Just wondering what rims I can put on my NG long wheel base.
I have 2 inches of body lift on the girl and Lovells
suspension so cleasrance won't bother.
Cheers

Not sure which model you have, but NG biggest legal would be 31x10.5/15 on 7x15 or 8x15 rims. That is with a max of 15mm greater than stock as required by the registration bodies.
Standard rims are pretty close to 0 (zero) offset, so most patrol rims fit. landcruiser usually have toomuch offset.
Now if you want to fit the biggest that will fit, 32" OD fit fine and 33" fit with a little catching on full lock. So that makes it 265/75/16 or 285/75/16.
Your speedo willbe out by at least 10% (read low), which is another legal issue.
Also, you loose at least 10% power from the engine, and you first low in 4L will now be at least 10% higher, and 1st in normal range will make
hill starts a lot harder on the clutch.
The choice is yours :o)
