just fitted my new simex's look and drive awsome, ratio's are still ok speedo is 20kms out though. Have also fitted new shiny , larger ricer intercooler, had to lip the guards slightly and trim the inside of the plastic flares got sum 2" wheel spacers as i couldnt get rims with the offset i needed to make tyres fit. Offroad test on the weekend if any perth hatsu's wanna mud it up

We can get 15x8" with -28mm offset.. Isn't that enough?

needed 2" more than a standard F100 rim, i did order some and they said a week but 2 months later i decided to look elsewhere, everyone else gave no definet date. They all told me the rims had to come from the eastern states, so i air freighted some wheel spacers from the U.S. it took 3 days $139 ea Aus

Wow, that's steep. As long as they do the job.
I didn't think wider offset rims were that hard to get, being the same as a Sierra. You are alllll the way over in WA though

Thats considerably cheaper than a certain well know 4wd store here in sydney. Not a bad option when you'd probly be spending $100ea on 2" offset rims. But with spacers, you can just take them off, and still run the same tyres on the same rims without the offset, if need be.

15x8 Speedy desert rats with -28 offset are a fair bit cheaper than $100 each.

yeah snake racing wanted $189 ea for wheel spacers
its cheaper to get stuff like series 3 rockhopper transfer gears for sierra's and similar stuff shipped over from the U.S. as well
lokka/lockrite makes there products here and ships them to U.S. so aus companies have to buy them back from overseas. lokka here $500 au
lokka U.S. $189 us thats f----d
