Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel Compatibility With 1969 Toyota Land Cruiser

Question:

I am wanting to put these rims on a 69 Toyota Land Cruiser. The original rims have a 3 1/4inch back spacing. Could you tell me the back spacing on these rims ?

The Taskmaster Steel Modular Trailer Wheel - 16" x 6" Rim - 6 on 5-1/2 - White # TA97VR have a zero off-set, so the point that the wheel mounts to the hub is exactly 1/2 way between the edges of the wheel's bead seats. These tires will mount with 3 inches behind the face of the hub accounting for 3 inches of backspacing without the tire dimension.

Trailer wheels can be used as long as you are within the weight ratings of the wheel on your 1969 Toyota Land Cruiser. I do recommend using vehicle tires on the wheels because trailer wheels are not designed for the same functions as a vehicle.
