Thread: Running 265/75 r16s on 16x7 dynamic steels

That combination should be sweet

265 is the widest you can go on 7" rims AFAIK

If your going to buy the wheels, why not get wider ones - I'd have recommended 8" wide. Les Richmond Automotive sell a fair variety.

Good question. Issue with 8"rims is that combined with 30mm offset and 265 tires is that the tires protrude beyond wheel arches. I'd have to fit a flare kit which is an extra bit of work and $.

Forgot to add that the procomp wheels that the LRA sell have +6mm or +12mm offset which actually increases the track width 48mm and 36mm respectively beyond what the dynamic +30mm offset. So my understanding is that this makes the tires protrude even further, definitely requiring flare work.

Andrew down at HiLine4WD in Traralgon should be able to help out Dynamic rims too.....he ran the 8x16 on his D2 and had to put the flares on.....I reckon the 7's would be good if not wanting to go that way

Dynamic do 16x8 rims and I would definetely go that way.

Also, a 16x8 +30mm offset will be the same overall tyre / track width as a 16x7 +30mm with the same tyre.

Offset is measured from the wheel centre, meaning the centre of your tyres tread is going to be in the same location on a 7 or 8 inch wide rim.

CJT, I'm in your camp regarding the 8". Problem is a 8" rim with a

Damn the small size of iPhone screens - premature Send. I was saying CJT that I'd prefer 8" over 7" but the extra distance between the centerline of the rim and the edge of the tire causes the tire to protrude beyond the flares. I really don't want to do additional work on the flares.
