I'm just wondering if anyone has put 18 inch mags on their 90 series Prado?
I was told the highest I could go is 17 inch.

Dude that GU looks like a 4 legged spider with big shoes on!
Re 18" wheels: I don't see why not. As long as the offset is maintained it should be fine. Normal 90 series (not including RV) rims are 16"x7". As a rough guide, for every inch you increase the wheel diameter you should increase the width by about 0.5". E.g. 16"x7" > 17"x7.5" > 18"x8" etc.
To maintain the same width and diameter tyre as stock you would need 265/60/r18 tyres which would limit your choice of mud/AT tyres.[B]Declan[/B]: [SIZE=1]1997 GXL 4.5 Auto 80 series on [B][COLOR="#FF0000"]LPG[/COLOR][/B], ARB bullbar, 2" OME lift, 32" MTZ, GME UHF, rear ARB locker, Kaymar spare wheel carrier[/SIZE]

If you're sticking to around the same tyre size (rolling diameter), getting a larger rim will mean less rubber (low profile), which isn't ideal for offroading.
There's plenty choices of rubber available for 17".
I don't know why you'd bother though.glen_ep - engineered, 4" lift, 33" 255/85R16, lockers, 4.88 ratios www.pradopoint.com.au/showthread.php?17237 www.youtube.com/user/glenep www.fb.com/groups/ToyotaPrado90Comment

Im running 20" with 295 45 20 tyres, next will be the 305 50 20 tyres
I do no off-roading so this is fine, and plows through snow fine! Also due to low profile tyres hardly any roll and good for round abouts (I live in Milton Keynes)

An old thread I know but I am running 265/60/R18 Hankook A/T's on mine with not an issue at all. 2in lift fitted as well.
