Hi all.

Fed up of seeing my big wheels stacked up in the garden but before I fit them I need new rims for them.

I have two sets, one for pay and play and the other for green laning and road use.

First up are my 35x10.5x16 simex's. Extreme mud tyres.
These are currently on Wolf wheels and they catch on the bodywork and radius arms very easily so need to push them out a bit.
Not a fan of spacers so thinking a set of these would work:

Or these:

Am I right in thinking 8" wide is right for that size tyre?
Like the idea of adding bead locks in the future, would they fit?

Then the "daily" tyres are 33x12.5x15 Kuhmo's.
And for them I'm thinking these:

With all of these sets I'm looking at the -32/35 et as I want to push the wheels out as far away from the chassis as I can to aid with clearance.
Will be adding 75mm extended arches to help cover the wheels but just looking for a second opinion that the above rims will be a good choice for what I'm trying to achieve.

My disco is a commercial so fortunately got a lot of room at the back to tub the arches if needs be :)

Cheers Chris

They look spot on to me and better than adding spacers I think.

I run narrower tyres on similar modulars and have nothing but praise for the wheels. I like the look of Challengers though, and a couple of people I know with them haven't had any problems ... so far!!

;)
 
Thanks for the info Paul.
Yes I agree, always loved the look of the challenger type wheel but in the past only been super expensive.
But these new steel versions certainly look the part. Plus I'm hoping the offset will give me most of my steering lock back.

I have the above -35 offset modular on mine, and they do the job well, and look good too - I think I prefer the modular to the alloy of the modded disco

265/75/16 Mud Terrains - steering lock is excellent - no rubbing and the bump stops are wound right in ;)
 
Well as it's payday and I'm bored on a night shift I thought I would go ahead and finally treat the truck to some new rims.

But of course as is my luck the 15x10 modualrs above I wanted are listed as no longer available on the website and searching Google I can't find anyone selling them.

Anyone got any suggestions on where I might be able to find a set of the 10x15 et-32 modulars?
Really hope I haven't missed the boat on these
