Hello just a quick question is there 2 different widths on the 6 spoke alloys and if so is it stamped on the wheel at all? thanks. Joe

Yes,

The early Irish ones were 7JJ
They got the LC2, a stripped down LC3

Our ones are 7,5JJ

Thankyou so the chances of my wheels being 7" are pretty slim then? Joe

The Toyota 6 spoke original equipment alloys only came in one size.

Just a quick update. While underneath the lc toaday i looked at the wheels and it is cast on the inside of the spokes the wheels are 7 1/2 inch thanks. Joe

I'm thinking of getting some steel rims for the truck - I know the rim size is 17 x 7.5 inch (I think JJ - is that the offset?)

Anyone know of the exact specification I should search for?

Cheers

You have to be very carefull in the selection of the 16 inch rim.
I would be surprised if they went over the larger calipers that the 120 series has.
Just going of reports, and my own experience of a little grinding the caliper top and bottom, just to get on aftermarket 17 inch wheels.

I'll take more tyres then..... Neutral

I remember now reading 'vette's post about the grinding. I don't have a problem with what he has done as it is just smoothing over a ridge (from what I can see)
The Aus one? Looks like they taking a fair amount of meat off there. Don't think I would do that.

As for Mr-T's guys doing it at the dealer - Don't think I would be happy with it. Wonder how much you would have to take off before it is weakened. (I'll sleep sound not knowing the answer to that question :S)
