!0' off set wheels ???

[barmiebrumie]

Hi All,
        I have 33''/12.5x15's on my truck & pretty sure the wheel's are 8' wide, but now want to put some wider wheels on ie:- 10' wide with an off set, What would I need to ask for ? & any clue as to where the best place is to get them ?, looking for modulers or gayspokes  


Thanks in advance.

PS they are on a disco 1 with the bodywork cut away & will be fitting a set of arch's before the widder wheels go on

nene valley should be able to sort ya out. You dont need to go to 10inch rims i have 35,12.5's on 8' s with a 4 inch offset....but i do have the turning circle of the torre canyon!

To work out your current wheels offset/inset you need a flat floor 2 straight edges and a tape measure or rule.

Put the wheel and tyre face down on the floor. You need a long straight egde that will goo right across the tyre and a shorter one that will sit across just the wheel. Measure the following.

A - Complete width of the tyre from the long straight edge to the floor.

B - Distance of the upper most wheel edge to the floor

C - distance from the upper most wheel edge to the mounting face.

The formula is then    =     (2B-A)/2 - C


A negative value is an inset a positive value is "outset".



To explain a little.

(2B-A) = the total width of the wheel including the rim etc. Not the acual stated width of the wheel.

C is measured from rim to mounting face so removes the rim proportion from the (2B-A)
