I have a 80 series and a 86 lux and wanted to swap rims and tyres over but the cruiser rims rub on the lux brake calipers.Does anyone know what offset the landcruisers are and would some wheel spacers fix the problem i am sorry if this is a dumb question but i am not sure.

Thought cruiser had more offset if they aren't touching by much maybe shave the callipers a bit.

Some small wheel spacers will do the trick, you should be able to get them at most mag wheel and tyre places.

thankyou fellas exactly what i needed to know i will get the wheel spacers and i think i will still have to take a fraction off th calliper as it only rubs on the top corner of the caliper.

Why not try and shave the callipers first as it could save you some $
