Re: Prado Rim Size & Offset Database
I have been advised that the offset on my GXL 150 is ET 10. ET 25 for 120 Prado is confirmed from the same source.

Prado Rim Size & Offset Database
The following is a listing of the wheel sizes that comes standad for the Prado; other vehicle makes with the same stud pattern; and wheels from 3rd party manufacturers. It was compiled to assist other Prado owners in wheel selection.
The following list only includes 6 stud on 139.7mm PCD wheels. Bear in mind that some vehicle makes may have a smaller or larger centre bore and therefore will not fit on the Prado.
To use this list successfully, you need to do the following:
1. Look up the wheel size and offset for your current vehicle. (note: If you have a GX or Standard Prado, you can change to wider wheels. In this case, use the next model up as a point of reference.)
2. Look down the list and find the wheel(s) with the same offset or lower.
3. The wheel diameter and width is then up to you. There are various things to consider when choosing diameter and width, so I won't go further into this here.
4. Make sure you double check with the tyre shop or search through Pradopoint for other members who have successfully made a swap.
The list is currently incomplete. Please advise if you have something to add (including any corrections) and I will maintain this first post.
And if you are contemplating fitting wider tyres, refer to this article

Some fitment notes and guide:- A 16" rim can't fit onto a 120 due to interference with the front brake calipers. However, it can fit on the rear of the 120.
- It is illegal to reduce the track of a vehicle. Therefore, you can't fit a 120 GXL alloy onto a 150.
- On the 150, you can change the VX/Kakadu 18" rim to the GXL 17" rim. Speedy Avalanche 17x7.5 also fit. viewtopic.php?f=55&t=12335&start=0&st=0&sk=t&sd=a
The 1st thing to look at is the offset as this will determine your wheel track. Do not go for more positive offset as that will reduce your wheel track. Go for lesser offset.
2nd thing is to look at how much further out the outside face of the rim is compared to factory spec. To do this, you need the following equation:
Protrusion outside face of rim = 25.4 x (Wnew - Wfactory)/2 + (OSfactory - OSnew)
Where:
W = rim width in inches
OS = offset in mm
Result of the equation is in mm
The 3rd thing is to check clearance to the UCA. To do this, you need the following equation:
Reduction of clearance to UCA = -[25.4 x (Wnew - Wfactory)/2 - (OSfactory - OSnew)]
If result is +ve, there is an increase in clearance
I have an Excel spreadsheet I can email you. Send me an email to amtsprado at gmail dot com.
Or use this excellent calculator.

Some rims from the US only lists backspacing instead of offset. This is what backspace is in relation to rim width and offset. Note that rim width is measured inside the bead. Backspace is measured from outside the bead.
