    hi my name is Conrad and I'm From the Philippines.

    first of all i really like Toyota more than others, my first Toyota was a 1974 toyota sprinter, (Te27/Ke25) it was powered by a 4AGE converted to Twinside Weber 45s carburetors.
    i called it the ORANGE PIRANHA

    then i shifted to other car, which is a Mitsubishi L200.
    i'm really into lowered rides cause it looked so good when running or even sitting on the parking lot.

    i called it the SILVERSURFER

    the because i loved toyota, and also pick up trucks,
    i bought a toyota 1985-86 sr-5 pickup.

    i called it the Project:SUPTRUCK

    cool project you got there. 4x4 fenders will give you a little more clearence for some bigger wheels.

    Hey, a fellow filipino!!! Welcome aboard!!! Nice progress on your SR5. To quote another Toyota enthusiast about your wheel predicament, he simply states... "Offset is everything"! To be safe use an offset designed for a front wheel drive vehicle. I'm using wheels that were supposed to be an application for a newer Honda Accord. You can play with the offset a little if you want to use an aggessive tire width. Ditto on the 4X4 front fenders BTW.
