what rims to get

Post by zookfest »

i recently got some 44x19.5x15 tyres and need to sort rims for them,the tire says rim size 15x12 but alot of people rekon go for at least a 14'' wide rim-get some 15x 10s and get them widend

im also wanting them full turned so i can get as much of the tire out of under the gaurd,yes i know i will chew out wheel bearings and kingpins doing this but i think its the only way otherwise when i turn the tire will come in and chew the gaurd and hit the springs shocks

and im thinking of using nissan safari steel rims as they are far thicker than roh etc

looking for opinions from you guys as i want to do this once and do it right,any tyre experts on here :?:

You should get them onto 10's ok with spacers or a centre flip but you might want to talk to Jafa or Rok about the stress you'll be putting on your steering arms and swivel housings coz they rip out pretty easy with that sort of leverage :oops: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
