16 x 10 wheels

[Timmy]

ok im having some trouble sourceing some 16 x 10" wheels to suit a jeep wrangler....what would be the best way to get to this size...as in...buy some 16 x 8's and chop them up ....or would it suit to get some 16 x 8's and beadlock them inside and out...that would make the fitting size greater wouldnt it?....im looking to mount some 15" or 15.5" wide tryres...any thoughts? iv phoned a few places about prices on widening wheels but none seam to want to get back to me to fast.

You could get some 16x10 6 Stud rims and cut the centres out and put in some 5 stud centres (assuming you are playing with Sunraysia type rims).

Why 16"s? Have you already got the tyres?

[Timmy]

thats what i was thinking about doing...but trying to find someone in the brisbane area to do that is not easy..let alone getting someone to call you back with a price...and yeh, i allready have to tyres...

um.....why dont you just buy some 16 x 10 rims to suit tj? procomp 4x4 in melbourne (locky on this board) probably have them in stock. can ship any where.

[greg]

There must be some around... There are at least 3 places in melbourne that do it.

Estimated cost per rim is $40 to $50 unpainted (assuming you supply the rims of course).

Talk to Big Balls Offroad - i'm pretty sure they can organise that kind of order for rims etc.

Cheers.

Just run the tyres on 16x8 wheels beadlocked on the outside. This is what Cheezy has been running for ages (but in a 15") and never had a problem, he says they also bag really well setup like this.

You could try "USA 4x4" in Melbourne.

he usually only buys them from local people, who import them, like procomp, wheel boys etc
