Best answer.

Without providing any more details, this is about the most depth an answer to this thread can have.

p.s. there is infomation in the bible on rim offset etc.

Layto....

I just don't think 15 feet of offset is such a smart idea either

It would be a large turning circle but you would never roll it...

I rang around. Cheapest i found was 28mm offset kingwheels $75 each. But ur in qld. So you will have to find another place!

I got 15x8 -28 offset Speedy rims for $65 each. I think they only do -25 offset now but 3mm makes SFA difference.

Any tyre shop should be able to order Speedy's for ya

where abouts in qld are you? if you are in the brisbane area check out forbys in moorooka, its on ipswich rd

mine are 15x8 -24mm, picked them up from there a couple months ago for $70 each

depending on rim size you are limited on offset unless you get them flipped.

um by adding offset rims you are doing nothing for your wheelbase. You are increasing your track width tho. So what are you trying to achieve?

quick newbie explanation of wheelbase vs track width.

Wheelbase is what you think your girlfriend wants from you, track width is actually what she wants

You'll need lifted spring then as well.

try procomp melbourne they sale made in USA steel rim 15 to 17 inch good price to rock crawler brand i think. hope this help

Post by **GRPABT1** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 12:36 pm

This has all been discussed before but just getting rims in F100 offset is not the best offset you can get. Speedy make 15X7 with -14 offset and 15X8 with -24 offset.

Post by **waandy** » Fri Jan 02, 2009 11:05 pm

are you a wide track or narrow track? what size tyres are you running or planning to run? i run 31s on 15x7 -14 offset speedy desert rats and have no real scrubbing issues. bit of guard massarging with a hammer and a bl fixd that. but as i am nt they scrub on the chassis very slightly when the wheel is pushed past full lock slightly. i believe wt dnt have the issue
sorry to talk crap about rims but its good ta get it rite first time.
cheers
