Wheel and Tire Questions

Post by str8gooods »

I am looking to get a new set of rims and m/t tires. My issue apart from the bolt pattern and bore, is selecting the right offset. I have some pictures of one of my stock rim. If I am reading the stamping correctly does the 0 mean 0 offset? My tire guy had a hard enough time finding wheels with right bolt and bore but managed to find a set. They are a -10mm offset. My understanding would be that that would push the rims out by 1cm which seems fine to me. I tried to measure the stock rim width and seems like 8.5 or so. Does anyone know the exact specs of these wheels. I'm looking at a set of 15x10.5 rims with 32/11.5/15 Cooper Discoverer STT or BF Mud Terrain T-A KM2. Are 32s the biggest that will fit on stock height withe the winter package.
Let me know if I'm steering in the right direction. Any help would be great, Thanks.

That 0 probably does mean 0 offset, but I find it a little odd that a stock mitsu rim is 0, whenever i have looked at any original rims there has always been some positive offset. My mitsi rims are all stamped on the back with the width, weird those aren't, but shouldnt be too hard to measure both values.

-10 will push it out 1cm, but so does any extra rim width.

Hey V;

I just put the 31" BFG Mud terrains on my rig if you want me to show you what I have and see how the rig "looks". Let me know if you are still working in Oakville and I can maybe swing by.

If you have the 2.8 or 'winter package' you can fit upto 33x10.5x15 on stock rims with no rub. I run 33x12.5x15 camping and wheeling, all stock, tbars tightened, but not cranked.
