Choose a wheel suitable for 4wd's or swap out your spindles for 2wd luv items.

Don't dismantle your truck just for a set of wheels. :smt011 If you were to swap spindles, and it all worked out well, you would also have to remove the front drive shafts so they don't flop around under there......You'd just open up a big barrel of pain in the ass. Leave the hubs as they are, and find wheels you like that fit a 4X4 LUV. There should be many choices of wheels that have the larger hub hole for a 4X4. :wink:

:signiagree

Took me almost 3 weeks to find a decent set of wheels on CL for my 4x4. Everyone was either insane on price for just wheels, or a decent price for wheels and tires but the tires would always be 32's and up, or somebody would beat me to a good deal. Finally got a set of Toyota 15's that fit perfect, even my stock center caps fit.

Yeah I guess I'll have to leave it I tried looking for nice rims to stick with the 4x4 but can find a good set im going to the junk yard see if I find a 2wd luv. Can I take the spindles off that should work right?

Not really. What will you do with the CV joints and axels? What will you do with the front differential?
Again, if you don't want the 4X4 then sell it and get a 2wd.

Well thinking of taking all that off I guess?? I'm currently looking for a 2wd luv to buy umma take the whole truck and change them around my body is pretty straight and no rust so that's the plan I guess I just thought I could've worked with it what I got instead of buying more Luvs
