Will a 15x7 Nissan Safari rim fit a ln106 Hilux?

I know the stud pattern is the same, is the offset the same or is it close enough that a factory Nissan Safari rim will fit on a LN106 Hilux?

I recently purchased a 1989 LN106 hilux, it does not have factory steel wheels and as Im still 'broken' after a motorbike accident I cannot take them off to see what markings they have on them or and try the spare on etc.

The spare is a factory rim with what looks like an unused factory tyre that is way smaller than the 31x10.5x15 tyres I am putting on the Hilux.

The Hilux came with worn 32x11.5x15 tyres that I am replacing next week.

I have a spare (3/4 worn) 31x10.5x15 on a Safari 15x7 rim that I was using on my Pajero.

My question can I use the Nissan Spare for the Hilux or do I need to have the 31x10.5x15 tyre put on the Toyota rim.

If it needs to be done I will get the spare tyre swapped over when Im getting the new tyres put on.

just double check the centre hole that locates on hub and make sure no tierods will hit.

Will get the tyre shop to check that for me, the motorbike accident broke my left collar bone and right hand, so I can't change the tyres.

I'm pretty sure the safari has a smaller center hole, so it won't go. Stud pattern and offset will be ok. I can check at work tomorrow if you like....

Hadn't even thought about the centres so have measured the hilux spare and safari rim, both have 110mm diameter centres so that shouldn't be a problem.

I can work a tape measure just can't lift a tyre .

Toyota have the smaller centre bore, 108mm I think, Nissan is 110mm.

Flatmates factory saf 15x7 rim hits the tie rod ends on my 85 hilux. The inside wheel weights that is.
