CDNBullrid Posted August 7, 2007 Author Share Posted August 7, 2007 i know there are even more selection than this. i just got these from the local wheel shop and this is what he sent me from my request of 16x8 rims. another question may be, what size of rim should i get??

csutke Posted August 7, 2007 Share Posted August 7, 2007 well dont let me talk you out of you 16" rims but like i said in the previous post you'll have a lot more tire choice with a 15" rim. I would suggest a 15x8, but as for back spacing couldnt tell ya, thats a personal pref. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nissandoms47 Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 There are pleanty of tire choices for a 16" wheel. I've been thinking of getting the 4th one for awhile now. So i'd suggest the 4th one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projekz Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 (edited) I just saw some really sweet rims...They're Konig Countersteer. Can't find anything on the Konig website about them. The only thing I'm worried about is the backspacing of 4.5". Any of you know if those 16x8 will clear with that backspacing and a 0 offset? Here's the link to themKonig Countersteer here's another one ---my favorite but much more expensive Edited August 8, 2007 by projekz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02silverpathy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 (edited) Yaay for the Volk/Rays ! You can find them very cheap (compared to other sites) on eBay! .....Those konig's are very hott! Any specs on their weight? I loved my other set of Konigs, pretty durable wheel brand. Edited August 9, 2007 by 98silverpathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pezzy Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 Out of those choices -- I like 2 & 3 best... but I like really simple wheels. Mine are ugly & I like em! see on rear carrier: btw, you're likely safer going with 16's as yours is a 99.5+ -- our calipers are bigger than the older R50's, and some 15's may not fit, or will be very tight.

CDNBullrid Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 last question, will 4.25 offset work when putting larger tires on?? will it still clear the strut?? i know that 4s will work but dont know forsure that 4.25s will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucatiDom Posted August 16, 2007 Share Posted August 16, 2007 I am using this wheel in a 15x8 with 4" backspacing. Simulated beadlock(mine is silver). ION170. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNBullrid Posted August 16, 2007 Author Share Posted August 16, 2007 I am using this wheel in a 15x8 with 4" backspacing. Simulated beadlock(mine is silver). ION170. how much space do have on the inside of the front tires between the struts?? is there room to go 1/4 inch closer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DucatiDom Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Don't know off hand how much space is there. I rubbed in the usual places with 31's, some trimming took care of that. I'll have a look when it gets light out, but I can't say for sure that under flex things won't rub differently with the extra 1/4" than mine does now.

DucatiDom Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 Okay, looked at it with wheel at full lock, about 1&1/2" to 2" of clearance from the spring perch. Like I said earlier though, full flex may change things, I haven't hit full flex and lock with these on the truck yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDNBullrid Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 okay, i wont ever really get full flex. thanks for all the info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
