I want to put 30" tires on 15x7.5 Rims with the usual offset of 3.5-3.75"
With this combo am I going to have to trim the wheel wells? I would rather not trim if I can get away with not doing it but I don't want the tires to rub either. I would consider staying with a smaller tire if I have to trim, anyone have much experience at doing the trimming?
Thanks

Re: Another Wheel and Rim question
30x9.5 fit really well, the only way they would rub is if the suspension is sagging like most Delicas you see after 15 years. Of course a slight crank of the torsion bars to level out the front end will help. With the torsion bar crank and 30's you shouldn't need to cut anything at all.

Re: Another Wheel and Rim question
As Ronin said, 30" fit fine but your offset might be a problem. Given it's a 7" wide with 3.5 or 3.75" you might rub a bit, especially if your torsion bars aren't cranked all the way up. Never seen 30x9.5", if Ronin said they fit well than I might be off the tracks???

They'll fit no problem.
No 'may' get some rub on the fronts at full articulation on a turn but other than that it's fine.
