Thread: 18 inch 3.0 wheels.

Nice wheels look like the ones on my old mans 200 series. Should be load rated fine.

Info:
Note Disco 4 not listed just 2005>

35 pos offset sit out further than 53 of OE and further than 44 for Compomotives. This is the same offset as the standard the KMC Monster rims that someone fitted who lives in Karratha WA with a fin grind of 5mm. Are these offsets legal?

Other way around isn't it Aaron??

If the OE wheels are +53mm offset and the CSA wheels are +35mm, then the CSA wheels sit 18mm INBOARD than the OE wheels (wheel widths being equal)?

no the Compomotives that Landyandy has are Pos 44 and they sit out further than my OE19s that are pos 53, so pos 35 would sit out further again. Less offset means that the mounting plate is closer to the centre line of the wheel, so the tyre face will be sitting further out from the diffs ie wider track....

Thanks. I must have been having a blonde moment (if I had any hair....)
Enough distractions, back to work....

I remember Gordon posting legal offsets and I thought low 40's were the extent of it.

If they fit and sit within the guards does it really matter?
