Looking at rotors do only FJ rotors fit on stock wheel?

So I have been looking for some rotors for the FJ and been looking at maybe doing a wheel mod as well. Is there any rotors that would fit the FJ and the new wheel with the mod? Or should I try and find a wheel that maybe has rotors mounted to them to save some cash?

87- 88 FZR wheel. FJ rotors and calipers will fit right on bolt for bolt.

If you want to keep running the stock '84 wheels, IIRC, someone recently posted a pic of an early FJ with Virago 700 rotors mounted up.

Bolt pattern looks the same, but you'll need to confirm the other dimensions as well.

OK, I got ya. Sorry about the bum lead,  thanks Pat for catching that. He would need newer model FJ forks.   :hang1:

The 84'-86' front 16" wheels have a large center hub and the rotors do not transfer to most of the common front wheel mods that members do.
