rims to suit tyres

Post by Hiluxhunter »

Hi
I am looking at buying either 31'' silverstone mt117 or 33'' for my Hilux double cab ute Ln106

I currently have 31'' x 10.5 A/Ts on a 6 stud 15'' rim i think?

Will 33'' fit on this rim?

Will they rub or stop turning?

Look on the 4wd Bits site.
Has rim recommendations and rim measurements (width and off-sets)

That's how I did my research 8)
Cheers,
I keep looking for the loose nut behind the wheel, but I can't find it!!

I have 33" Khumo's KL71's on 15x8 rims dont know the offset I think a standard offset.

Depends on the offset you get on the rims the sides of the Silverstones might touch the chassie on full lock, but not to sure on that.

the 10.5 rim is wide so will make the tire bulge out which is not good, best to get a smaller width rim.

I think that is right, someone else will have to come and put there 2c in.

Cheers

Depends on the width of your rims.
8 inch rims will take 33's.

Not all tyres are the same width. Eg 31-10.5 x 15 maxxis tread width is approx 185 mm as opposed to Firestone ATX 31's with tread width of 210 mm so ask to check one when fitting.
It also depends on the offset of you rims.
