Default Crager rims

Hi,

Thinking of getting a set of crager soft 8 rims, 16x7. Are these a good rim and can i get a set of 33's on them? (285/75/R16) Are they wider enough?

Should i go for 17x8 ??? What will fit inside the standard guards


Thanks

You'll need 16x8 or 17x8 for the 285's.

16's will be cheaper than 17s

definately dont go a 7 inch wide rim as this will really limit your options if you ever want to go a wider tyre at some stage. I would recommend a minimum of 8 inchs.
What BS are you looking at?
