Some newbie Q's for rodeo wheels

[Malarac]

Hi,

I am new to all this only having had my 4wd for about a year now. I have a 95 dual cab DLX with the 2600 petty engine. Have been on a few 4wd trips, mainly to double island point and over to fraser for a week (the ol' girl did surprisingly well - even over indian head with a newb driver). I am in need for new tyres and want some clarification before I waste my money. Currently the setup is 16"x 6" wheels with 205/80 r16's.
What wheels are compatible with the rodeo inset (I have had a look and am i correct in saying the Navara / Hilux are ok but the landcruiser are different?). If the landcruiser has a different inset can I still use em?
2nd, All six stud swheels will fit onto the rodeo?
Lastly, I am looking to go for 31" and width depending on what is available second hand (thank you ebay) so that I don't need to do any lifting. Is all this correct? I am not that wealthy but I need both bigger and wider tyres because the only trouble I have had has been riding on the sand due to ride height and crappy 205's digging into soft sand.
Thanks for your help

Malarac,

Can only speak on behalf of the 98 onwards but I am hazarding a guess that there is not too much difference. Now for the confusing stuff!

If you want to go 31's from your standard 205's you will probably have to go a wider rim to start with. For example if you go with a 31 in a BFG, the minimum rim size is 7" the max is 9".

If money is a factor go 15" rather than 16" as they are cheaper for both the rim and the tyre. Acording then to the old ROH Wheels gude that I can no longer find on their web site, the Rodeo 4 Cylinder in a 15 x 7 has a 7 positive offset. This corresponds to the IFS LUX, Pajero, Jackaroo, Navara.

If you did go 16", then the same guide indicates that you need a 16 x 7 with a 7 positive offset. This is the same I beleive as the IFS Hiluxes, Navaras, Jackaroos.

Re your second question, the 6 stud hub has what is called a 139.7 PCD which is the same as the Luxes, Land Cruisers, Pajero's Navaras and Patols. So any 6 stud wheel with a 139.7 PCD measurement should fit on the hub.

Re Landcruiser offset... I am running 16 x 8 landcruiser rims on my 98 Rodeo with no probs but I have it lifted and have done some guard work.

When my truck was stock standard I was running 15X7 with BFG 31" all terrains perfectly. I think I was using Kings rims (had a red and green stripe on the out side). These will give you an extra 1" of lift over your 205's (31 vs 29").

PM me with your email address and I will send you the copy of the ROH application guide that I was using as a reference when I was sussing out the same stuff.

Cheers
Rainsey

Malarac,
I have the same ute in the 2.8 diesel.
Currently running 245/75/16 Cooper STT's on 16x7 Sunraysia type navara offset rims.
These fit without rubbing and I havent done the body lift that rainsey has done.
Tyres are around the $230 to $250 each mark and the cheapest rims I could find in 16"were $90 each, 15"are around $45 ea.
The 245/75/16 will squeeze onto the std rim which I did for 8 months but are better on the 7" IMO.
The above tyres will effect your speedo and under read around 11%.
Yes for a much maligned vehicle the old rodeo's arn't that bad in the sand are they.

Cheers, for the assistance guys.

Currently in the process of purchasing some new tyres+rims and I am confident they will be fine thanks to your help.

Will add a photo when I finally add them, just for laughs given most the hardcore rigs everyone has on this site
