Hi, I have a swb softtop '91, and am in the process of getting new wheels & tyres, I have opted for sunrasiers but found the 15's do not fit as the calipers jam up on the inside of the rim, therefore I have to go 16's as they will fit, hope this helps, cheers

Did yopu actually try to fit the rim or were you just told as I have been running 15s on my lwb nk which has the large brakes with no dramas at all.

cheers eddy

The callipers do foul up on the JTops with 15" rims, they come out with 18's by memory and larger callipers. You can get 15's to fit, just need to be a little happy with the grinder

Hi all, I have opted for 16" rims with 32's, still trying to decide between maxiis, Kumho or coopers( big horns, KL71 or St-c), roughly the same price around $265 ea + $90 for the rims. Yes, i acutally tried 15" rims from a nh paj & they do not fit( the offset is alright just the bigger calipers) as this model did come out standard with 18" rims. Which brand do you guys think???? cheers justin.

Not sure on the coopers but the KL71 & Maxis (buckshot i'd presume) measure at best a size smaller than advertisied. Might pay to take a tape measure to them

do you plan on spending most of your time on rocky dirt roads?

if not and you'll be driving on the blacktop a bit, don't get the ST-C, these are for primarilly rocky dirt road

Have a good look at the Goodyear Wrangler MTR's, I have a few mates with them and they are an all round quality tyre with excellent wear, at a pretty affordable price.

from a mate in NZ with a jtop

tell them to get 15" landcrusier offset steelies. thats what i run. works mint! and they give wider track.

not always, depends on the rim.
