Here is some info on rim offsets - different brands

King -23mm
Rockcrawler -19mm
Dynamic -25mm
Speedy - 24mm
Roh +6mm

These are all 15x8 inch rims with zook stud pattern.

You cant get anymore than a inch - offset from aftermarket wheels for a zook, for more offset you get them flipped - which is about $50 a rim

Ordered 5x 15X8" speedy's with -24mm offset today. I'm pretty sure I got ripped a little at $92 a rim but after the guy at my local tyre shop put up with the moron on the phone from speedy for about half an hour, just to find out that they do stock them when I knew they bloody did I wasn't about to waste any more of his time cause he was a good bloke.

Get them on monday and for now will just run my 235/75 buckshot mudders on them till I get my pedes, will just have to keep them aired up a little more than usual whilst wheeling to prevent rolling a tyre of the bead.

I am very happy with mine. I run Maxxis Bighorn (more aggressive than Buckshots) 31x10.5's on mine at around 10psi (sometimes lower) when wheeling - I have had no problems at all. My highway/road pressure is 25psi max.

$92ea is the top end, but sometimes its just not worth the trouble is it... Anyway let us all know how you go with them!

Cheers,

235/75's work out to be about 9.5 inches wide hence why I'm gonna keep the pressures up a little, no lower than 15psi I think. I run them at 10psi on 7 inch rims now.

Well I got my new wheels yesterday, speedy 15X8" -24mm offset :D

Something to note is that one rime came buckled and is now the spare until they can get a new one from the supplier, I new that they weren't the worlds best quality brand of rim anyway and steel rims do bend.

Also it turns out my old rims that I thought were 15X7 were actually 15X6 so I have gained a whole 4 inches overall width in just changing rims! Should gain another inch when I go to 10.5inch wide tyres. I will probably have to get bigger flexy flares though lol.

Good to see you got the new rims sorted - but a bugger about the buckled one!... I hope you are getting your 10.5's soon (very soon) too - I wouldn't be feeling too safe with the current rubber on the 15x8's....

Cheers,

Pez

Yeah The 10.5's are next on the list. Then rear axle back. Funnily enough I woke up this morning and one tyre was flat and off the bead. Seams there was a little crap (rocks and stuff) imbedded in the bead area of the tyre. Got the tyre shop to clean it up and use some bead sealant and she's all sweet now, will monitor pressure over the next couple of days. Needless to say I won't be airing them down to 10psi like before lol 20psi minimum till I get my new tyres me thinks.
