15" RIMS

Post by jwilkinson »

I was wondering if any of you could tell me if 15" rims fits on a 1998 Patrol? I spoke to someone regarding this before and the feedback I got was that you have to run spacers to get clearance for the brake calipers. I have seen a number of 15" fitments though and have not noticed spacers on any of those fitments. From what I have read up I believe that it is a problem if you have the 4.8 but it should be fine on the 4.5?

My 1998 4.2 diesel runs on 15" rims. I presume the petrol models have similarly sized brake rotors?

They fit my 1994 Patrol, which has factory rear drum brakes.
