Hi there,
Are the rims from a Live Axle 100 Series the same as a IFS model.
In other words will the Alloy rims of a live front Axle toyo 2000 model fit my 2004 V8 IFS model cruiser??
Thanks in advance
Cheers
Dave

The answer is no. I have a set of IFS rims for sale in the Trader section and someone came to see/buy them and they would not fit his live axle model.

Gday Jack
You are right, but Dave is asking the other way round...they will fit, but they will also sit out an extra 40mm each, which will be real wide and out of the guard, not to mention illegal unless you put flares on and engineer it.

Dave,
There are a couple of ifs cruisers around my area with live axle wheels fitted on them. The stud pattern is the same but the offset is different (ie. they are a deeper dish wheel). They give the vehicle a wider track on the road but they also tend to protrude past the gaurds of the vehicle, they look a little odd.

Dave, all of the above is correct. If you have some live axle rims for sale I'll take them off your hands at the right price! You can have them modified to fit if required. I run a set of ROH trak 2 with a -14mm offset. what this means is that the rims are set back in 14mm from the centre line of the rim. They tend to scrub the tyres on the inside when i get lots of articulation. I am currently getting a set of factory rims modified to a 0 offset to stop this. I also have a set of Alloys that came off a Ford F100 16x10's which i had the holes welded up and re drilled to suit the LC stud pattern. I run a set of mud tyres on these.
