Pardon me for highjacking this thread, just a quick question... anyone know what this rim is called or where it came from? Protrusions in bold type include '15x8J', '54692', 'DOT-T', 'MAX. LOAD' '2200 lbs', 'MC VIA', 'PCD' and some other compressionary stamped numbers. Possibly a manufacturing date 13 12 79 located on the rims outer lip surface. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.

 

 

 

 

They look like SixSperms, made by Scrotum Wheel

Since my previous post I've seen these with a five bolt pattern on, pardon my French, Ford Rangers.

Thought I would post some sacrilege

 

 

 

2016 - 2019 Toyota Tacoma rims.  16x8 25 ET on a '79.  I think they tuck pretty good.  Loaded the bed with firewood and it's close but no rub.

 

 

 

it'll look a little better when I get the front lowered... but it's a slow build ;-}

These came with my 620.  I haven't found much about them online besides they're vintage Lodio Drive wheels.. I'm stoked to get some rubber on 'em and see how they look!

New wheels! Watanabe F8 in 15 x 6.5 +15 fronts and 15 x 7.5 +19 rears

So, I had to buy different rims to slip over my new disc brakes.  I found some on FB Marketplace for $60 for the whole set.  They're 16x7.  They came with these massive tires (265/70/16) and I love the way it looks.  Unfortunately, as any dingaling could figure out, the fronts rub with sharp turns.  I haven't tested how sharp a turn needs to be to rub it, but I had the truck jacked up and turned the wheel and it hits, alright.

 

Which leads me to wonder, what is the largest diameter I can run without rubbing?  Could I just get thinner tires with a larger ratio and make it work?  Something like a 215/85/16?  Probably not.  But, I don't know.  They're Toyota wheels and they say 16x7JJ   15.  I think that 15 might be an offset?  Damn I know nothing about wheels or tires.  I any of you guys know, I'd appreciate any help.

Stock diameter is like 26". Those are over 30.5" making your 4.375 axle ratio 3.71..... a real performance killer. 10.5" wide don't help either. A 205/55R17 is 8" wide and about 26" tall. Eight inch is pretty damn wide. Corrects your performance and speedometer error. Sell the old tires.

Yeah.  I was thinking about that.  While I do have an engine that can push those big wheels, it's not really worth designing a vehicle around the tires.  I was playing around on Discount Tire's wheel calculator and it looks like I could put 215/65/16s on there and it would be 27" total diameter and a width of 8.46".  And according to other parts of the internet, 215s will fit a 7" rim, so it works.  Slightly larger than stock, but it's probably fine. 

 

Also, I like to haul a bunch of stuff in my truck and having those big beefy wheels in the back would probably not work with that.  So, unless I lifted the silly thing, it ain't happening.  And after reading your posts about what a nightmare lifting a 620 is, that probably isn't happening either.
