    0 Offset Wheels

    Hi Guys
    Quick one - l run 255/85 16s on Boost alloys.
    They obviously rub on spring hangers.

    Will 0 offset Dynamic Steel wheels resolve this?

    Thanks,
    Mike

    Of course, 53mm further out (ea).

    However, if it is important to you the vehicle will now be unroadworthy.

    Thanks for that.
    Being un-roadworthy is an issue...
    How can l stay legal?

    I run 20mm offsets with 265x7516s they just keep It in the guards . That keeps It legal , and It handles ok on rubbing against the upper spring cups .Jim

    Will the 0 offset push the 255s outside the wheel arch?

    Its been a while since I had std arches with the 255's on 0 offset wheels on my TD5 but I am pretty sure they sat inside.

    I've just had a look back through some old pictures, and they do appear to be just inside the arch.

    My 255's are just under the arch but it's borderline.

    And going from HD 130 rims the tyre is only sitting 20mm further out.

    So they will be legal then?
    Does this offset help with stability at all?

    If I can find a level piece of concrete I'll swing my 1200mm level from the arch past the tyre and take a photo.
