WTB: 120 GXL Wheels

[znelbok Member Find all posts View Profile Close znelbok]

Hi All

Looking for a set of standard 17" wheels to match the existing 2003 GXL Prado wheels (17").

These are for the camper trailer (Jayco) so that there is a common spare across both.

Only need three, but four is OK as it will give me an extra spare.

Tyre condition not important.

Have you test fitted one of your Prado rims onto the Jayco? Sometimes the offset of the Prado rim puts the wheel and tyre a lot closer to the frame/suspension.

No I have not checked yet. I did not expect there to be an issue but I will try it out this weekend and see how it goes.

I also discovered that the Speedy Grande are a suitable alternative to the OEM wheels - I doubt anyone would tell the difference.

I have an off road CT. I put the Prado rims on and they scrape the frame under extreme articulation. Its only a light rub but enough to take the paint off. I didn't want to spending money on something that may not fit properly.

Thanks for the feedback guys

I did check diameter and found that the Prado wheel was only slightly larger (<25mm) in diameter. I am not sure how to check the articulation as its pretty stiff.

I can raise the CT if I want to as well, the axle is a drop axle so there is 40mm to be gained there and then the axle is on top of the springs, moving that below the springs gains more again.
