150 gx alloy offset compared to 120 gx steelies

Hi, I have done a bit of a search but still am after some confirmation from anybody else that has done it.

I have a gx prado 150 with standard alloys, I want to run interchangeable wheels and tyres on my camper trailer.
I can get second hand 17 inch steel 120 rims for about $65 each. Will they be interchangable if required and how does the offset compare. They would only be interchanged in an emergency to get to civilization to get the normal tyres repaired.


I don't have a huge amount of room for a lot of rearward offset on the camper. Standard steel hilux 16s just clear.

Thanks

Andrew,
Am going through the same thing now. Trying to get wheels on a Kimberley Kampers that will match my Prado 150GX wheels (17x6.5) so I interchange spares if I have to.
What did you end up doing.

As the chart shows, the 120 series wheel will sit 5mm closer to the suspension than the 150 series wheel. It will not rub unless full of mud with a 265 width tyre. I would not fit a wider tyre than that or it will rub.
