    Are these the only wheels that we got with the FJ? The ARB cattledog shows a six spoker not dissimilar to the phoenix wheel.

        I think there is only one version of the FJ, these are the only car I have seen these rims on in Australia. The 4 Runner uses these rims on the KDSS trail edition as well.

        The extra +10 offset really makes a difference I must say, but it may also be that I can now get full wheel lock.

        i went with the stock wheel size for the prado GXL/VX as I live in SA and we have only a 15mm allowance in size. However I'm considering getting offroad rubber now something like 285/70/17s from what I know the offset will help reduce rubbing?

          This makes sense to me as the 4runner which also has the same FJ rims are also 1605. What I don't understand is why the GXL/VX/K are all reduced by an inch..
          Not quite an inch, but 20mm:
          The GX rims are a +15 offset and as a result the track is 1605mm, same as the FJ with a +15 offset.
          The GXL/VX/Kakadu all have a +25 offset and therefore the track is 20mm narrower at 1585mm.

            I think the offset difference between GX and the rest stems from the 1" narrower rims therefore maintaining wheel face in same position.

              Yeah the GX has 245 on 6.5 inch rims, not sure what offset tho.

              Edit - oh wait they are +15 =D

              anyway, how does this help me get 285/70/17s on my VX?

                      That's terrible Bob! I hope the insurance company processes your claim quickly and gets you going again in a timely manner.

                        I'm glad to hear your family is safe Bob! I think I read about you in the paper, they mentioned the Harley and another car that was being restored or something. Your profile says SA, didn't realise you were in Tassie.

                          Yeah we moved down in sept, hadn't updated the profile, going back to South Australia when we can get on the boat nothing left here for us right now.
                          Keep my car registered in SA so I could keep my plates taz don't have 7 letter ones yet.

                            Well the main thing is you guys are safe. Houses can be replaced, people can't. My BIL restores Harley's, think he's on his 3rd one now, seems to be an obsession.
