i scored these white Jeep meshies off craigslist for fourty bucks. NO curb rash, i would say , condition wise, they are a 9.5/10. the guy wanted 50, i told him id give him 40 cause i didnt know if they would work. hahha either way i couldnt pass it up. i love meshies do yall know if i will run into any problems. they are 15x7''. i dont know the offset. here is them on the jeep (biggest pic i got) this is what they look like up close (google image)
hell yeah. and the guy lived like half a mile from me. double score. and they have newish thirty ones on them that i can give to my dad for is 87 4wd. triple score. hahaha
my only concern looking at them is they look really far in, like they have no lip to em, so you might have to run spacers so you can turn... if i remember corectally jeep hubs come really close to the fender so they dont have a lot of offset or whatever..no lip. ya,
Hey I just picked up the same wheels yesterday in GOLD and in need of a real good cleaning. From research I think i may have clearance issues mounting them up to my @2WD 88 since the Jeeps stock backspacing is 5.5" (tucks IN more) which may lead to upper arm interference or rubbing on deep turns. I can only assume that switching to lower profile tires like 205/60R15s MIGHT work for this application, but I dunno. NICE WHEELS!
you may have to run some spacers. i think 1" bolt on spacers will be perfect. you know what? look for jeep spacers, 5x4.5! that's what i'm running Jeep spacers.. 1.5" heheehe
i have a set of these wheels too! my dad loves cherokees.. missing 2 wheels because my dads friend wanted to clean them...like 2 years ago hope i can get it back.. nice score man and hope to see your install on them! that way it only takes one try for me to put it on!
installled them yesterday. wrapped them with 186 65 15s, they work great. no rubing. pics as soon as i go outside
I ran these - on my 1984 YN57 Hilux with 205/65's on them. They are a 15x7 with 25P offset, only issue is you can't run the factory centre caps. Callum
Show us a pic phil! people dont seem to realize its going on a 78 hilux. those things love high offset. i am running 16x7.5"+45 right now with a spacer thats about 10mm. hits on the lower control arm at full lock. but at 1/4 turn less than lock on the steering wheel, i have tons of clearance all over. so a 15x7 should be good. 185 will feel a little sketchy if you start modding the motor though. but the back can go bigger so thats okay. i wanna see pics. i always wanted to try them.
Here are the set I picked up I'm thinking 205/60R15s proly just dumpster dive for 1 tire get it mounted to see what happens
Me thinks I'm gonna need some 1.5" spacers to work on my RN50 $110 seems like a lot considering I got the wheels for less than half of that Maybe craigslist will have some used ones. Might do a respray and polish up the lip a bit while I wait.
sorry it took like a month but here is the pics. been super busy hunting for work again. but i got a job today, so its time to sit back, relax, and peruse TM
wheels dont look to bad. i think with the trucked dropped and the wheels maybe painted a different color it would look sick
