just an update on my new HILUX - finally got it!

Yeah, just got back from Bob Jane t-marts and showed the rep there my wheel and tyre combo and asked him what I can do. I said I needed a rim with an offset that'll move the rim inside the guards by 20mm.
He checked his computer and told me the hilux 4x4's have a factory offset of +45 (i thought it was +30, anyway)
He recommend me putting on a patrol rim with a +10 offset to pull it in .
If I manage to get it inwards by 20mm, then that would also move it that little bit that is required off the chassis/bodymount at the rear of the front guard.
Ive heard of people running 285's from ATS saying they run a -12 offset and still need trimming.
Its confusing the hell out of me but I might just give the patrol rims a shot next week and get a set of black sunnies - just to see if it works.
Hopefully others can learn from my pitiful experiences.
