Hi!
I’m Tiffani, I’m in Maryland and I’m working on fixing up my Australian right hand drive 81’ HJ47 Troopy.
I have lots of questions….

 

[TroopyTiff]

I need wheels...my body guy said mine are rough and probably by the time we mess w them and get them right I may as well get new. problem is...I dont know what im looking for!!
so...what am i looking for and where can i find it? lol

 

[TroopyTiff]

Anyone...?

Looking at the pictures your wheels are not original so you need to find a wheel with the correct stud pattern and offset to suit your vehicle and also the chosen tyre size you want .
You current wheels and tyres will provide all that info so then it's time to go shopping....

Hello Tiffani it might be that some members who know the 40 series are away on holiday now that kids are back at school so you may have to wait for a reply for your wheels and tyres have you tried looking through the 40 series forum for answers to your question just a thought

A good starting point would be www.sor.com or www.ccot.com both 40 specialists. Depends on the intended use for the truck - if you are intending to off-road then I suggest steel rims as rocks etc can easily damage alloys; if resto then both have split rims.

Tyres again depends on what you are going to be doing with the truck.
