the grey color wheels and did not come with lockout hubs unless installed at the Port of entry or the dealer.
