lock washers gehind the rim

[pcman]

ok now i dunno if t6here supposed to be there or if there a poor mans attempt at small wheel spacers but my front end has lock washers on the wheel studs behind the rim ??
its a 1975 swb40 series landcruiser with a disk brake front end and i really dont know

attatched is a photo of what im talking about

basically should they be there or should i remove them ??

[ORSM45]

shouldnt be there. full stop.

It has 60 series or 88+ Hilux Disks and calipers on it and im guessing without these washers the rim hits the caliper. You could either fit a small spacer or do as most people do and grind the caliper slightly. Or better even replace the rims with a set that fit correctly.

i could be wrong. but i think you will find they are there to fit a 15in rim with the wrong offset.
if you need to run them autobarn sell the right spacer plates for about 30 bucks the set.
Also check that the insides of your rims arent fawked.

cheers guys the current rims are no where near the caliper or anything but the 15" rims that where on it before i got it i dunno ill remove them tomorrow as im looking for rims and tyres anyway i can get the correct offset to suit

They are off either 60series or 88+ Hilux.

That would be my guess exactly also!! (the rime centre sometimes rubs on the calipers) particularly with a nissan offset wheel!

I would say this is dead right.

Basically they are off any cruiser from 1980-1989 (they all had vented discs) Or a hilux from 1988 and newer.

The rotors look in good condition.

Caliper and hubs are from 42-47-60-73-75 seriers cruiser up to 1988 as the later vented hilux brakes have ribs on the calipers as did the later 75's if you want disc pads all Hilux and Cruisers from 1978 to 1988 take the same front pads.

might sound stuiped, but i would say 60's. simply becouse the locking hubs are more common on a 60 than a hilux.

Blow in] Those locking hubs are they better or worse than the asin`s,I`ve got them on my lux?

[ORSM45]

do they lock/unlock? if they do. then they work well.

aisins are better than the AVMs. but i doubt youd break a hub.

NICK

those are not the WARN hubs you are thinking of, those hubs are off a 40, I would say 1978 era, they are the early warns!

[4sum4]

Yeah there the ones that are on my lux early lux diff with the dodgy allen keys and the bolt that goes in the CV

[DAZ]

just for the record even though you should have it buy now they look identical to what was on my 82 40 and they were factory fitted

i never said they were warn, they look like the ol school 60's, like the first off. so yes on the 40's aswell.
