What offset are you aiming for?

righto cool let me no how ya go
and yeh the biggest off set u can get on a 15x8 f100 rim is neg 23 i already have 31s on 15x7 rims with neg 15 offset which is about the same and i would like to get them alot more offset as my wheel hits the shock mount and i plan on getting bigger tyres in the future plus my car always wants to tip over

When were you looking at doing them?

Wrong.

You can get KingWheels Sunrasia Pattern. +28 15x8 Got mine $75each

For a Suzuki Sierra / F100/F150 5 Stud pattern.

The more offset, The more clearance you will need in those guards, And Extended flares for legal issues.

I have these, with 33x12.5s......I have nicely pollished shockmounts as well..

But 1st i smoothed them with a hammer so no sharp edges.

how long is a max? Is it longer than a millimetre or shorter than an inch?

Offset is measured in millimetres. Backspacing is generally measured in inches.

"Max" doesn't mean anything. It 's not a measurement.

i would make sure that you really need 2 inches because if you can get away with less your wheel bearings are going to be far better off, maybe look at steering stops too

not worried about the wheel bearings and limiting my steering is not an option for me, already wrecked a suzuki from rolling it was to skinny and high, just going to make some big flares and the guards can be bashed in if it hits,

and im planning to do a spoa conversion in the future is the main reason i want it wider

Have you considered having them made from scratch?

Try fourbys at moorooka in brissy. Ask for Ryan

Width is cool to a point but have you considered not lifting it as high?

Low is the new lift, bumpstops are the new flex.

A sierra that's hilux height and hilux width is just a 1.3 litre hilux.

well in my scenario, max does mean something. It was the largest offset available for my patrol, and its -44.

So what you meant is the most offset available off the shelf, and it's useful to know that's -44.

Any amount of offset is possible if you have the rims custom made.

They can do them if your interested, best go see them with an old rim before yo order them so every one is talkin the same language.

And be 110% illegal.

Hope you won't be driving it on the road???

Yes but it will only be 50% of the weight, or something.

It never ceases to amaze me after all the years and all the threads about SPOA, people still think they can just put rooted flat springs SPOA and it will be all good so long as it's got mega offset rims and stuff.

There's so much tech about SPOA (and also how illegal it is in QLD) that there's no excuse fo this.

yeh i got an old rim were do i go?
