Planning on buying Rock crawler rims Black "O" 15x8
TYRES
Super Swamper TSL, Super Swamper LTB.
Silverstone pedes (MT 117 i think)
Want to go to no smaller than 33" prefer 34"
How wide can i go with the tyre?
Has anyone used the above tyres?
After something that bag well on rock mainly, thats why i was looking at the Swampers.
Any advice, recomendations ideas, appreciated. Tim.
What are you driving? I needed about 50mm more offset than stock to run either my 33/12.5's BFG's or 35/10.5 pedes, to stop them rubbing on the control arms.
Pedes are generally considered crap on rocks. I drive mainly mud, so I can't say much
Ok didnt think they were that bad.
Any ideas on were to offset rims?
Rock crawlers are not really offset, Just any extra width above standard is added to the outside of the rim.

dw i have be raiding axels from a mate who has a stack of stuffed parts

lol
Well ended up getting 33" swamper TSL's and Black "O" Rock crawler rims, the rims should be deliverd tomorrow, Picked up the tyres from OPW today.
Will give some feed back on the weekend when i test them out.
My bro was running 35x10.5 on hes 2 door rangie.. never broke diff or axels. I think the type of 4wd one does breaks stuff, if your a bulldozer driver expect to break sh!t all the time. He wasnt, he was always a tactical, analytical driver. Was into some difficult driving conditions, but was always sensible in hes approach.
i remember years ago i blew my standard rear diff with stock tyres, then been running maxi rear and 33"x10.5" muddies over the last 4years with no dramas with standard front end and only had 2 front centres go
275 that's toyota price - you'd be mad to pay that much - can't give them away in Tas as there is no demand for them here. I would gladly exchange my old ones for a carton of beer or two
Nice gq swb ute chop with a huffer for the good times
Regarding your PM, the 24 spline diff's I would want 500 usually, but with frieght, about 250 to Sydney, its getting to dear for you to bother, they are marginally stronger, but still not strong enough, I'd give 'em to you for 650 delivered.......but think you start looking at alternatives, I'll leave it with the masses
Wanted: Car trailer or beaver tail truck, let me know what you got
Replaced the centre about 3weeks ago, but surprise surprise i blew it up again on the weekend. I need complete diff now, blew some decent holes in the housing this time.
You got any more spares for a 85 RRC?
