16x8 rims needed

Post by Furgus »

Hi all

I desperately after a set of 4 16 inch rims which are 8 inch width, obviously (for me) they need to be five stud pattern suitable for a RR classic (well actually there for the 90 but seeing as that has a RR rear axle....) They are for a set of Super Swampers which specify an eight inch width........

Thanks for that, I know they fit no problem BUT if I happen to have an oops on the road, then I'm worried that the insurance company will tell me to FO if they're not on the specified sized rims.....we all know how good they are at getting out of claims.....
If at first you don't succeed .... Get a bigger hammer!!

would that still be the same problem with 16x8 rims? ,as they are not standard for your insurance .
Imo beedlock your 16x7, it gives you 1/2 inch wider rim.
so would only work out 12mm less than 16x8 but much better for your swampers.only saying this because i found it hard to find 16x8 or 16x10 rims for mine.so the money saved on not getting new rims. that i couldnt find. i used towards getting beedlockers.
what size swampers are they?
