solid axel v IFS rims

Post by thehanko »

HI Guys,

searched and came up with nothing.

Are the IFS hilux range rims the same offset as solid axel ones?

Basically will the 16 inch rims off a surf or 4 runner fit on an ln106 solid axel.

I want to fit 285/75/16s and am really struggling to find second hand rims. so if its a wider offset it should be ok.

They are a different offset, the IFS ones sit in closer so will cause you problems on a solid axle.

Won't the rims fit on with wheel spacers?

from my understanding the rears should be fine, but the fronts will rub.

However, with wheel spacers they will be OK, just be careful on which states as i think some states wheel spacers are illegal, eg: Vic

id rather just buy the right offset than stuff around with spacers and possible legality issues.

just finding it so hard to find rims to suit.

no one in nsw ever seems to have what i want - plenty in melbourne or brisvagas. but a set of rims/tyres shipping would be killer.

the rims have a different offset but also they are a different shape between the wheel studs and the brake caliper . the solid axle needs a step around the brake caliper. if you buy any american wheels most of the time you need to run 6mm spacers.

You mean like the Mickey T rims, Dick Cepek, Walker Evans, etc?? I have never needed to run a wheel spacer, just get the right offset and it wont be a problem. Talk to someone like Ryano he can do freight on his stuff at reasonable cost and imo is the best in the business.

anybody know what the difference in offset is between an IFS rim and a Patrol rim? and is it enough to prevent running patrol ofset on an IFS lux?
