    Offset rims for skinny tyres

    Hey folks,

    I'm after some negative offset rims to run 235/85r16 tyres on for a Disco 1.
    I cant seem to find any rims that are offset that can fit such a skinny tyre. Most rims are only offset for the wider tyres.
    I want to improve my turning circle for tighter tracks our bush when running 235/85's.
    Anyone know of any offset rims for skinny tyres?

    Thanks!

    You should be able to get Zero offset suitable for 235/85’s

    Or maybe flip the centers on a D1 steelies, unsure what offset can be achieved.

    Aren't the factory alloys already a -25mm offset? As i would want more negative offset than them, as i run the alloys at the moment...

    Yep, just looking at the factory Disco rims and they do look like some positive offset.
    It looks like i can get 7" wide rims in a -25mm offset. So if the factory rims are something like +20 or +30mm, then i could possible move the entire tyre 'out' around the 50mm mark. Which would give me some turning circle back
    I'm now not sure where is the best place to buy a set of steel rims from...?

    Thanks!
    I was thinking of just ordering one negative offset rim and getting a 235/85 tyre put on and then see how much clearance it needs...
    I don't want to buy a whole set and they find out that even flares wont provide enough clearance!

    No need to buy a rim, maybe grab a tape measure.

    Assuming you have +33 rim now and you want to see if -25 will fit that means the outside edge of the tyre will sit 58mm more away from its current position.

    I think I have that correct.

    You may need flares and cut guards if you don’t already have, for clearance issues
