Rim Questions

Anyone know which 4x4 model (hilux, patrol etc) has either a 6x16 rim or a 6.5x16 rim (preferably not split rim), which are available cheap - they are needed as donor outers to have new centers inserted.

And another question - is the inner well (narrowest part) of all 16" rims the same diameter?

6" wheels

G'day Ben,

Early Rangie wheels are 6" aren't they?

Yeah they are Max but they are getting a bit old and hard to find now, and the centres are supposed to be a bit weak. I figured it would be better to get some newer outers and fit LR centres.

I know of some rims that are 16" steel, but they won't fit your cheap category- current model 2litre 4 cylinder Vitaras are supposed to have them. Been looking into some to put on my Feroza for on road use.

A heap of vehicles came out with these rims - these are the ones I can think of:

Early Pajeros
Triton utes 4x4
Hilux utes 4x4
Rodeo utes 4x4
Jackaroos

There would be more, check your local wrecker, they have millions of them, they use them to hold up the bodies in the yard.
