Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Hi guys, I was wondering what sort of Rim offset would best suit my LWB Vitara. I am thinking -15mm at this stage but thought I'd get your advice before I fork out for them.

Thanks, Ben

I have sent you a PM. 15x7 with -15mm offset work well with 30" tyres, 2" suspension lift and 1" body lift.

All the best.

Hey guys, I am about to go for 30"x9.5" Bighorns with 15x7 rims with a 0mm offset. That's right, none. Will these fit without scrubbing?

Which way does the offset go, ie + and -

you want a negative 15 offset... ie: 15x7 -15 offset, speedy desert rat steel rims are the ones you are after they suit an f100 but fit on the vitara perfectly.

Ah ok, thanks for that mate. so the 0 offset won't be enough.

The -15 will stick out a bit more(15mm) too won't they.

With a 30mm body lift and 40mm suspension and the right offset i should clear them shouldn't I?

0 offset might scrub, i'm not sure but i reckon they would. the body & spring lift should clear the 30x9.5.... mine neve got close but i'm running more lift so you can only hope

-15 should be perfect with 40mm sus and 1" body.

You'll prolly need to rip your front mudflaps off, but otherwise all good.

This is exactly the setup I have and the details I sent you via PM. The 0 deg rims WILL scrub on the inside of the rear wheel arch and when turning the fronts will scrub on the rear of the front wheel arch. The -15mm (yes, 15mm wider) with the 30's and 40-50mm sus and 25mm body WILL NOT scrub.

Thanks for that guys, I had almost bought the 0 offset ones and am lucky i posted up.

I'll make sure i go for the -15mm

Thanks, Ben

for what purpose? Why do you want or need the offset rims?

I'm going the 30x9.5 inch tyres and without the correct offset they will scrub.
