When I first put the 255s onthe 130 I had them on 8" zero offset (Maxxis recommended 7.5" minimum rim width) and they very fully filled the front flares and protruded just a little in the rear, still had the tub on then. Didn't scrub at all though. They're on the 6.5" 130 rims now, work better but a 7" would be ideal.
Thanks like I said I really want a set of these style rims -

as opposed to these more 'commonly seen' rims

MR's have had some on order from the UK for me for some time, but the supplier just isn't coming through. I've been unable to locate them anywhere else. Happy if anyone can help !
Edit: Just found this mob will give them a try. Anyone dealt with them?

7" with what offset ?
You should be able to source dynamic in Oz. The distributor is in Melb. Google them. They won't deal direct to public but if you get your local tyre place to call them they will send them to the tyre place. I went through that transaction 3 weeks ago with the 16x8" for the 130. I bought the round hole dynamic. Preferred them to the D shape and triangle.
Negotiate to pay about $125 a rim for black round hole. I was quoted $140 from another place. They make their money on the rubber.
The alternative is King rim. They make a 7" zero offset too.
if you want to match the 255/85 go 16x7 with zero offset.

Thanks. If they are so easy to get why can't MR source any.... hmm, maybe these ones they get from the UK aren't Dynamics.....
Still who cares if I can get em then I can fit the 255's ! And the ute would look even betterer.
Vlad,
Keep in mind if you want to run wider rubber later on (eg 285/75), you will then need to purchase 8" rims.
I run 285/75R16 on round hole -25mm 16x8 dynamic black steelies.
I have terrafirma wide flares on the front and the tub. I wish I went with flatdogs as all the ones I've seen fit better.
Have you seen these Vlad?

Little bit more expensive. But made in America apparently?
Are the Dynamics correctly load rated to suit a 130?

chewy I prefer steel wheels mate
sam - good question. Never any dramas with them on my previous 130
Sam,
They're rated at 1200kg, just like the kings I had on my old defender. 4800kg > 3500kg (130 GVM) is the equation that simple?
