I have been looking for new wheels for my 1997 JA22W and know that they have a PCD of 5/139.7 (or 5/5.5). The new wheels I see have same PCD, specifically 16x5.5J 5/139.7 and have JB74 and JB43 in the title (
Auction page
). I am located on Guam and have to ship the wheels here, none of the local shops I went to have a correct PCD or not in bronze. Does anyone know if they will fit? Thanks in advance.
I'll put it this way - OEM wheels for The JB74 & JB43 should fit a JA22W just fine, but, the rim size you're mentioning, specifically a 16x5.5J is NOT the OEM size.
OEM size is a 15x5.5J with a 5x5.5 PCD and an ET of 5
I never said you were - my point is that OEM wheels will fit just fine - if YOU choose to use an aftermarket wheel, YOU need to confirm that it will do what YOU need.
In a nutshell, you have provided the PCD bolt pattern, the rim width & diameter - but those are not the only specifications you need to consider - offset has to be taken into account.
I see, sorry if I came off as a A-hole, and thank you for the advise on offset. I'm going to be putting a 4" suspension lift on it before I install the wheels. The wheels I'm looking at are minus 5.
I believe -5 is the offset of the OEM rims, so you should be fine with those rims, as long as you don't go overboard on the tire size.
Regarding that suspension lift - a four inch lift sounds quite extreme. If the JA22W uses the same (or a similar) coil spring setup as the JB43 & JB74, you'll probably need some sort of caster compensation so it might be an idea to make sure the kit includes it.
