Pro-white 8J 16" rims

Looking for 4 or 5 to make black and use with the muddies !!

Why 7J, why not 8J?

If you cna get a set of Cruiser steel rims, they have the perfect offset for the GU.

Try BURQUIP in Jet Park, Johannesburg. They supply all sizes PRO-WHITE rims. If they do not have the off-sett you require in stock, they will have it made. No need to bother with spacers.

I bought a new set of 16" rims for my trailer to match my car rims @ R285 (ex VAT) a piece some 16 months ago.

Excuse the ignorance, but what is the difference between 7J and 8J ?


Thanks JG - just downloaded their APril 2010 price list... not so cheap anymore!!

The 7J rim has a nominal width between flanges (i.e. where the tyre mounts) of 7", while an 8J has a width of, yip, you guessed it 8". Every tyre has an allowable rim width range that is specified by the manufacturer. For instance, the BFG All Terrain T/A KO 265/75R16 can be fitted to rims in the width range 7' to 8" according to the manufacturers spec sheet, while the 285/75R16 version of that tyre needs rims in the range of 7.5" to 9".

The standard 16" diameter rims for the Patrols sold here was 8JJ-16, i.e. 8" wide, 16" diameter. The J and JJ specify different rim profiles. I believe the JJ profile is better at keeping the tyre from debeading at very low pressures.

Dankie Gerrit. Nou verstaan ek dit ook beter. Ek wou net iemand bel om meer hieroor uit te vind toe jou "post" deurtrek.

Quite right about the rim width recommendation of 7.5 -9 , however, i purposefully ran my ran my 285's on 7 j rims with no problems at all to date.
