one eye Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 What size wheel do you use to change it over to a 6 lug. I know 15 but 15x ? How wide? Are they just stock toyota wheels or Can you use after market wheels with a different offset. If you know let me know. Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flowmastered87GL Posted January 13, 2004 Share Posted January 13, 2004 I purchased 15X7 wheels from Les Schwab (white wagon wheel type) I have yet to pick them up from John (sorry john I'm trying to use my free time to get my loyale up and out of Jasons garage first) but they should fit. They have a little more offset than some stock toyota wheels ive seen. I am no expert here, just letting you know what I was told to purchase.

GeneralDisorder Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I'm running 15x6 - my spare is a 15x7. Depends on what tire your running really. I would imagine a 15x8 or even 9 would probably work, but go as narrow as you can for your tire of choice - helps to keep the tire seated well, and prevents bead popping on the trail.... also keeps some rubber between your rim and the rocks....

CamoMan Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Hey one eye, I see you gotta chopped up 79' brat. I should be gettin my 79'brat home this week and would like to go with bigger wheels but a lift is more than I paid for the car. Could you give me more info on your choped brat. Did you chop instead of lift? Did it work? Was it already ugly or did you make it that way? Thanks man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardgabe Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 i'm running 15x7 with a 4.25" offset off of a 88 dodge D50 if you go below a 4.25" offset you"ll need fender flares or wider than a 15x8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subarubrat Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 15x12 here, standard Toyota offset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeneralDisorder Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 Oh yeah - my 15x6's stick out a good 2 - 3" past my fenders. Not a problem here in OR - no one cares (even tho I think it's technically illegal....). GD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 14, 2004 Share Posted January 14, 2004 I'm gonna be running rims from a chevy LUV pickup. They're either 14X5.5 or 14X6 I think, and they stick out 2 or 3 inches more than a stock soob wheel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
