my car is on blocks at the moment waiting for my new wheels.. just wondering if any 5 stud wheel will fit without any problems? car is not to be driven but towed.

same pattern as ford falcons so you can get anything that fits them 5x114.3!! just make sure you have the right offset. stock is +50 depending on how wide you go can have down to +40 or so

Still have the problem of the wheel hub mount being too big. You usually need to get a insert made up to suit toyotas. Bad idea if you go drag racing with non toyota rims without the insert, can shear your wheel studs.

For towing, don't worry about offset or anything. Go on ebay or to a wreckers and get the cheapest wheels that will fit toyota 5 stud, nissan 5 stud or ford 5 stud and it will get you where you need to go.
Be aware that towing can destroy your auto. (unless it's on a trailer)

They look allright. Aren't they just polished stockers?
Everything mentioned above is correct. The inserts used to match your hub spigot to the wheel centre bore hole is called a SPIGOT RING. They make sure the studs are only clamping the wheel to the hub, not taking the load of the car!!
You can go pretty big on a soarer, I've gone 18x9 and 18x10, Rob Hayden has 11" wide rears on his UZZ (think they were 17"), and Im sure theres others with serious PHATS.
