Prado Rim Size & Offset Database

Looking around at some 17" options for my 150 Kakadu and came across the Koya brand form another thread. I emailed them an enquiry and they say their XJ5 in 17x8 with +20 offset will fit. I tried to use the tool in the 1st post using a 265/70/17 tyre as the tyre to fit to the Koya rim and it seems that it will stick out 5mm further and fill out the wheelwell by an extra 15mm. It also indicate there will be a 100% clearance of the suspension but didn't factor in any lift. Have I used it correctly and does it mean these rims would be OK?

Hey guys looking at doing 20inch rims for my 150. 275/50 or 285/50 tires are what i gather to be closest to stock diameter, just wanted to check what offset i should be getting so it won't rub during full turns.

Not planning to lift anytime soon

+20 should be okay ?

Hi guys,
I am feeling a little lost and confused...
I have read through so many threads over last few months in regards to tyres that will and can fit okay on a KDJ150 series prado Kakadu model with 18" wheels.
As we all know they have 265/60/18 standard, with little tread left on my original tyres I am looking at possible upgrades.
Have come down to the following -
Cooper AT3 265/60/18 (straight swap in regards to size)
BFG ATR KO 265/65/18 (approx 25mm or so larger in diameter)
other brands that offer 265/70/18
I just really want to know if the 265/65/18 or 165/70/18 tyres will fit and be okay to use on a standard non modified kakadu prado, ie no lift etc
If I go larger diameter will it rub on full lock? and or other advantages/disadvantages?
Please dont comment and say go through the existing threads, I have done this already and cant find a clear answer about using 265/70/18, only can find comments in 265/65/18 and also comments about altering the bracket for the spare tyre to fit etc

Thanks in advance,

Nate

265/65R18 is equivalent to 265/70R17 in terms of width and overall diameter. The 265/70R17 fits on a standard Prado, so a 265/65R18 will be fine also.

265/70R18 is another inch bigger again so is unlikely to fit unless you go for lesser offset rims.

Thanks amts, I had looked at a tyre comparison website and seen that going up to 65 profile added some 25mm to overall diameter and then 70 profile went up another inch or so, was more so thinking about whether or not the tyres would scrub out on full lock or rub in general if i went to a 70 profile with only std suspension.

I think I will try and get 265/65/18, just think that inch extra of overall diameter will help when lowering the pressure on sand driving, i feel 60 is too low a profile for a 4WD although in saying that i am use to higher profiles on my old 4WD's and also have not had any issues with the std 60 profile TOYO tyres i currently have on my kakadu.

What are you running?
I think I recognise your username from the FJCC forum when i was on there when i had my old car, MY13 FJ Cruiser

A few have gone with 265/65R18. http://www.pradopoint.com/showthread...18-rims-anyone
It is the safer bet without a change in offset. 70 profile may be getting close to rubbing at full lock. The suspension height doesn't really come into it.

I have a 120 so just the standard size 265/65R17. Yes I'm the same person at FJCC

And if you're feeling "nostalgic" you could always fit FJ rims on.

Still got your FJ?
At the prices I have seen people sell the FJ wheels for I dont think it would be worth my while buying a set of those.

A mate can get me Silverstone AT-117 Special tyres in 265/65/18 for only $165 each fitted and balanced or the Nankang AT-5 in 265/60/18 for same price, a lot cheaper option then the known brands ie Cooper/Mickey Thompson etc and im sure would get maybe half the mileage but for half the price and more...

Wonder if anyone one here has ran these tyres??

Nankang At-5 - http://nankangtyres.com.au/tyre/at-5/

The Silverstone tyres are based on the BFG All-Terrain T/O KO pattern\
Nankang tread pattern I dont think looks bad at all

Maybe if no one on here has ran them, for $660 fitted and balanced I should give them a go??
And report on how they go
I drive on tarmac most the time tbh, with sand driving to go camping, get to surf and fishing spots and a little rocky terrain at times as well when searching for good surf spots, so not a hardcore 4WD'er

Can anyone tell me if I go from a 265 65 r17 to a 265 70 r17 will that effect fuel consumption much, I know it won't do much to speedo.

[mjrandom Out of control poster! Find all posts View Profile Close mjrandom]

Probably 0.5 - 1.5L/100 km depending on what else has been changed and what particular tyre you go for. Pre 2006 this size will likely mean your speedometer will underread by 4kph. So 100kph on the instruments is really 104kph on the road.

Hey Guys,

I'm currently in the process of looking for a second set of rims & tyres for my 2014 150 Altitude (No rear wheel carrier) and I'm not sure if I'm doing the right thing.

The rubber I'm going with are Coopers STT Pro's - 265/70/17 while the rims I'm looking at are King Wheels D-Lockers (Steel)

On the King wheel website they show the below options
Dia Width Stud PCD Offset
17" 8.00" 6 139.7 0
17" 8.00" 6 139.7 30
17" 8.00" 6 114.3 18

Is it fair to say I need to select
17" 8.00" 6 139.7 30

Is there anything I should be worrying about other then speed variations? I have a 2" lift.

Thanks

+30 offset is illegal on the 150 which has an offset of +25. 0 offset is your only option.

[evltoy Member Find all posts View Profile Close evltoy]

Thanks amts for clearing this up.

All this offset thing is a little confusing for me.

I just want mud tires that will fit, have no issues and are legal.

Hope I've come to the right thread for advice?

I want to match my 265/65/17 wheels on the caravan, which currently has 16" rims. I tried the Prado spare on the van and fully tightened up, it just brushes the van chassis but turns quite freely. I don't have much stud thread left to put a spacer on, which, I understand is illegal on the vans independent suspension anyway. Looking back up this thread, I see there are various rim widths which are narrower and maybe with a different offset, would do the trick. This being the case, could I then use one of these narrower rims on the car as an emergency spare? The van is single axle (only a stub axle on Indi suspension) so I was planning on having a set of four for the van, which would also serve as a spare spare for the car? Heaps of room under the wheel arch, btw.

Go for a smaller positive offset. If you have a 120 the standard offset is P30 so you could go to a P15 or P10 to give clearance and it would be OK on the Prado in an emergency. Similar story for the 150 but it starts at P25.

I have a Tvan and the suspension is different for P0 and P30. Luckily mine is suitable to run Prado wheels on.
