Outer Limits 4x4 Board

I know its an odd request but I need to get my rig narrower (tyres under guards) for legal purposes. So far im thinking IFS hilux split rims, any other ideas? 60 series diffs under hilux, 15inch rims should fit.

15" rims will clear 60 diffs no worries...
Any IFS stockos are as positive offset as you'll get...
Hilux, Navara, Triton, etc...
TATA use damn inset wheels but can't remember if 5 or 6 stud.

yeah anything IFS, navara, rodeo etc.

ummm i don't know how narrow you'll be able to go though, patrol offset rims scrub on the knuckle arm on a 40 (very similar/same steering knuckles as a 60 diff)

I don't know how the split rims will go but 15x7 IFS rims bind up on the tierod end on a 60 series

try procomp rockcrawlers, they have a huge amount of offsets and 15s are only round 100 bucks each

you may have issues running 15s in positive offset on solid axle cruiser tho, the tie rod doesn't allow much movement in wards, 16s or 17s may clear tho?

can you not use bolt on flares or clipon soft flares to solve your problem?

also a narrower tyre may help down to a 9inch or less

good luck

Thanks for the info, didnt think about the tierod will just have to try a few sets. Only has to last as long as a RWC then there getting ripped off so dont want to spend bugger all on them.

you may get away with solid axle split rims as they are only 5.5inches wide and use a 205R16 or a 225/75/16

My Landy ute is on LC60 axles. Hilux splitties jam on the PS steering - they don't work and I would expect any of the Navara (IFS type) offsets wont work either for the same reason at least. Troopy splitties will probably work - I've a set here but so far not fitted them. -24mm offsets in 15x8 was the stocker on this for fatties, or the splitties.

Early Pajeros.... 6 stud on cruiser pcd as far as i know... I have a set if u want me to measure offset..... don't know if they will clear brakes etc tho...

its alright Ive got a few sets here I might try, thanks for the help.

As mentioned, most older IFS rims are going to rub on the steering arms. Maybe some modern 17" rims (GU, Prado etc.) will be big enough in dia" to allow the steering to sit inside the rim?

I didn't think GU rims had big enough centre holes to fit Toyota axles.

Actually yeah, your right.

Other way around, Nissan has 110mm ID, Toyota has 108mm ID.

Really, 've only seen LandCruiser rims fitted to Patrols so they give greater track width.

I'm not 100% sure on the Toyota measurement, but I just made a set of 2 inch wheel spacers and the ID required to fit the patrol hub is 110mm. The measurements I went off were for a Toyota set which were 108mm ID.

I'm pretty sure the patrol is bigger as when ordering Micky Thomson rims you have to let them know if it is for a patrol as the centre hole has to be larger

centre bore on my GQ is 110mm, and my bro's 80 series is smaller... 108 i think

I would try these...

OR brand new prado poverty pack 17s all inboard.... and 17s.. blingin...

But the stocko split rims will get you out of trouble, no problems.
