Oh NOOO... not another wheel/tyre question... but I would really like too see if someone might have an answer for my problem.
I own a LC 100 TD IFS (2006 model) and this seems to be the problem. I wanted to replace my factory alloys and buy a set of Cooper Tyres on STEEL rims. I rang around several tyre
places and all of them said that there are no steel rims available for my car and apparently the combination of the following is the problem in terms of the offset of the
wheels.
Independent Front
Suspension,
Turbo Diesel,
5 Studs
They said if it would have been a V8 they could help me out, but I assume they use 6 Studs.
Is there any way I can get Steel Rims 16x8 for my verhicle??? I find it really hard to believe that there is no soultion for my problem.
Thanks to all of you who took some of their time to read another Wheel/Tyre-Question.
Dirk

Sorry, forgot that
I have 17 inch alloys on it at the moment, but want to change to 16inch steel... that shouldn't be a problem... wouldn't see, why...
Thanks

Hi Dirk,
I had a similar problem getting steel rims for my 4X4 - though the problem was with off-set rather than stud pattern.
I wound up going to a mob in
Brisbane called Race Engineering.
They used standard ROH components and welded up the centre to my specification.
If ROH make a 5-stud centre to fit your vehicle, then they could probably do the job ... mind you, if ROH already make a 5-stud pattern to suit your LC, then they probably already have a factory wheel. (Alternatively, Race Engineering might be able to get 'blanks' and drill them to your specs.)
Do a google search for ROH
wheels and you'll turn up their site. They have a PDF fitment chart you can view to see the sizes available.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Benn

Dirk,
I replaced the factory steel's with alloys and kept the 5 pattern steels. Running BFG muds on the alloys and AT's on the steels. Check ebay as they come up all the time.

Your's is also a TD like
mine and it came with factory steel. It seems that it is all about the offset. Do you know the offset of your steel rims? is it 60p or something else?
What does 60 p actually stand for?
Thanks
Dirk

60p would be a +60 offset. It means the mounting surface (Ms) for the wheel is 60 mm outside the line of the centerline(Cl) of the rim
inside rim|.................Cl...(+60mm)...Ms.........|outside rim
If you can make sense of the diagram

Agree with Richard.
The offsets on all IFS Landcruisers are the same as far as I have seen.
The 16"
wheels of IFS Landcruisers should fit (though they won't be 17" surprise surprise) but they will be 5-stud.
They are sold frequent on eBay and usually a 5-setter goes for $200 and singles for about $50. Of course, whip up the bidding and who knows what price the nuts could pay!
Don't buy the 16" steel
wheels from Live Axle Landcruisers - they won't fit ...
well they won't work, even though they have the right stud pattern.
Ciao for now
Andrew.

I think my 2001 LC 100 TD IFS will have the same as your 2006 - I had alloys when I purchased it and have kept them with the original rubber. I purchased a set of steels from the dealer who I got the car from. Apparently a lot of people put after market alloys on & the dealers sometimes sell the OE steels cheap (about $250 for 5) Thats what I did and put Coopers on the steels.
Anyway I recently damaged one of the steels (dont ask me how) and I have been looking around for one. No big hurry, but they are available for around $50 to $65 - Toyota also sell them but want to charge half the price of a whole new car. As suggested try ebay or one of the local sunday trader papers. In
Perth Quokka is a good place to start. The other option is to let your tyre man know what you want. Next time he swaps a set of steels for alloys he can do a deal.

Member 1, Thanks, I was not aware of that. I notice the specs on my year 2001 for GXL and GXV the rims are 8JJx16 for both steel and alloy and on the specs for 2006 the Standard Diesel is the same at 8JJx16 while the TD is 8Jx17. From this you could expect them to be interchangable.

I recently bought a rim for our 78 series Troopy from Goodyear at Morayfield just north of
Brisbane. (Look up the white pages or Goodyear site for contact details) I am sure that I spied a couple of 100 series 5 stud rims there as
well - and they can get more. They sell them for $15 each second hand.
Worth while giving them a call as they say they source second hand
wheels for those of us that want more then the 5
wheels supplied with the vehicle and don't rubbish you like some dealers do if you want split rims as
well.

best advice, ring the local dealers and c if they have a set of 16X8 ifs steel
wheels,
before the cruiser went to 17inch alloy
wheels they had standard 16x8 steel rims (except for sahara), a lot of the dealers have rims lying around from when the customer requested accessory alloy
wheels, the dealers will have them.
(all 100 series cruisers have 5 stud pattern)

One more time, thank you to all of you!
All confusion is gone and I am almost on my way to pick up some steel rims.
All that only started because one tyre place told me that the current IFS V8 and IFS TD have different offsets.
All clear now.
Thanks a lot
Dirk
