I have a 100 series landcruiser with 16 x 6.00 5 stud split rims. Are these rims the same as the new utes and troopies? In particular is the offset the same and can I use them on my wagon?

I haven't actually fitted the 78/79series splits to a 105series, but I believe that all 105/78/79 series wheels have similar backspacing, the same 5 stud pattern and are interchangable.
Make sure you steer clear of the 100series IFS wheels - they have 40mm greater backspacing and won't fit.
A couple of months ago Davoe told me he tried the 78series splits on a 105 and they fitted fine.
Cheers

I guess I didn't explain myself clearly. I am going to buy 3 wheels for my caravan and need them to interchange with the tow vehicle which is the 105 series standard Landcruiser. I needed to know if the
grey wheels are exactly the same so I can mix them up with the silver ones. I have the answer thanks to everyone's help. The 105 series wheels are 6.00 and the 78/79's are 5.5, there is also a difference in offset so they are not interchangeable. Therefore I must buy silver wheels from another 105. This will satisfy insurance and my peace of mind.

Mikeee, its all clear now :-)))) You should be able to pick up 3 for not much money - the tyre
places that do the dealer's tyre swaps usually have a pile of them.
