Same rims as mine. You wont be dissapointed in the claws (unless you stake one in the sidewall). They have a forward traction on rock that is noticable and works well at low speeds.

Only downside is they do vibrate and hum onroad at low speeds, you can even feel the lungs at times

I'm assuming with an awfully generous amount of persuasion and several kind words

In the end somethings got to give if you use enough force

sorry meant 15x8's

all came down to price unfortunately... had been quoted on some 35" silverstone 117 sports at 240 but turns out they were only available in bias in australia and not the radials available overseas... so had to upgrade to the claws... at 360 for the 15" of 410 for the 16"... oh and the rims are half the price in 15's.

But on the plus side am now on claws which i've wanted for about 4 years

I was going to ask of pictures of them being fitted, but now it sounds like it won't be half as much fun

I saw a photo of dullbirds disco with 17 inch tyres mounted on 16 inch rims......


I dont know what all this back spacing stuff is, but i'm running 35x12.5s on 15x10 rims. I got the bloke who made them to mount the center 7 inches from the outside of the rim and 3 inches from the inside. Does this mean i hae 7 inches backspacing or +, - 50mm?

What ever it is, i have not lost any turning circle, and the tyres dont go near the front lower arms on full lock. I had to extend the wheel arches out 3 inches to keep the boys in blue happy. (also i am running a 4" lift).
