To save me the time to measure and cross reference does anybody know off hand what existing rim application will fit Patrols

Any Toyota 4x4 rim with a 6 stud pattern (4 Runner, Land Cruiser or Tacoma/Truck) will work on a Patrol. Darren.

GMC six lug wheel pattern will also work. I have found that with stock wheel well clearence will allow the use of tires 30 x 9.50 -15 with only a slight flare of the rear quarter panels.

Any Datsun/Nissan 6 bolt rim should work. In particular the [usually] white painted 'high boy' basic style rims on the early 1980-83 Datsun 720 4WDpickups look close to OE for thier Patrol predecessors. I've also found Mikey's statment correct. Chevy/GMCrims will also fit, only the center hole may be a tad smaller than the front hub clearence, depending on your hub type.

When I first went looking for new rims I went with older Pathfinder rims, they would have been great except the hole in the front was indeed too small for the dealer installed option of the Warn hubs on my '69 KL60, so I am on a warped set of original rims cannibalized off my '65 project Patrol, the may look wobbly if oyu are driving behind me but the radials I put on them soak that up so I don't feel it, and they sure look nice painted to match

Quite true Phol Patrol, I've had 2 sets of rims now and had to have the first set cut to fit the front warn lock-in lock-out hubs, second set did'nt need to be cut, don't know the actual Dia. never thought to measure as the second set came with current tires that I am running on.

I have used 2 different sets of white-spoke rims as well as a set of aftermarket cheap chrome rims. The problem lies in the backspacing and broken rear axles. I put a set on from a first generation Dodge Raider/ Mitsubishi Montero 2 door and they have really close to the same backspacing. It does not allow for much wider tires than stock, but it certainly minimizes the chances of breaking a rear axle. They are a tight fit with the hubs I have so they may not fit with certain hubs. All of the other wheels mentioned will also fit... jeepcj_6@yahoo.com

I had Mitsubishi rims on mine for a while, they were perfect! And I thought they looked good too. But alas I had to put them back on the Mitsubishi so I could drive that too

'87 to '90 or '91 are the years that work.

I've got 86-89 Toyota Forerunner wheels on mine. Their chome, look good and reasonally priced and they fit.
