Offset wheel debate was created by HiJim
Hi guys,

Just finishing up my jimnybits 3" lift kit and am about to fit some 235/75/15 mud tyres on some steel wheels. Now before I buy the steel wheels I was wondering what offset to go for? I would like it right up to buy not past the fenders, which are just standard, inwad thinking 15x7 with a ? Offset.

Thanks in advance!

Same here mate! Have only two options locally: 15x8" -13 and 15x8" -25

Sandez worked that out with 15x7 -13 and claims is roughly the limit without rubbing the rear

Think gonna mount then first on my standard 5 spoke alloys (15x5.5" -?) to see how it goes...

Just waiting for some bits to arrive so i can finish the 3' lift!

Thanks
