here is a liink with the rim i am looking to buy
http://www.procomp.com.au/Default.asp?MenuId=WHEEL_0152
its a rock crawler 16x8 with a CUSTUM -50mm offset and 2.5inch back spacing
procomp says 140each with a 2 month wait which is fine
i have a 3inch back spacing now on my 15x7s with also an extra 1.5 inch spacers
by getting these custom 16x8s i can get ride of my spacers and still keep my width
plus going the extremes 33x10.5x16 im gaining less side wall bulge and a skinny tyre. there only 9.5 wide on a inflated rim so they are skinny
what does everyone think???????

that said they should work well for you. With a 10.5 tyre I would go a 7 inch rim .. but thats just my preference.

I don't think this is going to be a great setup.
You're dropping a heap of money on rims that are too wide for a 10.5, and whilst your massive width might not have bitten you yet, it will. Our widest cars are 5" narrower than you are planning (in rim, not counting sidewall bulge) and they already suffer from falling into "fullsize" holes.
I'd be squeezing those 10.5's onto GV rims (16X7, 5P, so roughly 3" backspaced)- you'll end up with a more capable car, or running an off the shelf 15X7 and a 15" tyre. At 33" tall, a 15" rim doesn't result in an excessively tall sidewall.
As for the extremes themselves, they seem OK, I guess.
Trust me, at the overall width and rim width you are planning, you'll be digging those rims into the ground and having a hard time of it.
Just my 2C.
