Custom rims can be made to any size depending on tyres available. Just look at speedway sprint cars. I think they run about 20 inch wide on a 14 inch rim.
You can get Sunnys from tyre shops with big offset to suit up to 12 inch wide tyres. Any bigger may be a custom request.

About a 10.5R, but some people have run wider!

Off the shelf, you'll probably find the "landcruiser" offset (-23mm) to be the widest. But you can get whatever you want if you have enough $$$.

Whatever you want. It depends how/where you drive your car as to what size tyres will be safe though. On 15x7's i wouldn't go any wider than a 10.5" (but i have run 12.5" with no problems), and no taller than a 33", provided you dont air down too much.
You can buy really good quality 15x8 wheels for $70 each (King Wheels), so you might be better of saving and going for a set of those, and then you can run whatever size you want to!

PS. It is spelt "tyres" in Australia, and "tires" in America - pretty sure nobody spells it as "tyers"

bit of an odd question.
my rims on my Fj40 are 13.5inches wide.
the offset is roughly 4inches on the inside and 9inches on the outside.
deep enough offset i cant use a tyre iron to get at wheelnuts need to use sockets and extensions.
but yeah you could have them pretty wide, to run 44bogger etc.

i guess he forgot to say off the shelf or factory, etc
Yeah cruiser off set and x10.5 wide.
Most 15x8 are cruiser offset.

A bit off topic, but doesn't Kincrome or Snap-Off make a nice long-reach wheel brace?
I know even with my 33x12.5's i regularly take bark off, or worse - bust my fingernails while using a standard length wheel brace. Pretty sure i had to use a breaker bar and extension when i had the 37's.

Thanks Crew,
The 6stud question was for wheels to go on a 75 Landcrusier, Doesnt need anything thats not "off the shelf".
The 15x7 question is for Lada rims to go on a Narrow track Sierra so I cant use 15x8's or I will lose the wide offset that the lada rims are.
Thanks again.

38.5X11 Boggers would be the biggest tyre you can run on a 7" rim
I wouldn't recommend exceeding 10.5 on a 7" rim.
Q78's are really happy on 7's.
Steve.
