Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Anyone know of any 16" x 6" or 6.5" rims that may have the correct offset for a Suzuki (NT)? Looking to run a narrow tyre, possibly 205R16. Tried a few tyre shops, but they only seem to be able to get a 16 x 7, which may a bit to wide for the 205R16, also seem very pricey compared to a 15x7 sunny.

Or, any std 16 x 6 rims (lux, courier etc) that is suitable to cut and shut a std Vitara or Sierra centre into? Have Rodeo rims at home but the dia between it and a Vitara centre is a bit far out and would need a spacer ring to work.

Cheers

have a look at gv rims they are 16 but dont know how wide if not i know lada rims would probly do

Lada rims will not work- offset is way way wrong.

2wd f100 rims are an option but they need to have the centre bore enlarged

GV rims are 16x7 but the offset is good.

Lj's and commercial sierras used 16 x 4.5 rims with the correct offset. A bit narrow for 205's though

Check with a different tyre dealer. Pretty sure king or speedy or someone of that kind makes a 16x6.5, I think

I have a set of the 16 x 4.5 Suzuki rims with good 600 x 16 bar treads to replace the 31's and 15 x 8's thats on it atm to get it regoed, but can't see these will have the best on road manners. The 31's also scrub pretty badly on the front.

Vehicle is a 1.3 NT LWB with std running gear bar a small spring/shackle lift (80mm clearance between front bump stop and diff), so i don't want to run too tall a tyre. Hence the seaminly odd choice in tyre size. Will give it a 2" BL soon for a bit of clearance and change to a 1L transfer when i track one down, which should give me pretty close to stock gearing with the 205R16's.

Other option may be to run 235/75R15's on the 8" rims i have, but offset may still be a problem

Re the std F100 rims, if the offset ok for the zuk? Can open up the centre bore easy enough.

I think a 7" rim is just a bit big for a 205R16 ?????

i didnt think they were still being made.
a custom set prob wouldnt be too costly either; from a wheel repair place or some thing.

What about older 4wd f100 rims. Then there would be no need to bore out the centers ???

4WD F100's had 15" rims stock in Australia.

4WD F250's had 16" rims, the same size as 2WD F100 rims, but they used 8 wheel studs.
