yeah not a common size at all... still, either way hacking up an original LJ rim seems like a shame.

If you were going to cut the centres out to flip them, I wouldn't bother putting the old 4.5 rim section back on, I'd find some Toyota 16x5.5 rims (either solids or split rim) and mount those rims to the LJ centres with the original backspacing, which will give you an extra 13mm pos offset.
