Which wheel studs for FJ40 rear disks?

Post by 2car »

I have hilux solid disks and machined 60 series FF hubs. Which wheel studs should I use - 60 series front?

The centre part of the hilux disk is the same as a 60 disk but the rear hub flange is about 8mm thinner than the front hub flange. The 60 series front wheel studs look like thay may be a little too long.

Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

i used std rear hubs - faced to back to fit the disk rotors .
used hi-lux - l/cruiser front wheel studs .
and used a 8mm wheel spacer between the rim and the hub.
(to make up for the rear drum thickness so it tracks the same )
thing i have done - cut the centre out of the rear drum u have tacken off.
to use as a spacer ....
if u have any problems pm or e-mail.

I dont have FF drums. My existing set-up is SF ('74). The old style drums are pretty thin in that area. I'll come up with something for a spacer though. Thanks for the ideas!

On my conversions kits i make up i supply a spacer ring that the wheel studs go through (cruiser/hilux disc brake front wheel studs) then the disc and press into the hub. This spaces the stud back far enough for all types of wheels to tighten up with out running out of thread for the wheel nut.
