Thread: Full sized spare

    Full sized spare

    I'd like a full sized spare. Does anyone have an original wheel they want rid of?

    Failing that, any suggestions as to what it is I need to buy, size, offset etc etc? Tyre isn't important as I'll put a matching one on.

    Cheers

    I found an alloy wheel from a Honda Passport (re badged Rodeo over here) works quite nicely. I picked one up from a salvage yard for cheap, same bolt pattern, width & offset.
    Trooper, Rodeo, Amigo & Axiom wheels "should" also work.

    I combined that with a used 285/75x16" (33" dia) that I figure will be close enough in size, when mounted on the front axle, to get back to civilization.

    I may have to re think the whole spare situation when I get the big tires on...

    Since you JDM guys have the option of 2WD, perfect size match shouldn't be as big an issue as long as the spare ends up on the front axle.

    No worries, I also want to sell my BFG ATs 285 75 16 on Excite alloys if you're interested. This is funding my 35s

    The same alloys were used on troopers and Vauxhall Montereys. I've had a number of sets...

    Actually, I picked up a set for £25 down near you at one point Nick.

    Here's 4 for £50... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ISUZU-TROOPER-...item4a9efe9c1f

    There are loads on ebay right now.
