cheap/good looking rims
 

Hey guys, I really want to run 285/75/16s and think im going to have to get new rims with less backspacing. I currently have the 16" factory rims and want to get a new set that will fit the 285s. the only catch is that i do not have a lot of $$$. What do you guys suggest. Please show pics or links

thanks

Can't go wrong with the black beadlocks.

i am currently running 285-75 16 mtr's on stock wheels i believe they are from a 2003 and i have them on a 1986 truck and i'm not having any issues with the back spacing they fit the wheel fine with no problems also

hmm....a lot of people have said they have had problems running them on a 3rd gen with stock wheels. I plan on getting a 1" RB BL so rubbing the body isnt quite an issue. more with the A-arms

they may have problems on the 3rd generation i have the wheels on a 1986 truck so there will be some difference

buy my tires and wheels (brand new) for $650, and then sell the tires for $500 on Ebay. Can't beat that

what price range?? 50 per wheel?? 150???

You could try to find a set of Land cruiser wheels/lx450. I have seen them going for 300-400 a set.
Another option, not sure if it fits, is the 98-2002 16" LC wheel. They are a double split 5 spoke. They are everywhere and are cheap. PLus, I have never seen a 4r with them. :rockon:

hmm..ill have to look into that. I was planning on spending between 50-100 per wheel max

I got the crager soft 8s on my rig. They ran me $160 shipped from jegs. Pics can be seen at my car domain site.

BTW: what backspacing am i looking for to run the 285s?...4.5?

Call "Kyle" at the Charlotte, NC store, a Toyota wheeler himself, he'll do you right...

thanks brian. I actually like those wheels. Does anyone have a pic of black wheels on a Green 3rd gen 4runner. if so please post pics.

thanks

american racing black wagon wheels for me...216 shipped to my door from summit...I swear these rims will look good on anything!!!!

the 98+ LC wheels are 5-lug and NOT 6-lug like the 80/LX wheels that I have...

The wheels that I have are 16"X8" with 4.25" BS. Stock is 16"X7" with 4.375" BS. The steelies are 16"X8" with 4.50" BS.

Here's a pic of brian's rig w/ the steelies and 285 MT/R's...

Here's mine w/ Brian's black steelies before I traded them for my LX wheels:

And here's a blurry one of my LX Wheels w/ the same MT/R's:

Here are the black steel rims that they could not balance (hubcentric vs. lugcentric):

After returning the rims for a full refund after months of aggravation, I just painted the stockers black:

I understand you are looking for different backspacing, but you asked for 4Runners with black rims, so you got 'em! :)

check http://www.ih8mud.com forum along with ebay and local wrecking yards. i got 4 in a trade and then got the 5th from a local yard.

1998+ for LCs are 5 on 5.5, not 6 on 5.5. They won't work. You need 1997-
