Excuse me if there have already been posts on this topic, but I did a search of the archives and couldn't find an answer. There appears to be general agreement that Prado rims can be fitted to Cruisers without too much hassle, but does the opposite apply. Can I fit Cruiser rims to my Prado?
I have a 2000 model Prado TD with steel rims. I recently bought an off-road camper trailer and, even though I specifically asekd for Prado rims, I got "Sunraysia rims with Crusier stud pattern". I was hoping to be able to use the trailer rims as emergency spares for the Prado and vice versa
Although stud pattern is indeed the same, someone told me they wouldn't fit as "the dish is different".
Would appreciate any relevant info on the subject as I haven't had any luck in getting a definitive answer. I have tried the local Toyota dealer who is not interested, probably because my warranty has already run out and I no longer service it there!

All 16inch 80series rims will fit the 90series Prados (same 120mm backspacing).
The 15 inch 80series rims may not clear the rear brakes.
Sunraysia type wheels (16x7 and 16x8) often have about 105mm backspacing, but fit up
well to Prados.
60/75 series splits fit up, but the backspacing is only 60mm so they sit out a lot, and I would imagine they would touch the front mudflaps on full lock.
The 16x6 Prado rims are rarely wanted and are good for fitting 235/85R16 to a trailer. The 16x7 steel Prado rims are becoming scarce now, because they fit a large range of vehicles and trailers. New 16x7
Kimberley alloys from the 2002 Prados are available in some tyre
places for as little as $500 a set of 4.

Phil
From what you and others have said, it looks like I should be OK with these rims. They are 16", so will be compatible with rim size on Prado
Thanks for the info
