Guys I'm hopeless with correct offsets and fitment with our beasts. Currently running E5 oz rims but these came up and keen to grab them if anyone can kindly give me a definate yay or nay.
Cheers!
 
they have different size tyres which you shouldnt run. also are the rim widths the same?

I dont see a width or offset?
 
Yeah I rushed into this topic....still chasing up width and offset, It's not in the ad but I've messaged the guy. Don't think they're staggered, obviously nay if so.
Provided the width and offset is suitable (i can go up to 9" with around a 30-35 offset as mine is stock ride height) the only obsticle will be weather they fit over the hub.... I'be had that prob with some r32 gtr rims I bought and 'tried' to fit :/
 
What Dougmo said.
Don't run different tyre sizes on a 4WD. It'll ruin your transfergear or rear differential.

Stock offset of the RVR is +46. It's recommended not to deviate too much from that.
But wheels with 46 offset are hard to find. Many therefore go with evo wheels that are 38 offset, which is slightly over the edge of recommendation.
The more you deviate from the stock offset, the more you increase wear on bearings etc.
If you go wider the offset should not change. The width of the wheel increases to both sides. Therefore the offset should stay the same.
If you have the stock 6J wheels or in my case 8J 3000GT wheels. The ideal offset still is +46.
 
Good points dude ^^
I've seen some pretty aggressive offset/width run on these and other cars though...how do they go regarding bore weakness etc?
I was told by a forum guru here that these can indeed run a wider rear rim provided the tyre size is appropriate....I like you always thought awd + different rim width = bad.
It's all too confusing lol I'd just love these rims to fit as they are a good size/style and would suit my black hsg well
 
You can run wider rims, but you must run the same overall diameter tyre, as a rough guide, 205-50-16 front with a 225-50-16. That's a rough guide, you'll have to check tyre manufacturers guide to see if they are the same for that manufacturer.

I am currently running 17x7.5 +35 all round, I also have a set of 17x8 +36.5 from BF XR8, they sat right on the edge of the front guard, like dead on.
