hey guys looking at these rims, i got two questions for ya
http://www.lowrangeoffroad.com/suzuki/s ... 5r2-5.html

1.will the 2.5 inch backspace be to wide for my gards if i have a 1.5 inch rubber flare
i havn't had time to measure my track yet

2. Is there any store's in australia that can supply them or in WA

thanks in advance
scott

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.

[sbbunno]

yea lookin into them for stability after today
ok so they will work fine thanks
first time with lockers

[monley]

Suzi store in perth carry them i think.

i

[smiffkid]

yea we can get them into, not sure on prices tho. also that is basically a procomp like alien said.

[smiffkid]

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

[sbbunno]

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

Settle... we are not allowed to pick on spelling anymore... and Royce may get an itchy trigger finger on the Ban button....

[sbbunno]

yea sorry about that
iv chilled a bit

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..

[alien]

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

[sbbunno]

haha yea im gonna stay 15x7 with the 2.5 backspacing.
im gonna get tj flares sometime to cover them fully, i know the one wheel in the air thing will proply alsways happen but i go pretty far sideways alot

this is a vid dad put togother of last weekend, unfortunatly the camera neve dose justus
at 2 minut's and 6.40 minuts is what im talking about.

[alien]

dont do the TJ flares!!! just get 50mm rubber flaring and screw it on... itll look way better than tj flares!

[sbbunno]

but i like the look of tj flares
is there an actual reason or.....

My 17x8 rims offer enough offset for me not to lift a wheel in the air

[Benz]

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

[sbbunno]

yea she was pretty funny maybe next time i might let her out

yea i mean its not hard i gave them the mesuarments and ask if they can get them in, so they tell me i cant do it and i cant bla bla bla
wich is bull ........

has any one got the number for suzuki store i cant seem to get it?
thanks

[alien]

www.suzistore.com.au - 9250 4650... not sure if they can get them though, if you go to the procomp website they list their suppliers in WA.

[sbbunno]

ok thanks ill make a couple more call's

[atari4x4]

TJ rears look good. TJ fronts are uglier than susan boyle

They look almost the same except for the fatter bit at the front for the indicators!

[atari4x4]

thats the bit that looks like susan boyle....

[alien]

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?

[atari4x4]

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

OMG You must have 1000mm offset.

Your a totally different story.


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

[sbbunno]

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
