What size rims for 75 Series?

Post by BUNDERA »

What size rims come out standard on the 75 series Toyota?

I am pretty sure it is 16"....am i correct?

Is it possible to fit 15" rims by grinding off a bit of the caliper? Do you have to grind off much or is it pretty straight forward?

Thanks in advance,

Regards,
Nick

Transport have approved me to run 10"s on road so I was either going to go 16x10 or 15x10 when I get it.

Is there much difference in the cost of wheels and tyres between 16's than 15's?

Cheers,

Nick

U should be able to run 15's on 75 Series no troubles.
The caliper mod is only needed on the early 120 prados to fix 16" rims, and probably early 100 series cruisers. It only involved grinding away (delicately mind you) a bit of extra casting that has now been removed as it served no structural purpose to the caliper.

Borrow a mates and find out.. much easier.

Dan.
