It's good to see what choices others make. I'll keep the wheel diameters at 21" to keep good fuel economy and top end speed (larger tires increase the gear ratio and prevent the engine from max RPM). I'll keep the 12" rims to have as much sidewall as possible to soften the ride. Think it through and often the best solution is what the engineers originally specified. Going with Yokohama Super Digger II tires for good on & off road performance.
One more thing if you don't mind, what's the width of the wheel? The factory options are 12-inch wheels: 4.5Jx12 or 5Jx12 or 13-inch wheels: 4.5Jx13 or 5Jx13. I've found sleelies with width of 6J. Not sure if they fit. Will appreciate your opinion.
I have the exact same BBS wheels on my 1995 Honda ACTY Van. Did you have to change out the wheel studs? I noticed my BBS wheels wouldn't allow the stock studs to stick out enough so the lug nuts can thread onto them.
@@bondycheung5536The best option is to add a wheel spacer. It’ll have longer studs and I was able to thread the lug nuts onto the studs. Problem solved.
Brilliant!!! Just what I needed as I'm 'beefing up the wheels on my 1997 super carry..... Are you on Facebook? I've not been able to find someone in the UK to getadvice from! Really enjoyed your video. Atb....
I love the narration format of your videos. The production quality is excellent! Great job, I’m dying to get one of these trucks.
Nice video 👍
Could you provide information on that nice muffler (exhaust) please. Thank you

I'm very jealous of having a connection for powdercoating. I have so many things I wish I could coat.
sick video 🔥 loving the Kei truck 🚚 👌
Thanks dude 🤙
Those BBS’s look like they have been living with the Great Barrier Reef for the last few decades, that’s insane.
I know right 🤣
I've just noticed the sizes are wrong at the end for the Steelies. They're 16". Only took me 4 months to notice 🙃
What’s the tires size on the steelies, please?

@Kosta Du go to 7.34 in the video and take a screenshot my man 👌
@Kosta Du all depends on the offset. You can make anything fit as long as it clears brakes, springs and bodywork.
Any chance you could provide you new top speed compared to stock? Trying to collect some data on diameter and width effect on speed.
Looks great
77mph
Awesome video mate! Think you wheel specs at the end are a bit wrong... you’ve got your steelies down as 13s, but pretty sure they’re 16s. Cheers!
Ahhh shucks. That's what 8 hours of editing in a day does to you - completely missed it.
You're right though for anyone reading this.

I haven't mate no. There's around 20mm showing through the wheel, but I'd need another 7mm to fully fill the nut.
Did you happen to sovle the this? Recently got a hijet and found some BBS's as well. But the lugs barely fit...

Hey, serious question! How did you colour your interior?? Mine is all faded and would look brilliant with a re-colour.
No idea Ben 😅
Was already like it when I bought the truck unfortunately.
@@lookship thanks for the reply. I’m curious, does it ever smell like paint or something? like on a hot day when the windows were up?
Thanks 🙏
have some bbs for my truck but only tire option shops gave me were 185+ and the fronts rub, wondering if the 175 rub at all?
Nope no rubbing

I certainly am. I'm also considering selling my winter wheels for the truck if they tickle your fancy? Having a bit of a garage clear out 😅
This is all well and good mate, but... where's the Exige I saw you post on the FB group the other day? o_O
It's a story I don't want to bring up because it hurts too much 🥲😅
@@lookship Ah, really sorry to hear that. Loving the consistent video quality & Kei truck though!
What model is this sir?
Address on the tyre sticker? Took me a while to figure you weren't that ashamed of Toyos 😅
Haha yeah. Forgot to remove them before filming/fitting them. Just got the cheapest branded set I could, nothing flashy 😄
Where did you get that speedmometer?
I'll message the place I bought the van from bud and ask for a link 👍
@@lookship okay thank you I'd really appreciate it
Ahh there we go. Just off Amazon 🤙

@@lookship any word about the speedometer
Great video, title says kei truck, yet keeps referring to it as a van ??
It's pronounced Kay not key in Japan
I know it is and yet I still say it wrong every time 🤣
Why do you keep calling a truck a van?
Because I'm a moron. But there are people who identify as pigeons nowadays so let me have this one 😅
