Just wondering if anyone out there has put 16 x 7 or 15 x 7 sunrasia white rims on a 97 model V6 Prado. I didnt really want to put flares on the guards.
Thanks in advance

Yep, lots of people put 16x7's on. No one puts 15x7 because the brakes are too big and the wheels don't fit.

ROH are the better quality wheel.

Oh, and you'll need to put flares on with the aftermarket wheels as they have about 15mm less backspacing than factory wheels.

The factory 16x7 with 235/85 or 245/75 tyres may just fit without flares, but you'd need to try it out.

Toyota factory RV flares are cheaper and better fit than aftermarket moulded flares (about $350).

The 35mm rubber flares are the cheapest alternative, are durable and look sort of OK.
