rims and tyres

Post by geothro »

Does anyone know where I can find some rims to suit 35's and mud tyres??

Prefer eastern wheels works style but will consider anything.. Tyres need to be 35 x12.5 or equivelent in 16's subject to rims size??

Thanks Andrew, I will look into that.. Whats everyones opinion on running Q78 Super swampers, so 36inches tall x 11ish wide as my road tyres as well. Only drive twice a month if your lucky so just curious as to whether these will attract tooooo much attention...

What gearing/diffs/axles are you running?

The swampers at that size might be a PITA to drive on road in traffic... I am only running 33" BFG muddies, and it's bad enough driving around town ( I hate crowds anyway!)

Andrew, Maxis front and rear, LT95 (Soon to be ZF) and 5ltr injected...
2inch lift, 2 inch body, long travel procomps etc etc
As long as they drive reasonably I'll be happy. I run 33 x 10.5's now with no problem at all.....

But the car looks so undershoed now it's ridiculous.

I here you

I used to have 33 x 10.5 on 15 x 7 rims...the car felt very tippy and looked weird.

I am currently in 4wd Custom Action No 6 if you want to have a look at my rims.
