landcruiser GXL RIMS

Thanks David
Thats just what I wanted to hear. My cruiser has flares and ARB side rails so they shouldn't protrude past the fenders.

I know the rims from the 100 series fit onto the 78 series but I thought the GXL rims from the 80 series had a different offset to the 75 series ute. I'm talking about the GXL rims not the standard split rims.

Cheers

I can't be absolutely certain about the offsets but this is what I found recently. My camper trailer had LandCruiser split rims on it and just out of curiosity I fitted one of GXL 16x8's. The rim was no nearer the chassis than with the 7.50/16.The offset appeared to be all outwards. I was then give a set of Prado rims which I have permanently fitted and they miss the chassis by the same amount as the 16x8s and the split rims. It would therefore appear that the inner offset for Toyota rims stays the same but the outward offset is changed depending on the car to which they are being fitted. Also check the following:- even though a Prado rim may fit your car, its load rating may be insufficient and in the event of an accident, your insurance company may wipe you. Again, get a second opinion on this information. Derek.

Derek,

Landcruiser split rims come in two different offsets. The RV 80 series rims have the same backspacing as you described. But the 75 series rims are the same as the 60 and 40 series and have considerably less backspacing.
