Who even makes a 10" wheel for a Rover?   eric johnson (Eric2) Member Username: Eric2 Post Number: 200 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 01:09 am:    Some company in Iceland has 38's and 44's tires on Disco's. Then they drive around on the glaciers. www.icelandrovers.s I doubt they do the mod's themselves, but they can prolly tell you who did. If a bunch of former Vikings on an isolated island can do it...   eric johnson (Eric2) Member Username: Eric2 Post Number: 202 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 01:14 am:    Oops, they are on Defenders. Get out the sawzall. Or go to the POR site.   Mike Shoemaker (Shoe) New Member Username: Shoe Post Number: 30 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 01:27 am:    I run a 15x8 "street lock" with 33 MTR's on my 96 disco with a 6" lift and still rub. The offset is like 3.5" the wheels look great go for it. I got mine @ Trekoutfitters. What it sounds like you need is a different offset for a better/wider stance, unless your needs are for fast street driving, stick with the 8" Hope this helps.

It's one thing to try and pass off fake beadlocks as the real deal, but to ask for fakes? 10" wide fake beadlocks? ROFLMAO. Keep the wide tires on the quads.   Nadim Samara (Discodino) Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 176 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 06:17 am:    I am currently running 15x8 rims on 35x10.5 Simex and will be upgrading to 15x10 rims on 36x12.5 SXs. As lond as the distance from the flange to the inner rim is less than 4" you're good to go.   david bullard (Quadcustoms) New Member Username: Quadcustoms Post Number: 4 Registered: 01-2004 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 07:24 am:    sounds like 15x8 is going to be my best bet is there an off set that i am least likely to rub,thanks david   Mike Shoemaker (Shoe) New Member Username: Shoe Post Number: 31 Registered: 05-2003 Posted on Tuesday, January 06, 2004 - 11:54 pm:    I went with a 3.75 offset. This should work for you. Shoe
