Wouldn't that smart a bit?

Keep it in context man! Abridged quoting is a lazy way to get a laugh.

Yup. But you are talking to the person who's horizontal 'cos they're so laid back.

Yeah, give me ring in the morning....

and sort out the details.

Yeah, you don't need anything else. the spacers bolt to the hubs using your old nuts, and then you bolt the wheel to the spacers lug bolts.

If you have long/bling wheel nuts, use the nuts supplied to bolt the spacers on, and use your nuts on the wheel.

They are 30 or 32mm, can't remember off the top of my head.

Tony will they fit 16" rims on a 3rd GEN SURF.

Yup, its the same PCD for all Toy 4x4's.

Seeing as there's a big rush, what are they actually for? I thought they were there to make 'the wrong' wheels fit.

They increase the width of the track of the car. This slightly increases the stability of the car when cornering/on a bank. It also gives the car a slightly meaner looking stance.

Plus it looks better with the wheels filling out the arches more,
I was lucky enough to get some steel ones from Trackstore at the discount they were doing just before they went down the pan, £80 a set and strong a feck

Yeah, what he said, most its for show, tyres hiding under the arches always look a little meek, getting tyres level with the edge of the wheel arches is a huge step in a cool looking truck, without altering much, see front wheel of the bullet.

(Goes outside to look at truck, thinks that wheels would indeed look better further out, wonders where camera is, looks at gently spitting rain and contemplates the possibility of snow.....)

So why didn't Mr Toyota put the hubs further out?

hehe.

The Land Cruiser LJ70's have exactly the same style of alloy, but with -30mm offset, so the tyres ends up in the same place as with spacers on a Sruf alloy.

GT Dog used to have a set on his Surf. (they are in my back garden now....) and I've seen others as well.

Deeper dished wheel alwys looks nice.

a cheaper way to fill the arches with wheel, is to have a narrow body surf...

Really cheap if you get the wheels for free!!!
