Hi dungarover
I had 15x8” Sunraysia wheels on a previous RRC but I do not know what the offset was.
Do you know what the offset of yours are as I would like to get my Rostyle wheels widened to 8” but need to know what offset to use.

Regards
Phil

Hi Phil,

Not sure why you want to go 8",,,,,,,,,,, the modded (15 x 7") Rostyles on my pos have 31 x 10.5 tyres which fit neatly in the guards without needing flares.

Me too, 31x10.5 on 7" Gotti's, standard guards - they are a good fit.

If Ritter's had them made - probably done by Eastern Wheel Works - they still make them but not cheap. They do good work though.

Nice unit............... great colour! Red is crap.

!5" rims? not 16's?

Dunno who made the ones I have, would have cost a fortune to weld chromed rims onto steel centres. I didn't realise they were chrome till I picked them up, was going to get them galvanised.

cheers, DL

Thanks, but the red looks good too. Yes 15x7"s, I like the proportions - Had them for years, previously on my D1. I did push out the bottom of the rear guards with a new bracket though to prevent rubbing.

Hi 350RRC
I’m just trying to “fill out the guards” to try and give that modern look that the current Range Rovers have.
