They're pretty cool. I'm after something with a bit more dish but as I'm running Conti AT's I might not be able to. I'd like a set of muddies but the noise/drive isn't worth it.

My tyres are 235/85R16. What size are your conti’s?

Tyres are standard as it came from the dealer. I'd have to check but the 235/85R16 sounds about right.

Perfect on wolf rims.

Mind telling me what the wheels are on the vehicle.

I have a set of Sawtooth's and am thinking of swapping out for a set of black steel wheels (Sunraysia's etc).

Cheers,

Hey Andrew,

They're just dynamic round hole - 16x8 -25 offset. I think you can get a -13 or even 0 offset if you need something that doesn't stick out as much.

Have 285 75 16s on them and they stick out a little too much to be what I'd call officer friendly but haven't had any issues yet. You can see the poke somewhat in the pic. Have some extended arches at the ready just in case!

Cheers

Made up a padded top for the cubby box. I'll probably pull it off again and get the corners stitched up to make it look like, "a flash one hey"

Thanks Gus. They look good. The lesser offset would be good. I want to fill in the arches but not attract the Rozzers. Are they from the same manufactures as Sunraysia's?

Yeah mate. Dynamic is the brand (think you can get similar from King also though and maybe one other). Any decent tire shop should be able to order them in.

Probably want 0 offset then. From memory stocks are slight positive so that will push the wheels out. Better yet if you go a slightly wider tyre.
