Changing from Alloy to Steel wheels
Hi - I have a fairly simple question, I think, which I hope someone can help me with.
I'm currently preparing my Toyota HDJ80 Land Cruiser for a biggish jaunt to north/west africa and beyond next year. The car is currently fitted with Alloy wheels (16 x 8 J fitting) and I'm considering changing to Steels they are arguably a bit less fragile and certainly easier to fix if you ding the rim.
My question is about sizing. Try as I might, I can't find any 16 x 8 steel wheels, though I can find lots of 16 x 7 ones. Is it the case that the same size of tyre (265/70 x 16 in this case) would typically fit larger alloy than steel wheels, or am i just looking in the wrong place for wheels?
hope you can help!
cheers -Andy B
