Excuse me in advance for knowing nothing about wheels & tyres.
Would anyone know if a wheel in the size 15x8 with a -19 offset is going to cause big scrubbing problems for a raised sierra coily (50mm body/40mm springs) when fitted with 30x9.5 15s?
Would I be better off getting wheels in 15x7?
Would I be better off with a -25 offset?
Might get em from the U.S, but if I get the wrong size it would be a small disaster.

-25 15x7's will be fine for a 30x9.5. 15x8's are not required. You may have to fit some bump stop spacers if you get scrubbing, but thats childs play.

What if the wheels I really wanted only came in -19 & 15x8, would that be no big deal to get them even though they are not ideal?
They are very b-ling but thats the only size in suzi stud pattern.
Or I should go 15x7 with -25 cause that is better suited to the car & tyre?
If 15x7 is a must i'll just get sunnys.
Where is the best place to get sunnys in Sydney?

i have 31 x 10.5s with 15 x 8 rims on a inch offset

mine scrubbed on the bumper which i have now taken off and a little at the back end which has been beaten in,
with 30's you should be fine man, and i cant see 15 x 8's being a problem, especially if you plan on going bigger tyres in the future

i don't think that a 9.5 inch wide tyre would be all that good on a 8 inch wide tyre.

[taszook]

wouldnt you need more than -19 on a 8" rim to clear the chassis?


maybe not on a coily

7" would be betterer for 9.5" tyres.

I have 31x10.5 on an 8" rim with -23 offset and my tyres touch the spring by a bee's dick if im really having a go.

[DomGat]

If I was to want to put a 31x10.5 on instead of a 30x9.5 would it still fit 15x7 with -38?

Rock crawlers might be a lot easier than importing. Desert rats look ok too, but there is no sizes in 15x7.

[SierraDan]

Alien has 31's on 15x7 -38 i believe.

If that is the wheels mentioned in the post I read from July last year then I think I've worked it out.
