I am in the process of having a new van built and would have preferred 17" wheels with stud pattern to interchange with my LC100 Sahara.

However the van manufacturer tells me that caravan wheels for van (ATM around 3200 kgs) must be rated as 900kgs per wheel.

Tyres are no problem, many choices rated more than that but WHEEELS?.

Anyone any idea of who makes a 900 kg rated 17" wheel?

The 17" 200series wheels will fit the 100series (same 60mm offset and stud pattern).
Toyota sell the genuine 200 series steel wheels for around $140 each new. I don't know exactly what the rating is, but its more than 900 kgs.

The 200series 17" factory mags are 1250kg I am led to believe.

The steel Dynamic 17x8 wheels on my Tvan are 30mm offset and have 1400kgs stamped on them - but they will stick out 30mm more if fitted to your 100series.

Yep egg zackey.

The Toyota 200 steel rims are rated at 1250kg and have the same offset ( P60) and stud pattern ( 5 x 150) as the Sahara 100.

You can get the wheels for $110 if you press the dealers. They generally take a day or two to get into stock.

Also not many after market rims are rated to 1250kg, a requirement of the 200. If you buy these wheels, then upgrade to a 200 or sell the van then they are still compatible.

Good luck finding a Toyota rating for their 200 Series 17" rims!!

A few years ago I upgraded the ATM on our van from 3500kg hoping to reach 4500kg. The limiting factor was the 200 Series Alloy rims fitted. NO ONE at Toyota would tell us what the load rating was. I tried every possible approach, including Toyota Japan. They would not tell me.

Yes, the tyres must be rated at 1250kg, but that does not relate to wheel load rating (would you believe).

My Engineer then had to rely on Axle ratings on the 200 Series, resulting in a "wheel rating" of 975kg.

You would expect that Toyota must know what the 200 Series rims are rated at, but certainly would not share that information with us.

Good luck.

LOL I went through that merry go round too. About the best answer you can get from Toyota is "refer to the owners manual"

However I am talking about the steel Toyota rims, not the Alloy ones.

Either way the OP needs 950kg so should be ok. Also you need to secure a loan from the world back to get the alloy OE wheels, $900 ea is about par. Even wreckers want $600 or more. The steelies can be had from a dealer for $110.
