Thread: Steel Rims on a PUMA - What styles are out there?

Round hole 16 inch Sunrasia by dynamic are -25. There is a round hole 15 inch wheel that is 0. All the zero offset 16s are triangles. Best combo is probably a d hole by dynamic 16x7 that is +20. Perfect to run, 235, 255 and 265 on normal flares and not chucking mess up the side of the car. You don't want 285s over 255s and unless you want to go to 35s I really don't see why go any wider offset than +20.... you could always get 30mm spacers for your alloys taking them to +3? But you will have a forever dirty truck. I been through all this and wolf with +20 with 255 is the pick for looks and performance. But the d hole dynamic is a 7inch steel wheel and about half the price and can fit more tyres than a wolf. I'm getting some of these as spares/ run all terrains. 255s only come in muds.

One of the other reasons I was thinking of going with a Zero offset is to clear the bung on my Inner Guard Tank when the wheel travels upwards. As is I reckon if I went for any taller tyre, that under full upwards travel that there is a good chance that the tyre would catch on the protruding bung that is designed with these inner guard tanks. I could remove the tank and have this removed but that is a last resort.

The 255 is my ideal size but brands and types are limited whereas the 285's are more readily available if needed in remote areas...

A shame about no round hole 16'" rims as I think they look better...

That makes sense, you can get some round hole, 7inch rims with 0 offset from UK. I priced it up I think would have cost around 800 for a set sent here.

If you haven't already used this calculator it's worth a look to see if will catch your fuel tank:

Wheel Offset Calculator

There a few more makes of the 255 now, toyo, dick cepec and Yokohama. And If you want an all terrain in a 33 skinny, there is the 225 95 16.

Good luck with it dude!

Forget the spacers as they are illegal in Old.

I will try to find out what the ones in the pic are but I think last time I looked I couldn't find anything written on them.

Yeah I saw that Bearmach had some of the round holes ones on their website but the shipping costs would make it too costly and I'd be better off looking at a Alloy rim...

With a Zero offset 7inch rim, it would also suit a wide range of different tyre sizes without having to change rims again. I'm not sure as I haven't checked for a while but with a 7inch rim, u can go from a 225/95 right through to a max size of 285/75 (I think 7.5 is the minimum recommended width rim for a 285 but a 7" will also work)

I reckon the ones in the pic are these:

15X8 5/165.1 Wheels | Bob Jane T-Marts | Best Brands & Lowest Prices

But they are a 15' wheel. But 32s and 33s would work well, neg25 though so would need new arches...

They are Pro Comp,16X8.0.Made in USA.
Probably 97 series from memory.
Tyres are 255/85/16.

Nothing about off set written in them, but the tyres just stick out past the flares, so won't pass a roadworthy.
The fronts are fine due to the side rail, its the rears that are the issue.

Anyway,the vehicle will be sold soon, so now has the stock rims on it, if the steel wheels don't also go to the future purchaser, they will be sold separately.

Didn't realise that was your actual wheels Scary!

I had 255s on wolfs and 30mm spacers on for a very short period of time.. needless to say, no good! Stance looked tough though haha (Only did so, because I had to quickly put on wolfs and muddies for a photo shoot for an advertisement campaign one weekend. Watch closely next spirit of tas adds when they come through, if they do)

Anyway, outside of tyre caught the standard flares on back with the slightest of articulation. Now, that would equate offset, to +33 -30 -(33-20)= ET-10. On a 6.5inch rim, so, I'm wondering if 255s, or worse 285s on an ET0 8inch rim, would also be problematic on full articulation? Considering an 8inch rim is 37.5mm wider than a 6.3 inch wolf, so therefore half that, or 18.75mm has to be sitting outward, closer to the flare doesn't it? Making it worse than the example i gave above, worse again with a 285.

On a side note, boosts with 265s need 30mm spacers so as not to rub and when fitted, is a sweet set up - but yes technically illegal.

I know people with 130s have no issues, with 285s on ET0 but then they don't have flares on the back..

So long story short, might clear OP's fuel tank issue on inside, but i reckon from experience, will catch the edge of rear flare even with a 255 on a 110 wagon.

Which kind of defies point of getting the wider offset if it is done so to fit a range of tyre sizes - because those extra sizes are not practically usable. In reality you would probably be left with 265s or 235s as 285s and 255s are going to create issues with standard flares.

Considering ET0 rims seem to only be available are 8 inch rims you are back to where you started. Unless you fit those wider flares. But really simply, don't do that.

If you want a taller tyre, it has to be 255s I reckon. If you want a wider tyre, it is 265s. Both those work perfectly on ET20 (wolf or dynamic dhole) If you want a tall and wide tyre it is wider flares and that means changing the look of the car and drilling into your bodywork. And that is impossible to undo. Trust me!
