After looking around for some 15x8 steel wheels, i have found the largest offset i can find to be the -23.
they tell me the KINGS and SUNRAISER to only go to this size.
unless there is something many tyre places arnt telling me.

is anyone running larger offsets with the 5 stud pattern or is running spacers the thing?

would like the 33's to clear the springs (size being 33x 10.5 BFG KM2's)

[tanshi]

are you running Narrow track spring spacing?, this will help with clearing the springs.

[stewy91]

i think alot of people go with the f-100 rims i think the have -27 off or you could get your rims flipped

[tanshi]

-28 you can get in, speedys i think (or at least you used to be able to). in a 7 inch rim.

[jmd-247]

I have the standard spring spacing.

i want the larger offset for stability also.
i was asking them about anything in a -28 and they wouldnt let on any more.

If the speedy's are the way to go how does the 7 inch perform compared to the 8??



I was looking at the f100 rims.. couldnt find a definate offset tho.. -27 ya recon. this could work..

[jmd-247]

Few other threads on here say the offset of the f100s is -13??
could be wrong tho..

[xedent]

I just got dynamic rims 15x7 -12 bloke said he asked for f100 rims ?

[alien]

i've got procomp series 52 rims which are a 15x7-38mm - theyre awesome.

[jmd-247]

So in other words running the 33's on a 15x7 will be fine?
Alien how much were they a piece?? size tyre you running?

Here's some info for you:

Thanks mate.

that thread was about where i was up to or am up to..

might just have to run the -23. procomp have the 15x8 in a -50 offset but that is quite large..

still want to run the 33 bfg km2's..

cheers

[alien]

33x10.5 would be perfect on a 15x7 -38 IMO.

im running 31x10.5... i cant remember exactly what they cost me? i think it was around $140ea?

[dawsey]

well I went to 3 of the big tire shops chasing a cheap steel wheel, -20 off set in a 7inch x 15..asked them specifically about speedies...and got a big no..the best I was offered was a 0 offset for $48 each..I know wheel spacers are illegal but as far as them flying off as your goin down the highway I think is a myth..My brother raced v8 utes at wanneroo for years and he isn't the only 1 that uses them. and he has never heard of it happening.

[alien]

buy the $48 ones and take them to summerfield engineering in baldivis (rob)... he can cut and flip them to any offset you want for about $30ea from memory, then you just need to give them a paint job.

[jmd-247]

well i wasnt aware that the 15x7 would be an appropriate rim size for the 33x10.5? but it might be something to look into. i had a look at their website and found the rims ur talking about..
i think in the 15x8s that the -50 would be too much, but then again would they???

[smiffkid]

hey aron do u have a number for summerfields,

[smiffkid]

dynamic do a -25 in a 15x8, but they around 140 each

[alien]

uhhh, (08) 9459 1078?
... he's just an old bloke in a shed doing what he loves, but he has some medical issues so doesnt work as much as he used to.

all the google searches say he is in kenwick but he's in baldivis off mundijong rd and then south about another 8km or so.

[smiffkid]

what do they balance up like,

[alien]

mine were brilliant... he does it all by hand too... amazing to watch. he then skimmed the back of mine as well to make sure they had maximum, and even contact onto the hub.

[smiffkid]

i have some 7 inch rims here i might see if he can flip them to like a -40 or something

[alien]

do it =D they'll stick soooo far out the jimny's guards! haha

[smiffkid]

yours are a neg 38 which is about the same as neg 25 in a 15x8, and there only 12mm more then mine haha, so a -40 15x7 should hang like 2 inchs out the guards, sick

[alien]

dare you to do it and paint them bright pink!

[smiffkid]

Bright pink, no way that would look super gay, mind you high vis yellow looks pretty daft aswell but u get that, might paine them white not sure as they will prob get bead locked in the future

[alien]

for the jimny or the LJ? Red would look cool... like lego wheels =P

[smiffkid]

for the jimny, wont let the tired down on the lj lol
might just go black and leave it at that

Gday all, I am looking into buying some rims for my 1987 Suzuki Sierra narrow track ute. The rims are 15x7 with a -13 offset and 30x9.5r15. is -13 a suitable off set ? I dont want to have to make any modifications like flares. Any pictures would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

[jdk81]

I had 32x9.5 on 3p rims. (Dynamic rims iirc)
They stayed inside the stock flares, however bit of scrubbing on front springs at full lock
