16x8 rims

Post by warthog »

Does anyone know if you can buy 16x8 steel rims in a patrol offset? I've had a look at speedy and roh's websites and can only find steel rims of the correct size in a L/C offset.

call around some wreckers, check trading post or look in the for sale section for a set of GU 16x8 steel rims
GQ LWB TD42, boost, lockers etc

You should be able to but most people would want cruiser offset anyway for extra width, tyre clearance and stability.

I certainly wouldnt have been happy with my GQ's -10mm or +0mm standard offset.

Which Patrol offset do you mean anyway? GQ came out in a range of offsets and MQ and GU are different again.

Thanks insane, might wait till we go to melb again. Pay through the nose at wreckers here if you could get Gu rims, trading post aint much chop as getting rims here probably ups the price too much. Was wanting two rims to replace the 15x7 on the camper trailer to the same size and offset as the patrol so they are iterchangeable if needs be and was hoping aftermarket would do it but appears not. ROH only do 16x7 in the correct offset.

I got my rims through arctic cool treads... brand new was about $90 a rim and a range of offsets available.

GU steel rims had big issues with cracking yet still go for like $300 each at a wrecker. Dont even bother trying to work that one out cos it makes 0% sense.

At a price from the wrecker for one cracked (but a hole drilled to stop it cracking further) GU rim for $220 I hung up immediately. 10 Phone calls later was unable to beat $200 on a secondhand Nissan rim.

Bloody good reason to buy some L/C rims if you cant find anything else.

Same offset as me - not original GQ offset.

Early GQ's at best were +0 15x7. Dunno the spec on later GQ or GU 16x8 for offset - anyone know who has that model?
