if buying new you can just say... sj413 rims, or you can specify you want lots of offset etc. only thing they may mention is that you may need flares but as soon as you mention that you are puting them on a dedicated offroader they are usually fine. i got crusier offset wheels for my paj and the guy on the ph at bg marketing (wheel supplier) was telling me black and blue that they wouldnt fit. i had alot of fun calling him up and saying they fitted... :lol:

also, in your other thread you said your old rims are farked, what makes you say it? if its a few dents on the outside edge or somthing, why not get bead locks? a bit more $$ than new rims, but you will get width (half or maybe 1 inch extra), and able to run low pressures. and you could get the centres moved or somthing at the same time?

just a thought...

-25 offset was the max in 15 X 8 when i was looking a few weeks ago. I ended up getting -15 offset which was the max in 15 x 7. You should be payin no more than $75 a rim :wink:
