I'm on the lookout for a set of sunnies to replace my standard vit rims.

Just got a question on the sizings though. My current tyre is a 30x9.5x15.
Would a 15x8 or 15x7 fit them better? I'm also looking at going to a 31x10.5x15 silverstone sometime down the track.

Cheers,
Bucket

PS: anyone looking for 15x10 sunnies, jump on these: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/15-x-10-inch-Sun ... 2eac1b0570
Was going to bid before realising that the rim is wider then my tyre.

would a 10.5 and 12.5 fit on a 15x7 or would that be stretching it a bit.

That depends a lot on the tyre in question..
The 35x12.5's I've ordered have a recommended rim size of 7"-9".

I just went and had a look around and yeah, it does matter on the tyre.
31x12.5x15 boggers have a recomended rim size of 15x10

I just need to find a cheap set of sunnies with a decent offset to put on my buckshots while I save up for a decent, secondhand set of muddies like silverstones.

Don't forget mate, yours are a bit on the er, skinny side of 12.5.
