|
|
I have bought a 1981 4.2 petrol FJ40, imported from Indonesia. It is beautiful. However it has giant Tonka wheels and tyres. I have found online 5 x 15" wheels which I
have shot blasted and powder coated. I have bought new tyres, new shocks, new shackles, new steering damper and shiny hubcaps. All ready to go. But, the wheels will not fit
onto the brake drums, the drums being too big or most likely the wheels too small.
I reckon that the Toyota factory in Indonesia used local brake drums. The OEM wheels that I found on e bay were probably European or Japanese?? and so they
are incompatible. Does anyone know how to solve this expensive issue? |

All I can say is buy bigger wheels or maybe use spacers. _________________ It's Not a Bl**dy Jeep it's a Landcruiser

Thanks for the tip to buy bigger wheels. So, 15" are too small. My mistake and an expensive one at that. Where can I buy 16" OEM 1981 wheels? |
