If I get some F100 rims, 7's or 8's with my Couragia 31's (just over 30)
Approximately how far will tyres protrude from body work?
i have wheel flare extensions already.
It was running 32 x 16 with a -13 offset with previous owner.

Pix would be nice if anyone has this set up
cheers

This is a wide body a guy at work has, he won't sell the rim's to me, prick.
-28 15x7's with 30x9.5's

[christover1]

Knock him on the head, give him no option

Thanks, that gives me a better idea than all my mathmatics can

[steak_knife]

Being the v6 he had to grind the caliper a fair bit to get em to fit, & thay only JUST fit, yours should be fine as far as brake's go, just the sticky outy bit.

[matty_wall]

heres mine

there 15x7 -12 with 30x9.5

they probably sit about 2" out of the guards.

[christover1]

LWB has bigger brakes apparently, so hope that don't affect anything.
May be why it had 16's on it before.
I'd better look into that, cheers

that would be perfect, I have 50mm wheel flares
thanks

no worries

your brakes shouldn't be a problem with 15s either. standard 1.6l LWB came with 15's.

Stekky they are -13 not 28, somebody cant work a tape and maths

I have same, with 235's they use every bit of my 50mm clark rubber flares

Brakes will be fine, its the later widebody ones and GV's with the different rotor offset thats trouble

So he lied to me!!!

Yer knew about the brake's, his had to be shaved a fair bit to fit 15's on.

A vit will be fine tho..

[christover1]

thanks all.
Knowing what I need is half way there ..
Now to make it happen some how

[royce]

you'll also have clearance dramas on the rear of the wheel arch that a hammer sorts out, larger tyres will still hit even with a bodylift so some cutting needs to be done, moving the wheels forward a bit helps a lot as well

Guards were done by previous owner to suit 32's on 16 x7's, so I'm hoping it will be right already for 31's on 15 x7 or 8.
That will depend on offset and rim width, too, I guess.
Time will tell.

with previous owners 32's x16 x 7" on it

[lockdup]

32's? they look like 30's to me. Look good though

Its true they do look small, but it must be a 16" rim thing, cos they tall n skinny, they dont look big.

Yeah my next set of tyres will be 32x9.5 hopefully. did you drive it with those tyres on? How much scrubbing and where?

Never drove it with 32's on, but no obvious signs of rubbing any where.
It has got bump stop spacers as well as guard massaging

so there origanal f100 rims of a ford

It has to be from a 4wd f100, or the free wheeling hub won't fit thru.
But stud pattern is same.

Ford F100 , yes

[theroadrunner]

do they bolt straight on or do i need to modify the holes

Same same, there is a 6 stud that won't fit.

They would have to be 235/85/16s tyres wouldn't they, as thats the only real common tall/narrow size for a 16" rim? They come out to about 31.6" overall.

They actually look pretty damn good on that, gives that extra bit of clearance and they actually look less cop bait then the usual smaller diameter but wider tyres. Pretty good price wise as well for a 16" tyre.

Narrower tyre probably helped a shitload with the clearance also. Interesting...

[christover1]

Yes I think that is the size, he is fitting his 32's to a LWB Sierra, I think.
I like 31's due to the fact that they are aplenty anywhere in Aus, and cheaper in the outback, than rarer sizes.
Plus I have some already, and the rims be cheaper, too.

yep, all those reasons are why im looking at getting a set

Only problem is i need to find some GV steel rims and i have no idea how they will sit in terms of offset. I hope they sit inward a little so they don't hit my guards.

From what i can find there one of the few tyre sizes that measure close to 32x9.5 and arent a very aggressive tread like simex extreme trekker (i think)

[christover1]

I'm pretty sure the 16"rims were Kings with a -13 offset

Not saying for sure your wrong Royce , as I have Kings with a -13 offset on my Vitara LWB and from what I've seen the F100 rims have a greater offset again. Mine only just sit proud of the guards . Mine are also 15inch rims and the calipers needed a little grinding whereas the F100 rims didn't need the grinding.
Not sure if this is relavant but I can get photo's and check measurements if needed.
