another question on wheels

hi guys.
im trying to work out the best kind of wheel to go for im after a 16 inch wheel with a 32/33inch tyre and i will be swaping the rear drums to discs. so my question is what modular offset do i want and what width rim?

Cheers
Tom

id go for Grand Vitara rims, they fit the jimny well and they come standard with 235/60/16 tyres on. They are more off-set aswell. I've seen many jimnys with these fitted with large tyres.

cheers have spoken to a few people and this is what im looking for i ordered them off of rhino ray at 35 quid each but the downside is they cost 12 each for postage but for a set of 5 still only works out 235 quid with postage.

roll on the the new shoes!!!!

I have 16" GV rims, with 205/75 Diamond Backs fitted ...

Same here, GV rims with 205/16 Diamonds, but we both have 32mm wheel spacers otherwise they rub.

sorry guys forgot to add that i have done a 4.5inch suspension lift and 2 inch body lift. and was most likely looking at 265/75/16s to fit to it

Probably need a 6:1 rocklobster transfer box too then, otherwise your gearing will be way out.

If your after tyres that wide you may be best sticking with 15 " rims as they can be bought in most widths - 7" GV rims are about it in 16", aftermarket rims in 16" for a suzuki are rare.

already on order from rob storr, i'm getting a special track type pattern and cant get the right size in a 15inch, having spoken to rhino ray he said that the deep dish grand vitara would be alright. they should be turning up soon so i'll post up how i get on.

if you have problems with the GV ones not being wide enough you can get spacer/converters to allow you to fit landrover fitment wheels

the wheels i have on order are 16x8 with roughly a -32 offset

Theyre not GV rims then? or are they Rhino Rays banded wheels.... where he cuts them in half and adds a bit extra in.... I have to say that I think 265's are a bit big for a jimny IMO. I have a Rob Storr 6:1 and currently run 205/16's on GV rims and its undergeared, so I'm getting 7.50/16's, 235/85/16 would be similar but a little wider and what my car used to run before i changed the shell - didnt fancy cutting the arches out on this shell so tried 205/16's.

As i will be planning on bead lockers as well. i will be running low pressures in the tyres so the 32" running at a low pressure will be about 31" The difference between a 235/85 works out at roughly 31.5 where as a 265/75 works out at about 32.9 bring the tyre to roughly the size i want at low pressure.

Also i need the truck to be quite wide as in total i have lifted it 6.5 inchs so to bring the C of G back down i want to build it out. the ORA truck (not the tray back) ran 33's with out arch mods and a 3inch spring lift and 3 inch body lift
