17" wheels for caravan

Andrew,

Try ROH, they make a series for Landcruisers 100/200 series.

Many tyre retailer can supply. Load rating is 1000Kgs.

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.

Andrew,

I have these steel wheels on my Bushtracker.

I chose 17"X8" with a zero offset so that they would fit the van and could be used as a last resort spare on my 200 Series (I realise you have a 100, and there may be slight differences).

Trawl through the website and maybe give them a ring (03 9988 9820 ) and see what they have that would suit your situation. Ask them about ratings etc.

Also, for info, I chose these tyres to put on them: Hero Dynastorm A/T Tyres

Well priced at $175 each when I bought them, things may have changed a little now with the Aussie dollar dropping, but they have carried my BT from Perth to Cooktown (QLD) and back without any issues at all. There is an outlet in Victoria.

None of these trailer manufacturers realy want to do anything out of the ordinary.

This guy has tried to fob you off with out even thinking.

Start by looking at the load rating on the tyre plackard of your vehicle....104 is 900Kg.
If the original tyres on your vehicle have a load rating of 104 or higher the wheels MUST be rated accordingly.

Then go to your glovebox manual...some where in there there will be the information regarding towing and loading.....there should be a maximum permissable load capaity for the rear axle.

If it is over 1800Kg...or even close...... the wheels have to be rated accordigly.

Come on now..it would have to be a pretty piss B&$@#Y poor landcruser wheel to be rated less than 900Kg.

One thing to make very sure of.

If you are specifying other than the wheels the trailer manufactuer uses every day.

Make sure the width and off set are accounted for and if necessary the axle length is corrected.

Bet ya boots they just want to fit the same axle they use on every other trailer and they don't want to think about offsets and they certainly do not want to buy a single special axle.


cheers

Hi, i am picking up a van this month- drive an LC 200 with 18 inch wheels- 285/60 R18

i am getting same wheels on van for obvious reasons

main issue is getting offset right as many manufacturers didnt know how to do it. not sure about weights- the guy building mine is an engineer so he should know what he is doing
