I currently have 15inch by 6inch wheels, but am looking for something in 15x7 or 15x8. I don't have much experience/knowledge in Backspace or Offset.
What wheels do you have on your rigs?
(I have yet to do a suspension upgrade, maybe I should do that before changing the wheels?)
New Wheel recommendations needed!

Hi Simon,
Welcome to the forum.
For me the 30x9.5R15 (245/75/15) works best. I had a set of BF A/T's on my bakkie.
I recently changed to 31x10.5R15 (265/70/15)Highway tread, and, although people said they are not supposed to catch on full turn lock, mine does.
However, the 31" does look better on the bakkie. I guess a set of 15-20mm wheel spacers will sort out the catching issue.
Hope this helps.

You should be OK with an 8J rim (15").
When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!

Re: New Wheel recommendations needed!
I had 15x8 rims and 33 inch Maxxis buckshot mud tyres on my LN106. The hub and axle spacing is pretty much identical to the N65, but that was with a 6 inch suspension lift
I used to know everything. Now I know nothing
