theyre procomp series 52 rebadged... i currently have a custom made rim to the same specs (15x7 -38mm) and i have 2" rubber flaring from clark rubber - the sidewalls stick oustide the rubber flares but the tread is covered - so it is legal. so yes - too wide for 1.5" flares, and yes: clark rubber. the extra width thus far is awesome too! way more stable on and off the road. |

| Post subject: | Re: NEW RIMS TOO MUCH? |
my opinion would be do get a dynamic rim. we find procomps hard to ballance just about every time we get them and not as strong eithr, your dicision |

hey guys getting real ticked talking to these tyre dealers, all telling me its illegal and i can't put wider rims on, and not helping me at all with finding a good deal 
so hears the deal me and my mate are GOING to get wider rims because we WONT to and somewhat NEED to, what i would like to know is where and who do i talk to to get what i wont at the same price in the link at the top. the link i posted above are the ones i wont but unfortunatley too much postage, and in terms of strentgh i do alot more slow crawling climps than thrashing my beast so these should do me fine so i am looking for the same ones but in australia. And smiffkid you have pm thanks guys any help would be REALLY aprecciated

Lowrange rims are nice, but postage is the killer. Get normal sunraisers. i use 15x8 -28 King rims. Wide enough for me on 33's. Cant order them ready to go for an f truck? Then pull up with a trailer? NO NO NO NO amount of offset fixes the swb sierra wheel in the air technique.. |

its how far in the air you want to go that more offset will affect =P haha |

haha the look of the face of your passenger was good. and if know what you mean about they tyre place... get the same crap all the time... I found it hard to find 215/75 tyres.... "no such size/never fit that size to a car" a few places told me or "never ever seen one" and they wouldn't even bother looking into it... just keep looking around you will soon find someone who will help you out

mmm i dunno - i just dont like the square-ness of them... theres no need for flares that big either, unless you're running hilux diffs and offset rims? |

DBOR flares look good as they're similar profile shape to the WT flares. |

Yeah I'll be going 33's next with more offset so it should look in proportion |

Wheels in the air has no connection to wheel offset! Well, alittle, but not much. |

called suzuki store they only have the ones i already have. looks like my best bet is tyrepower for $125 a rim for the same ones on lowrange for $60 a rim 
tj flares = awsome |
