FYI on Toyota wheels compatibility to Montero SR
Just wanted to throw this out there, I was recently offered (4) wheels with mint Michelin tires on them plus spare for $500. Problem was my 1996 montero sr had 15's. The hole pattern matches but the mitsubishi hubs are a bit too large. Problem solved this way; purchased a 4 1/4" Milwaukee hole saw from home depot (lowes does NOT carry 4 1/4"!). Just bore out the center hole from the inside as there is a nice chamfer there allowing the hole saw to self center. The wheel center's on the studs not the center hole so no need to be super accurate. The only problem you will encounter is the center caps don't fit. The rear ones do but not the front ones. Make sure you bore slowly, use a lubricant.
Good luck
Good luck
