Wheels/tyres for my Sierra.

Post by mooks100 »

Hi all.
Am currently having my hardtop sierra built and want to get some 33x12.5x15 claws to put on my new rig. I would like to increase the track width as i've gone spoa. My question is this. Who makes wheels, alloy or steel, in Australia, with a backspacing of about 2.5". I know Eastern Wheelworks will make me up a custom set for around 250 a wheel and can recentre steel wheels for about 50 a wheel, but are there any I can just buy off the shelf?

I'm also considering the same size Boggers. Has anyone had these on their Zuke which they use as a daily driver. What'd you think? Safe on road? Performance off road? I want to do some longer trips so they will get used for highway driving occasionally.

Any helpfull advice appreciated.

Hey Red-Zook
Haven't bought the Claws yet, but have called around for a price. Best I found for the radials is $295 each. What do you reckon? Good price or not?

how about keeping your current wheels for road?

It really takes 15mins to change all 4 tyres when you go offroad. I suprised more ppl don't do this

I have run 33x13.5/15 claws for years, very happy with them on my zook but you will need beadlocks, you need to be able to air down to zero PSI sometimes (3PSI is impressive).they are getting a bit low in the tread now and for a change I am going to try some 34"LTB's.

you could buy my custom offset 15 x 7s, they are offset to allow a nt to sit wider than a wt
