what wheels have GU offset

I'm getting a trailer soon and it will have the same track as the GU wagon.
I'm after some rims and tyres, probably 31x10.5x15 AT but I don't know what other vehicles have similar offset. I ideally want GU rims but the price for tyres/rims in Adelaide is a bit rich. Plenty of wheel/tyres in Qld, Vic and NSW but freight would be minging. I don't need brand new, just good condition.
Would Hilux/Navara/Triton rims fit? Any other ideas?
Cheers
Nick

GU rims are 10 pos offset.
80 series are 0 offset.
Narvara/Triton and most IFS are more positive than Patrol.
Early Hilux and early cruiser are more negative.
(Rim widths all being equal that is)
Anything other than IFS will most likely be close enough in reality.

This doesn't match my experience.
GU zero offset
LandCruiser -23 offset
Gen 2 Pajero 15x7 & 16x7 are +10 (also found on some Tritons and Challengers)
Gen 3/4 Pajero and ML Triton are approx +45 offset.
I run 16x8" Mullins steel rims with zero offset which are sold as Patrol fitment.

Been a while since I played with offsets but I was pretty sure.
80 Series is definately 0 and most if not all aftermarket rims are based on that (at least those not designed for IFS).
I was pretty sure GQ & GU were 10 pos but I don't have my Patrol anymore to check the alloys. I know the ROH Impacts I had at one stage sat out further on my Patrol. I think they all sell 0 offset for Patrol fitment because it's still legal and there is no correct offset aftermarket for Patrol. They IFS trucks might be 10 pos (ignoring really new stuff) but I thought they were more but most are based on a 7" rim which changes how they would sit on a Patrol and also how an 8" would sit on IFS.
The 23 neg is the old cruiser and Hilux I think and are generally for leaf sprung applications.
Would have to check with my tyre shop mate now though as you have given me a little doubt but didn't think my memory was that old.
