hey everyone,
just wondering what ''flipped rims'' are or how you get/make them

[Joshyboy26]

When you have big tyres sometimes you need a big rim offset which isnt sold out of the factory. So some fabricators cut the centre out of the rim and reweld it in with a big offset. Many 4wd shops and tyre places will do it.

[fully sick coily]

Does it cost alot?

[Joshyboy26]

Normally bout 60 bucks or so a wheel

How much do you charge?

[Rusho]

He charges $50 a wheel

[fully sick coily]

also do i need longer shocks if i run spring spacers?

[Joshyboy26]

Take ur shocks out and flex it up and measure eye to eye and see if ur shocks meet the measuresments. Ideally you want about 30 mm either side just to be safe. Ie your shock will close up 30mm more than ur closed length and open 30 mm more than ur open length.

[fully sick coily]

What if i put 30mm extended bumps with 30mm coil spacers?

[atari4x4]

what are you going to do about the limited options for extended front shocks available for the coily?

if you want more height you'll be better off with a bodylift or buy a leafy.

Hi Fully sick coily, mate with a coily the standard rims have more positive offset than with a leafy (i.e less dish than a leafy) so even running a set of standard leafy rims makes a big differenc to the look, they will just about stick out past your guards. On leafy's it is common for people to run 15x7 F100 offset (-13), on a coily they will look mega wide and require added rubber flare extensions. I would try aset of WT leafy rims for starters, you should get a set very cheap and they will look considerably wider on your car.

thanks,
at the moment i got 15x8 sunraisias with 30x9.5 maxxis buckshots and they stick out a bit
but they dont scrub on any thing (its not lifted yet )
so i will have to put sum rubber flares on soon

any recomendations?

Then buy a bigger tyre to fit them.

[fully sick coily]

Why a bigger tyre?

Ideally a 15x7' rim is all you need for a 30x9.5 tyre. A 15x8' rim is for 31x10 or even a 33' tyre.
