Hilux Tow Bars and Wheels

[Son of Toyoda]

hey hey,

What year model tow bars are compatible with each other.

Will a 97 model fit a 2000 model?

I have a 2000 model and is looking for a 2nd hand tow bar. I see quite a few advertised for upto 97 models, but not many specifically for 2000 models. Are they the same deal.

Also can someone explain to me wheel/rim sizing. Are the Ford Territory 17x7.5 (PCD is 5x114.3 and Offset is +35) legal to fit to a 2000 hilux. Can someone explain the numbers to me in the brackets.

cheers

The number of bolts used to install a wheel varies from 4 to 6 depending on the vehicle model. P.C.D. stands for pitch circle diameter, and indicates the diameter of the circle in mm connecting the center of each hub bolt.



The offset indicates the distance from the centre of the rim to the attaching disk part (unit:m/m). As seen in the attached drawing, the offset is indicated by "+" when the fitting surface extends beyond the central line of the rim and "-" when it is falls within. Caution is required to prevent the tyre from coming into contact with the guard of the vehicle or the brake caliper if the offsets are very different.

I believe the Territory wheels fit and the offset is fine, however the weight rating on them isn't high enough to be legal (presuming of course your is the 5 stud 2WD, 4WD obviously won't fit as its 6 stud).
