Newbie...what do I have

Greeting all,

New here, so excuse the dumb questions....

I just purchased a 93 landcrusier and I'm trying to figure out what model it is. Long story short...I just moved to Japan, and purchased this rig. It needs new tires, so hell, lets upgrade. I don't what to lift it but just want larger tires..problem is everywhere I look, the internet says it comes stock with 16 in rims, but this rig has 15 in rims. Soooo, what do I have?

It kinda looks like this but it is a 5-speed manual, with a 3.0 diesel. The rear bumper on mine is different also.

Sounds like a 70 Series Prado which where built manufactured up until 96 when the 90 series was released.

70scool. Although I'm not sure how much info there will be about the early prado you have even though it is technically a 70 series. You will have to join to view info.
ih8mud. Again, not sure how much info there will be for your truck.

Re: Newbie...what do I have

Ham, the BFG ATs come in that many different sizes I'm sure there is one to suit your vehicle. These are a reasonably popular tyre over here in Australia. So is Coopers, Mickey Thompson and other brands as well.

Here are some links for reference and yes they do have 15 and 16 inch wheels, just with width of the rim that needs to be considered:
Yankee Site
Australian Site
Japanese Site
Japanese Site - Available Tyre Size

Speak to a tyre dealer and they should be able to help you out.
