what rim for 38s and GU *found the answer*

need some info...

i currently have 35x12.5s (BFG muddies) on 15x8 rims with cruiser offset and have never had a problem.

i have run 37x13.5 (claws) on 15x10 rims (unsure of the offset) and only had minor scrubbing on the guards (outer tire slightly scrubbed on the inner of the flare/sill but a hammer easily sorted that)

also have run 38x12.5 swampers on 15x8 rims (unsure of offset again :oops: :roll: ) and they were the same as the claws..



im looking for a set of rims for my 38s but unsure of what offset i should go :?
i can get a set of 15x7.5s for cheap but they are a different offset to the cruisers... (they are about 22mm "shallower" than the cruisers)


any ideas?

no beadlocks (yet)..

why would the swampers peel of the rims?
the rims are only 15X7s
