Im after some new wheels and tyres for my 150 gx, was wondering is it ok to increase the rim size to an 18 as the vx+ models has 18's or will my speedo be out, i was going to put 18x9.0 with a set of 265/65/18 on, or will i have too many dramas?
I needed a second set of wheels to run KM2 muddies on. Bought 17" Hilux mags from a tyre dealer for $1350 for 8. These are the same dimension as the 120 series mags. Also bought 2 for the camper and 1 for the daughters Hilux as Toyota fit steel rims on the spare. Cheaper than buying aftermarket wheels and proven strength.

They are 265/70/17 I have noticed just lately that they rub only when the wheel is on full lock. They are the largest legal size which makes sense coz they fill the guard up. Sorry it has taken so long to get back I work in the outback where internet is rough at best. Hope the info helps

Hi Brad
The quick answer is no. I'm not sure why but my computer just won't upload photo's to threads. I will upload some more photos to my profile for you. they are very sexy wheels and look great on the dark colours.
I have the American racing slots they are 17 x 8 with no offset . I have had these 3 weeks now and have had no rubbing issues . They are a black alloy with a chrome ring (like a beadlocker ) look great on the car .I also have a 2 inch lift, I have done about 2 thousand k's on them up to Kalbarri and lots of beach work with no issues.

Ooh! I am looking at these. Any chance you have some pictures sporting these wheels?
Hi Kev
Mine came off a cooper rep's car with 5 k's on them so it was an amazing deal. The wheels are available at tyrepower in rockingham for about $450 a rim and the AT'3s are about $380.

I can't say I've seen them on a vehicle, but going off mine when at full tuck, if the tyre were 15mm further away from the centre they would touch the plastic flare thingy
