Ex Telstra Hilux

I've just picked up a second Hilux, a 2013 4x4 ex telstra, with the XL canopy, ladder racks and whatnot. It's for work in rural areas. Needed the single cab and canopy.

It's an SR KUN26R, don't think it's got ABS. Haven't looked much lol.

My N70 SR has 17" rims. I remember back in the day I got some steel wheels with a slightly wider offset and 265 tires, and been running this way for 12 years with this car.

This one's got 16" rims and 205 tires?? Would that be the stock setup? I'll need wider tires than this, and there's a few 17" standard rims for sale locally.

What would be a good setup for this ute? Should I just fit something bigger to the stock rim, or buy some second hand rims off a different model? I've done some searching and don't see much mention of 16"rims. I'd just like to run BFG AT's like I always have on my other Hilux's.

Check the tyre placement sticker on the door pillar

If you can get some SR5 alloy rims I'd go with that.

So I've looked into it a bit more thoroughly.

According to the door sticker, the rims are 16x6 and the tires are 205's. Being Telstra it'll almost certainly be stock.

I'm reading that the offset is +30, but I'm not dead sure on that.

On my other Hilux I used Dynamic steel rims from new, and they're still on there now, so I'm thinking of going that way.

I'm reading that on my standard unlifted Hilux, I can go with a 16x7 rim, +20 offset and a 235 tire, legally and without rubbing.

How does that sound?

I've done some searching, but it's all over the place. I don't want legal issues or problems with bearings/brakes/rubbing, as it's just a work truck, but I do have work coming up that involves driving on the beach.
