Coily wheels on Sunshine Coast?

How wide is a WT Sierra fitted with Coily wheels?
I need to fit my WT into a 1500mm wide trailer and mine is 1700mm with my (non standard) mag wheels.
I could remove my spacers but it will only bring it back to 1625mm.
Has anyone on the Sunshine Coast got a set of stock coily wheels with tyres I could borrow for Australia day weekend? PLEASE.. There's beer in it!
I won't be driving on them, so they don't need to be roadworthy, I just need them so I can fit in the trailer to get to LCMP and back again.

Coiler wheels are only going to make it 15mm narrower per side, so you'll still be 1595 with the spacers off.

Perhaps if your tricky you could get it on the trailer by rolling it on 2 trolley jacks then sit it on jack stands and strap it down tightly with the wheels off ie:just brakes. Then chuck the wheels on top.

tried flipping any of your wheel round, ie so inside is facing out

Unless he has modified wheels with huuuge offset it wont help much. Most aftermarket wheels are 50/50 split offset or not far from it.

My rims are 15X7". Alloys with very little positive offset if any.
So coily wheels are 15mm less out set than WT.
Thats 30mm for the two wheels.
Removing the spacers gives another 75mm. All up 105mm.
So I need to lose another 95mm.
What is the track width on a STOCK WT. ???? (Measured from centre of the tread on each tyre.) Stock rims are only 5" arent they?

I've got some normal serria rims (non coily) you can use ... but I'm on the gold coast

I don't think you'll get it on with rims on mate.

can i ask why your not just driving it out there?

i used to drive around in the mud4b with 35" tyres and then 37" tyres, im sure 33 will not be a problem.
