What other factory rims will fit my NL?

Have done a bit of a search and have come to the conclusion that patrol rims may fit ok but not sure what year model, and maybe navara/4 runner rims?

looking for a second set of 16 or 17 inch rims with standard tyre's when im not using it offroad. Have thought about using nm/np/ns rims but have heard the gen 3 offset is too different to the gen 2 and the centre hole in the rim is too small?

Hope someone can point me in the right direction before i ring some wreckers and look for rims.

I'd go for GQ or GU Patrol rims - I think Navarra offset is too far out, and I believe 4Runner is further again, in the opposite direction.

I have "Patrol fitment" 16x8" Mullins steelies, and passed engineering with stock GLS flares and mudflaps.

Thanks for that, not sure if i will have more luck finding patrol rims than paj ones as i bet they are pretty popular, but i guess there would be a few around too.

Yep, go for the patrol rims, they are 16x8's so you can fit 33's if you want too.

I got a set of series 1 GU rims - I mounted one up to see how much the offset differed from the standard GLS alloys - and I could barely notice the difference.
