kyle, i dont remember the exact bore of the centerhole, but i do remember having a good bit of room left over over the hubs...

i htink those wheels you want to get will fit fine... might be a little worried about the centercap though, as the toyota hub has the bearing and dust cap as part of the rotor

Those wheels will fit but the question is how low are you going?

2" Spindle Drop in the front, 3" Spring drop in the rear, then i'll play with the torsion bars after that.

That is the reason I'm looking for 4wd fenders and a bed, they are flared out more so the tires/wheels will tuck inside.

in the picture of my red one, the tbars were basically uncranked, the control arms were sitting on the bumpstops...... and it had a 3" rear block

When I first lowered my truck I had the stock wheels with 195/60/14's & the tires tucked into the fenders no problem. I would stick with a standard off set wheel, this way you don't have to change the bed or front fenders, unless this is a mod you want to do?

Deffinetly don't want to do that, that is why I'm going with the spindles, I don't want a crappy ride.

Can't do blocks, it's against my religion.

It depends really, I really like the wheels in the picture, the wheels that are on there now I don't really like, so I'll see what offset the ones I have on there now have cause they sit about 1/2" too far in.

Any updates on this?
BTW, are you still thinking about bobbing it?
I think the photo shop of the bob looked sweet
and would be different to any of the other low
riders I have ever seen.

No updates on it yet. Been to busy with other stuff but hopefully I'll have time to work on it this weekend.
Still thinking about the bob, but more concerned with getting it running, after it's running cherry, then I'll get started on the mods.

I'm also stuck between making it a low rider or a prerunner. That Total Chaos Fabrication kit just looks so damn sweet I can't decide.

PRERUNNER!!!! I already suggested it.

That last pic looked sweet.

Duffil · « **Reply #117 on:** Aug 01, 2008, 07:24:39 AM »

If you want mileage out of it, make it a lowrider. Better aerodynamics and less mass as far as the wheels are concerned.

And that is where I'm torn.

i used to be into and build bagged trucks......
lo rider=very hard to sell and you would be lucky to get 25% of the money you put into back.
pre runner=mild demand for them, and they are a blast. but lots off $ to build and a 22r would barly cut it.
