Found an ad for five landcruiser :

"steel split rims 7.5 x 16 five stud.
3 Kumo Road Ventures atr about 50% tread.
2 Cooper Discovery atr about 60% tread.
tyres are 235/85r16"

I didn't think standard cruiser split rims came that wide.. If they do i want them!
Can someone please confirm whether they did indeed come with that width?
I can't find any definite answers :(

May or may not be off 7x series?

the 7.5 bit is referring to the width of the tyre that can be fitted, the actual rims will be 5.5 inches wide, though I have heard that 100 series split rims were 6 inch wide?

the tyres are listed as 235/85r16" and he says that the 7.5 is stamped into the rim??
Yes 100's had 6 inch split rims :)

Landcruisers have only ever had 5.5 or 6 inch split rims. A 235/85 would surely be too narrow for a 7.5 inch rim.
