off-topic, but am i correct that they are same as 100 series stud pattern?

If so, where did you order them with the 34 offset?

keep the pics coming guys, we all need more inspiration
Factor in some diff gears too. I run 4.56 which i find ideal for my use.
would those gear ratios be ok with 33s and 35s, as i have a spare diff at home, and will eventually get it locked, and same with the front, so if those gears work ok with the smaller tyres, i may put them in before i have the tyres, so that its done once not twice.

hulsty, i would also like to be enlightened about the h55f information, and i do run that box

cheers guys

I'm in the process of putting a 12HT auto transfer behind my H55F. Most Aus spec H55F's that i've found have a ~1.9 ratio low range, the 12HT auto i've sourced has a ~2.3 ratio low range. Which is roughly equivalent to running 4.88 ratio diffs in low range with not change in high.

Greater City Tyres Bendigo is where I was going to order them.
I think they might be ROH wheels. Most/some wheel
manufacturers will make rims to order. I spoke to the service guy
at the tyre shop and told him I wanted 16x8 with neg 34 offest.
He quoted me $100 a rim. I think I might be able to do better though.
If you have a local tyre shop, not big franchise, they will be more
willing to go the extra mile and your suporting small Aussie business.

Not sure if the 100 series has 6 or 5 stud. Think its 5 stud though.
Whatever it is a decent tyre mob should be able to get whatever you
want. Go talk to the tyre shop and tell them what you want.

Cheers.
