Sweet truck, wit the rims did you have to have the centers drilled out? I would imagine not since it's a 2wd

What size are the rims??? Do you know the offset or can you tell me the back space. Any dramas with clearance???


Cheers, Bob.

forget those wheels, way played out even though they still look ok, try a Nissan Titan 18" wheel. You will have to drill the centers but they are a ball seat style wheel so the lug nuts will center the wheel to the hub.

nah not asking coz i want some. Im in the wrong hemisphere.

I was just wondering what offset, back space the std front end will take. Ive got rims here and i cant tell if they will fit as my draglink is bent. :cry:


I wont be going any bigger than 16's anyway. Its a pickup/ute/truck, it will get used for duties fitting such a vehicle no matter how pretty it looks. lol. Dont want to go any lower than a 60 series tyre, maybe go 55 if i can get say 225 or wider in without clearance trouble.

Cheers, Bob.
