SVX wheels on 78 toyota 1/2 ton?

Featured Replies

I have a toyota camper with all 4 tires damaged, but it has 14 inch rims, and tires for the rear are impossible to find(265/70 14)

 

I have found on craigslist a set of svx wheels. from what i know, the toyota has 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

 

would this work? what is the offset if anyone knows?

 

I have to consider a rim that will accept a modern size tire

as long as the rim itself fits around the calipers/drums i'm sure 16's will work.

 

there was always plenty of wheelwell space in the rear, plus i have air adjustable shocks to raise it up if need be.

 

so long as they fit on the rear, im good to go. the fronts had 185/70 14, which i replaced the old bias ply tires that were larger in diameter.

 

these rims have no tires. i would have to consider the cost of 16 inch tires.

 

dude wants 200 for the rims, but agreed to 150 if i know they would work.

 

edit: BTW i just found a set of 215/60 16 tires on CL for 35

Ive had a couple of '79 3/4 ton 2wd's and currently an 84 3/4 ton 2wd. I run lt's on stock 14's no prob, and cherokee and others will bolt up.

I would test-fit first. my only concern would be too much offset, and the inside of the rim hitting suspension components and such. trucks tend to use less offset to more evenly transfer weight to the ground, whereas cars use more to put less strain on the bearings.

 

also, center hole. I have no idea what the sizes on either would be....but I've had that problem mixing and matching wheels on other cars. lug pattern is the same, but the center hole doesn't clear the hub.

i have decided to take the dodge/ford steelies approach. I can get them with tires relatively cheap at the junkyard, and i really need only 2 of them since the front wheels will fit regular 185 or 195/70 14 tires.

 

I appreciate the advice, though, it would be too cool to roll on svx wheels on the camper!
