OEM Titan and Chevy wheels will not work... the hub centers on those wheels are TINY... You need wheels off of a Montero, 4Runner, or Isuzu... The larger the bore the better, 108mm should be what you are looking for, IIRC...

4runner rim with be fine, as long as it's a 6-lug wheel that fits most Toyotas.
I've taken mine on some rugged terrain before as well but nothing too crazy. My GX is running on Wrangler Silent Armors, which are pretty good from my experience. I had BFG A/Ts on my FJ80 and those were a charm too.
Be sure to take off the running boards (I made the mistake of keeping them on during an 8 hour trail run and scrapped the passenger side, LOL).

I don't recall exactly where i saw it but I think it was either in the taco or t4r.org forum...it was definitely an older 4runner like early 80's or so.
