Outer Limits 4x4 Board

here is a liink with the rim i am looking to buy

http://www.procomp.com.au/Default.asp?MenuId=WHEEL_0152

its a rock crawler 16x8 with a CUSTUM -50mm offset and 2.5inch back spacing

procomp says 140each with a 2 month wait which is fine

i have a 3inch back spacing now on my 15x7s with also an extra 1.5 inch spacers

by getting these custom 16x8s i can get ride of my spacers and still keep my width

plus going the extremes 33x10.5x16 im gaining less side wall bulge and a skinny tyre. there only 9.5 wide on a inflated rim so they are skinny

what does everyone think???????

why not get 31x9.5's on your 15x7's and spend the savings on fuel for wheeling??? =)

cause ill loose track width and loose tyre height and diff height so its all bad for 4wheeling
thanks for the reply

oh sorry i didnt see 33... i thought i read 31... lol

some thing though - cant you get swampers in 34x9.5? im sure they dont measure 34 too.

Shouldnt matter what others think
that said they should work well for you. With a 10.5 tyre I would go a 7 inch rim .. but thats just my preference.

I don't think this is going to be a great setup.

You're dropping a heap of money on rims that are too wide for a 10.5, and whilst your massive width might not have bitten you yet, it will. Our widest cars are 5" narrower than you are planning (in rim, not counting sidewall bulge) and they already suffer from falling into "fullsize" holes.

I'd be squeezing those 10.5's onto GV rims (16X7, 5P, so roughly 3" backspaced)- you'll end up with a more capable car, or running an off the shelf 15X7 and a 15" tyre. At 33" tall, a 15" rim doesn't result in an excessively tall sidewall.

As for the extremes themselves, they seem OK, I guess.

Trust me, at the overall width and rim width you are planning, you'll be digging those rims into the ground and having a hard time of it.

Just my 2C.

thanks steve ill drop width to a 7inch rim so ill be looking at 16x7 with a 2.5inch backspace

the tyres should fit on fine and ill still have my wideaz look

thanks for the help everyone
