15" rims/mags on a 4.5 GU

Post by SJC »

I am considering getting 15" wheels to fit onto my 4500GRX.
But I am unsure which size and offset would be the best options, without having to use spacers.
Want to fit 33x12.5r15 mud terrains on them.
I see that the recommended rim width for this size tyre is 8.5-11j.
Would a 8j rim be wide enough? Or would it better to get 10j?

From what i read on some of the aussie forums, it seems that the correct offset would be:
1. -19 on 8j rim
2. -44 on 10j rim

Can the guys using 15" wheels on their Patrols please comment on what type of rims/mags they are using? (width/offset).
If I can fit 15" wheels without having to worry about spacers then it would suite me perfect. :thumbup:

Wilkie sin het bietjie ver uit gestan, dink agv spacers of offset? Sal verkies as dit nie so ver uit steek nie.
Reenen, is dit op n 4.5 of 4.8 wat jy die calipers moes grind?

Wilkie het die 15" aan my verkoop juis omdat die mags die kalipers geraak het..........., hy het nog die stel mags ek het net die bande gekoop.

As ek reg is sal jy 16" moet gaan op die 4.5, anders is spacers en kalipers grind jou voorland.

Soos ek verstaan is dit net op die 4.8 wat die kalipers te groot is. Met korrekte offset op die rims sal spacers nie nodig wees nie.
Ek vermoed(spekuleur) dat wilkie se rims 00 of -10 offset het... daarom het hy 30mm spacers nodig gehad. Errol?

Praat met ChristoSlang, hy het 33" x 12.5" x15" op sy 4.5.

Sommige rims clear, ander nie.

Errols tyres told me that the only 15" rims they got that would fit a Patrol are these:

Only set they got that got the correct centre bore off 110mm.
