    Pro Comp - Australia - Series 87

    I've ruled -25mm offset out as being to much for the 32's (seem to be required for 33's) and am tossing up between the +6mm and -6mm offset. This would give 54mm and 78mm increase in track with the rims alone.

    I've seen Telf RRC has 0mm offset (bang between what I'm looking at) and that seems to work pretty well. I'm not sure if I should be going more or less (24mm isn't much in the scheme of things I guess).

    I have flexi flares to go on so not fussed about rubbing and I'm aware the max legal increase in track is 50mm. Also getting a fesh set of bearings and brakes prior to the new wheels so they should be up to it as well.

    Anybody got any thoughts on which way to go? Of course the other option is the 16x7's with +12mm offset which would give an extra 42mm of track but I'm not sure if this would give me full lock back with the steering.

    Cheers

    I have a set of 16x7 +10 offset which would suit what you want. They are the king steel jobbies. Yours for $50 a rim. I have five And I am in Perth

    Why do I not check my threads each day I've already ordered a set of 5 through Ken at BJT.

    Cheers for the offer though

    These rims will be fine with no flares at the +10 offset, and suit the 265s perfectly

    Shame I missed this thread

    I've got a set of Pro Comp 87s 16x7's with +12mm offset on my d1
    with a lift of 25mm I get rubbing at the top and front of the rear wheel arches with 245/75 nothing a rubber mallet couldn't fix tho

    you can see how much it tucks in here



    More than welcome to come borrow my spare and jack it up somewhere to see if it hits

    The 0 offset 7" wide rims fit quite nicely. It looks to be the perfect fit with 265/75's and flexi flares. I was going to try out Telf's wheels but got too excited to wait after talking to Ken on the phone with the prices he could do.

    From today's run I wouldn't go any bigger tyre without a body lift, but there's still room for some more flex or a slightly bigger tyre in the front. The rear is borderline rubbing with the 2" flexy springs I got from suspension stuff and the rear sway bar removed.

    Man I miss that car





    And this is how they were made to fit
