350 for all 5 id buy them ... there 16x8 with a 4.5''' back spacing and yes they will fit

 

[JWaldz]

Hell I say go for it.. they might be a little rough but cleaned up, sanded, and painted they'll look sweet. I been wanting to get mine powder coated for some time now. Like his ad says, you will need the different kind of lugs, your standard lugs you have now will NOT fit.

Go for it! Love the look of LC wheels on 3rd gens

 

[awpsome]

one thing i love about the LC wheels is the backspacing. IIRC they can squeeze 285s in there without rub issues and wheel spacers

Seems high to me, but not bad. Go for it. I almost bought a set myself, but a guy a few minutes before me snaked them.

Love the look of those on 3rd gens, some of the strongest and lightest wheels you can buy, if only they fit over the Tundra brake swap.

I personally dont like em... I think you should get em and trade me for my factory 5 spokes..... :naughty:

 

[corny]

Thanks guys! might get em soon.

What king of lugs would i need to buy? in his ad he says he'll include
"19 acorn lugs and 5 standards for the 24 lugs needed to install"
but i don't think those will work so can you guys give me a solid answer of what i need to correctly install these? thanks!

Something similar to this is what I used on mine, bought bulk boxed:
Dorman Products - 98963
93 Landcruisers have the same thread as the 4Runner's but an acorn style nut.

Lugs

hit up 4wheelwarehouse and buy a set of new lugs. Chances are the lugs you have now wont fit those wheels. :girl:

 

[the great him]

you need the acorn style lugs good luck, ps id get em if i was you, i would be running a set right now if i hadnt done the 231 TBU

 

[kyn8]

they're getting harder to find - at least in my area where they're near impossoible to come accross.

wheelers offroad has the lugs you'll need and they even have an extended shank acorn style so you can run a 1/4 spacer to clear tundra 231's and not lose purchase on your studs.

Get em! One of my favorite wheels on the 3rd gens. A little elbow grease and they'll look good as new.

There is a writeup on what paint to use to get these wheels looking like stock in the 80 series section of ih8mud.com or, of course, you could paint them whatever color you want.

 

[Clemsonfan15]

Those are very rough. The only way I'd buy them is if I was going to extensively sand and paint them.

Wheelers sells the lugs for a dollar a piece and I bought a gorilla acorn style lock kit for 13 which included 4 wheel nuts.

 

[JWaldz]

Here's for reference. Like everyone has said, you'll need the acorn/tapered style. I've had no problem with mine. Clean them up and get some caps for them and they'll look fine. Mine look far worse than the these and I still get questions and compliments all the time. Then again, I kinda like that they are rough, makes me not feel so quilty bashing them up offroad. They are one tough wheel though.

 

[cj80cruiser]

Use some filler primer after you sand and clean them well....should look pretty good
