Post subject:  16x8's on a Jimny?
Looking to get a jimny and wanting to run 16's and KM2's. Now 16 x 7's with -13 sit all but flush with a jimny guard. The rim im after only comes in 8" wide, so I'm assuming if I get it with 0mm offset it it should sit some what flush with the guard?

Or am I off with the fairies?

SPECS
16"x8"
0mm offset
4.52" Back Spacing
5-139 Bolt Pattern

What's the reason for wanting 16
Unless you know were to get km2 on a set of 16 rims?

why they'll hit the drag link?... being bigger shouldn't actually clear those components easier? :crazy: ... I mean I should in that case hitting the drag link with my tyre right now :? ?

also most of the Jap jimnys run 16x5.5 rims.... I now they are NT jimnys... but dnt really know how much difference that would be on the drag link and stuff



also if you put a bigger offset... it should clear the drag easier no??
