16" Wheels on Exceed?

16" Wheels on Exceed?

Postby DannyS on Mon Aug 22, 2016 7:29 am

Hi Guys,

Wondering if anyone has fit 16" wheels on an Exceed or if they will fit?

Ive heard rumors that the discs are bigger on the exceed which wont allow for a smaller then standard 17" wheel.

Any assistance would be great.

Cheers

I would be extremely surprised if the brakes were not identical between all variants. Looking at my GLS, there is bucket loads of clearance between the discs/calipers and the 17" rim. A 16 would fit easily.

Same size brakes all through the range. And glx/glx+ come with 16 inch rims

I have checked the compliance plate on my Exceed and it says the car comes standard with 16" wheels.

That being said they come with a standard P38 Offset.

I have ordered king steel wheels in a p25, with 285/75/16 BFG's.

Lets hope the scrubbing is minimal.

If my calcs are correct, that size is 84mm larger in diameter than the factory tyres.
It's way past the 50mm legal upsize limit, and I'd be super surprised if they don't rub somewhere.

16" wheels fit all MQ's fine. There are other people running that size on this forum. From memory they had to cut/remove their mudflaps and they all had a lift kit.

Have exceed and 245/75R16 on 16x7 et30 best fit and no lift.
265/75R16 will only just rub so small lift is needed but in victoria anythung bigger requires engineering cert... even the 265/75s make it 4-10mm to big for leagl.... pricks
