Outer Limits 4x4 Board

ok
we lost everything in the kinglake fires, my mate donated us an old 4runner, for fun and for carting stuff around, my brother donated the tyres and rims,

they are
15"x10.5" off his 07 hilux sr5, with huge mickey thompson tyres, only problem is they hit the front tie rod steering joint.
i tried 6mm shims but its still only just touching any thicker and il have no stud left.

i really am in a flush as i cant really afford new tyres and rims, these are probably worth 1500-2000.

is there any way? spacers(i know there not legal).

Can you knock the studs out and replace them with longer ones, then add a widder shim.

Cheers

i would say at a guess the 4runner you have has the solid front axle where as the rims you got come off a lux with ifs so the off set is wrong spacers will fix the problem but it might be cheeper to just get another set of steel wheels and put the tyres on them

any other ideas?

kinda late reply but i have 35mm spacers on my 84 mod that have their own studs the spacer bolts on then u bolt the wheel to the spacer thats the easy way to go have no idea on cost though

35mm spacers cost at least $100 each if your lucky

new rims, sunraysias, are around 200 -300brand new for the 4 of them, someone might have some lieing around you could have for next to nothing.
