4Runner Rim Lug Nut Type? Conical v. Flanged

psfpilot · 07-30-2007, 09:16 PM

I'm trying to locate some alloy rims, 15x7JJ(10), with the countersunk lug nut holes that have steel inserts on the face that mates w/ the conical lug nuts.
Somebody stole the spare tire on our 1992 Land Cruiser, and I'm trying to locate one that will work with conical lug nuts. Are there any years of 4Runners that have the alloy wheels with the reinforced seats for conical lug nuts?

I located a 4Runner/Mini Truck/T100 rim that looked the same, but upon closer inspection it requires flanged lug nuts. The casting says 15x7JJ-8, v. 15x7JJ(10) on the OE Cruiser wheel, and says OFFSET 8 in the casting as well, whereas the Cruiser rim doesn't say anything about offset. What is the significance of these castings?

Here's the basic appearance of the wheel:

correct me if i'm worng here. the top conical lug nut is for steel rims. only the tapered part of the nut is in contact with rim.

the bottom flanged nut is for aluminum/alloy rims. the tapered part does NOT contact rim, the flange, actually a washer is pressing down on the rim.

BTW, the thread patern is 12mm x 1.5 pitch.

Many alloy rims use conical nuts, just not factory yota rims, as far as I have seen.

The 91-92 alloy Land Cruiser wheels look like 4Runner wheels, but have steel inserts in countersunk holes that fit the conical washers.

I'm trying to find out if there were any years of 4Runners/Mini Trucks/T100s that have the same conical lug nut wheel design, so I can expand my junkyard options to other models. Two years' production of Land Cruisers doesn't leave me with any local wrecks to pillage.

Thanks for the help. I found a Cruiser wheel locally that will work.
