Fitting 120 alloys to 150 with spacers?

[anthonyp0808 Lurker Find all posts View Profile Close anthonyp0808]

I have seen the great post on "Prado Rim Size & Offset Database" which states "It is illegal to reduce the track of a vehicle. Therefore, you can't fit a 120 GXL alloy onto a 150."


The sizes and offsets are;
120 - GXL+ 17x7.5 ET30
150 - GXL 17x7.5" ET25

I have a 120 Grande and a Ulti camper trailer with matched alloys. If I was to get a 150 GXL, my question is this:
1. If in stranded remotely, is it physically possible to use the 120 alloys on the 150 as is?
2. Is it possible to get a spacer for the 120 alloy to make it legal on the 150?

I believe one can use the 150 alloy on the 120 without issue. Is this correct?

Yes, it is possible. It is only a small difference. As long as the overall diameter is the same, it would not make much difference. Probably best to use the 150 spare first and if the 120 wheel had to be used, it would be better installed in the rear.

2. Is it possible to get a spacer for the 120 alloy to make it legal on the 150?

Spacers are illegal.

Yes, correct.

I have a 150 and purchased a second hand trailer with 120 wheels.

While it may be technically illegal to use the 120 wheel on the 150, I can't see that it is unsafe. If I am stuck in a remote area and that is the only option, I will be using it.
