what offset do you recon they will be ?

what nuts will i need to secure them ?

 

[makeitfit]

Oh they'll be thursday and brazil :lol
Sorry mate the offset should be stamped on the wheel . The nuts will be the same as terrano steel wheels :thumbs

i had to measure my spares as they never had them stamped on them.

Just a thought I'd of gone for a wider rim if your running 31s

For £20 I'm not too fussed that they are'nt 8x10's ... :nenau

 

[makeitfit]

Depends how wide the 31s are , but if 10.5 then they'll fit with a big beer belly :lol Any wider tyres and they'd be a no no

 

[stinka]

a big beer belly :lol

Excellent, they'll match mine then :thumb2

Would you step down a size to 30" then ?

or will they perform sound ?

 

[makeitfit]

Nooo, can't go smaller :doh How WIDE are the tyres going to be ?

 

[stinka]

I want the tallest tyres i can get on a standard lwb, on this 7x15 rim

Not too worryed about width, open to suggestions ... would really like to hunt out an ebay bargain set of tyres, or might just buy new ones fook it

 

[stinka]

So I'm going with 31/10.50 15 cooper stt's on this rim

Will I need a lift to fit these under ?

 

[manora]

I'm really going to show my ignorance now.
I'm familiar with the 185/60R/15H type tyre markings but can somebody explain 31/10.50 15 type marking to me?
I assume 15 is the rim size in inches and 10.5 is the width (?) in inches but what does the 31 bit mean, profile (?) maybe and if so how does it relate to the width and rim size.

[stinka]

31 is the diameter externally in inches

 

[manora]

Thanks, that makes sense of it now.:thumb2

Nope still no lift required
However you may need to trim some of the plastic bumper off near the front wheels and probably remove the cat flaps
Depending on the offset you may get a bit of a rub against the rear tub, if so either get a small spacer or just cut the end of the seat belt bolt off.
It's a bit suck it and see as there's so many variables, for example with or without rear ARB :thumbs

Picked these rims up today, they are off an import surf and the offset is pretty big tbh !!!

standard alloy :

new steely :

a

standard alloy is 2.5" from chassis, this is 4" !!

and 12" to outside from chassis:

and standard wheel nuts will do :

tbh mate, the handling is terrible since i put 'em on

 

[makeitfit]

Have you got a pic of the end of the nuts mate? Just to check you're not going to get speed wobble :sly

they are cone shaped, so they center the cone shaped holes on the wheels

After having a day out with us last week and seeing your new rims i thought you had decided to give up "Green Laning" and start your own club for "Train Lining".
I could just see you heading down the central line blowing your hooter.:lol
