Hi, I'm new to this forum and was wondering if I could ask some questions.
I have a 150 GX with the standard 17/6.5 wheels. I'm getting a camper trailer built to my specs and have an opportunity here to match wheels on the camper to my prado.
We are setting up for the big lap.
The tyres I'm currently running are 245/70/R17 and about ready to be replaced. (I was thinking of Cooper AT3's).
I have been told the above tyre size might be difficult to source in the outback if I should need to replace one. i.e I'd be more likely to source a 265/65/R17 tyre.
I have an opportunity to purchase some second hand Prado 120 17/7.5 rims which will accomodate the 265/65/R17 tyre.
Is this a good idea to replace my rims?
I believe the offset from a 120GXL is more positive (+30) than the 150GXL (+25) according to the first post in this thread as follows. Is 5mm something to be concerned about?

Any thoughts on this welcome.
