17 inch rims for hilux

Post by rocknferoza »

Is anyone running 17 inch steel rims on there LN167R hilux :?: I wanna put a set on mine so i can put a set of 245/70r17 BFG muds on the lux.

Was told 17's may hit on the brake caliper. Is this correct :?:


Thanx
James

The inner rim will not hit the caliper, but get the offset right as it might hit.

I have different offset Sunraysia 15"s on the back of my Hilux and when I got new tyres fitted they put the backs on the front and the ute wouldn't move because they were hitting the caliper.

17x8 N13 6/139.7 fit without a worry in the world. The X Factor (spoke clearance with caliper) is fine on all the 17" Steel that I know. I've got a set of 4 barely used silver rims downstairs now.

Cheers,

If you were sticking them on a 40, not quite enough unless it was running Patrol diffs in which case they would be good. :D
On the Lux they will sit out a touch further than standard.
