Have you got something against punctuation???





Try sunraysia or speedy's and you can most probably get whatever offset you want, mine are off a Zuk and have a reasonable dish, enough to make 235/75's stick an inch out of the guards.

If ya want deep dish, get ya rims reversed. Or buy a set of speedy desert rats - 15x8 with a -28mm offset. I run these on my zook with swampers, and they give me about 2 inch past my flares extra width, so bout 3 inchs wider per rim. Though they also wear wheel bearings faster. Croz , when ya comin wheeling up here mate, long time no see.

ok might sound like a stupid question
but
what wrong with just bolting your wheels on backwards ?
why do you need to get them reversed ?

Anthony I suggest you go and sit near your car and have a think about what you've done....

Actually, it might work. Just be sure to remove the brakes and steering components first.

thanks for the help


p.s. Croz yes i do have something against punctuation it stabed me in the back a long long time ago id kill it if i ever got the chance

[jabboo]

? i dont get you croz
why do i have to remove brakes and steering components ?

im talking about the rim
not the wheel hub

just take the rim off the hub and bolt them on backwards
?
making sense ?

I think his taking the piss out of you.

Bolting your rims backwards is:
1. Dangerous because if you look at the holes for the studs, they are tapered. This basically helps prevent your wheelnuts from coming loose.
2. What about the tyre valve? How will you get to them?
3. It will look farking stupid.

[jabboo]

the tapered thing i didnt realise
the valve thing .. if you need the massive offset for offroad why not
just stick your head under the truck and get to them.
deffinately wont be for onroad.

as for looking stupid ?
i think i would look heaps cool. with the tyres sticking out so far from the gaurds.

[lay80n]

Okay, i will say what Croz and everyone is trying to say. MOST RIMS WILL TOUCH STUFF LIKE BRAKES WHEN BOLTED ON BACKWARDS!!!!!
Take a look at ya rig, take the wheel off and look behind it, then think!!!
Some rims might fit, but most will drag on the brake caliper or not sit flush with the brake drum. If ya want wide track, get them reversed or get the rims that i suggested in my previous post.

I don't know for sure but go to a 4B wrecker and check out the 5 stud F100 and F150 Rims. Some of them run pretty big offsets and you can pick them up for next to nothing from a wrecker. I know that they run the same stud pattern providing that they are 5 stud and not 10 stud or what ever the bigger ones run.

[SWBmav]

I know pig dog, And he already has F100 which are 7.5 inch deep rims on the scat. Also there is no way he could put the rims on backwards because he has front and rear drum bracks. PS the only reson that he can't turn is because he got 35's exetrem trek on the old scat.

[SWBmav]

is that better

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
You said that twice, incase you didn't know!
