As far as I know all Toyota 6 stud wheels share the same stud pattern as the Paj. I believe Cruisers have an offset of -23 vs Paj +10, so you'd get more than 2 inches track increase - but this will knock about steering and balljoints.

Others should be able to give you specific experiences, so hand around. :D

Yep factory 15x7" & 16x7" Paj Gen 2 alloys are +10mm offset.
The factory 15x6" & 16x6" Paj Gen 1 & 2 steelies are +22mm offset.
The factory 16x7" Gen 3 alloys are +46mm offset.
For aftermarket in the traditional white Sunraysia style steel rim there are two main brands :-
Speedy
Desert Rat
15x8" = +7mm offset
16x7" = +18mm offset
Not available in 16x8"

ROH
Trak 2
15x8" = -22mm offset & -10mm offset
16x8" = -13mm offset
Trak Australia
15x8" = -22mm offset

There are more choices in offset for the 15x7" size.
I have had the Speedy 15x8" rims with the +7mm offset and I found they sat inboard way too far and did rub on front steering parts that was with a 32x11.5" muddy and a 2.5" suspension lift.
I later changed to 33x12.5" muddy's on the ROH Trac 2 rims with the -22mm offset and had no rubbing at all.
The ROH offset is better suited for a larger 32"+ and wider 11.5"+ tyre to stop it rubbing on steering components. The wider track also helps with stability offroad.

Hmmm. When I bought mine I was told they're zero offset. :?

I might just have to measure them...
