Will IFS wheels fit on solid axle 100 series

[Excesv]

Has anyone had experience running IFS wheels on a solid axle 105 series? I understand you can run spacers (size please) to get the correct offset, but does this have any adverse effects on steering geometry or on road handling?

For strength and rock rash reasons I'd prefer a wheel with less backspacing.

Here's the 100 Slee SAS'd with 105 hubs showing both OEM and aftermarket, with less backspacing, wheels: http://www.sleeoffroad.com/project_vehicles/100SAS-PAUL/100sas_paul.htm

I fail to see how less backspacing effects strength or rock rash.

 

[spressomon]

You're right...it doesn't on the street.

 

[bamabrock]

Please explain how it does in the rocks then. I know how wheel width effects rock rash but not wheel backspacing. I do not understand how backspacing effects a wheel's strength either unless you meant added pressure on front end components from wheels further offset than stock.

You guys are forgetting one small detail.
100's are 5 bolt
105's are 6 bolt

105 is a 5 bolt... All years.

By using 8" IFS wheels, you'll have lost nearly 5" of track width... and I am guessing there would be clearance issues on the inside while turning.

Design differences aside a lever is always influenced by the fulcrum.

Don't think 100-Series OEM backspacing makes a difference with rock rash? Please take a look at any OEM 100 wheels that have been on-trail...more than gravel road on-trail...compared to say OEM 80 wheels: No compare. With less backspacing the wheel "spokes" are more inboard relative to the tire sidewall...thus more, relatively, protected when rolling through 'the rocks'.

I'm not sure about all the levers and fulcrums..... but my OEM 18's are beat and gouged and scratched. Every time I go out, I have another huge rash mark on them.

I thought about painting them, but what's the point? I'd be spending all day retouching them anyway.

 

[neoworm]

Hmmm, I could have sworn the 105's were six bolt. Oh well, carry on.

That is a far stretch considering the overwhelming majority of rock rash on a wheel is on the lip, not the inner spokes. But maybe I've been doing it wrong all these years

 

[paflytyer]

One of mine..

 

[spressomon]

Like I said...streeters/mall crowd need not apply.

 

[bamabrock]

You got me with pics of scratched wheels. I haven't been beating one ton rigs for the last two decades

 

[paflytyer]

Spokes or lip? I'd say the spokes saved the lip.

Ha!! I thought mine were bad!

 

[paflytyer]

A wire wheel and some elbow grease.....then prime, then paint, then wheel and scratch, then touch up, then wire wheel, then.....

Yep, mate's 105(1HZ) - definitely 5 bolts:

and another mate's 78 (new style with the tdi v8) - also 5 bolts... He likes Red

cheers,

I must admit i've never seen a 100/105 series with 6 bolt stud pattern....... i worked at toyota from 97 to 2003
