15x10 rims

[dont_follow_me]

Hi

does anyone know where I can get some 15x10 rims??? might have to get them made but if I could find a source for 'off the shelf' items that'd be great

cheers

eastern wheel works?

with the dollar at the mo, ure probably best importing them from across the pond.

but have to ask why 10's?

[dont_follow_me]

to stop a 37 inch tyre rolling off the rim, most manufacturers recommend at least a 10 inch rim.

any ideas beside beadlocks

IMHO if they are rolling off 8" or 9" rims without beadlocks, they will roll off 10" rims without beadlocks more often.

A substitute for beadlocks is screws - search pirate for the thread on this from inchworm (also look for inchworm in the vendors page on pirate).

hows that work, the wider rim should make them seat better at low pressures......shouldnt they

why would the tyre manufacturer advise to use a 10 inch rim for a 37 when a 35 can be run on a narrower rim??? sorry, dont understand

To remove a tyre from a rim you have to push the tyre sidewall in towards the centre.

To mount a tyre to a rim the tyre sidewalls have to push out to create a seal.

The wider the rim the further out the tyre sidewalls are pushed before they make contact with the rim and create a seal. Conversly the narrower the rim the closer the tyre will be to making contact with the bead without any pressure (air).

If your rim is too wide then when you deflate your tyres for bush work there is no pressure holding the tyre against the rim. The narrower the rim the less the external pressure needed to keep it in place.

I used to regularily run 10 inch tyres on 7 inch rims at 8 psi without problems. People on 8 ich rims with the same tyre would pop them off.

Hope this is clear

as above, and forget about what the manufacturers say, unless the tyre is 14.5" or wider keep to a 8" or 9" - 15 x 8, 16 x 8 or 17 x 9, u only 10's if ure a pootrool. alot easier to get rims this way too.
