My 2013 GU came out with 17" alloys.

I'm wondering if 16" rims would fit on & over brake calipers etc front and rear??

And, what other brands of vehicle fit on the Patrol stud pattern? Colorado, Ranger, DMax, Toyota etc etc??

Thanks for any help.

Yes the 16" rim will fit no problem. I have 16s on my GUIV. Some of the other brands will likely fit but because they are IFS you will find that the Offset is hideous for a Patrol

For example the Ford Ranger has a stud pattern of 6 x 139.7 (Patrol match) but has an offset of +55. The Centre bore is only 93.1mm which is way to small for a Patrol.

Great, thanks Daz.

I wonder if anyone knows if you can get a 16x6 rim for the GU?

I carry a 2nd spare on the roof and have access to 4, 235/85x16 tyres. I reckon a 16x6 rim with one of those tyres will be a lot lighter to put on the roof that a 17x8 with a 32 on it.

Wacky unknown theory :-)
Do our NEWISH Y62 Weapons have one of them pizza cutters smartly stored in the boot area possibly?

the good news is the are the same stud pattern.... The bad news is the centre bore on the Y62 is tiny and the offset is a big positive offset too.

The PCD is 139.7 in both cases. The Y61 has a bigger centre bore (110mm vs 78mm).

f they do run a Space Saver rim and you could bore out the centre bore you might be in luck. Avo can you advise if your Y62 has a Space Saver spare please

Thanks Daz. It'd be interesting to know anyway if they had cheese cutters, just out of curiosity.
