Default rim size for narrow track
currently running 15\7" with -12 offset and 3.75" backspace with 33\12.5 tyres(or should i say balloons)......not happy with turning circle being a narrow track so would like to go to 15\10"rim with 35\12.5 tyres ...most come with -38 offset would this be enough? ....backspacing will go to 4" plus the larger diametre how would this setup be??

Hi i run 15x10's with a 4" back spacing on mine with 33's and have no drama but to run 35 i will have to wind the stopper bolts out a touch hence less off a turning circle i trided my 33's on my standard rims
and they rubed on the front spring but using the 10"rim makes the tyre into a squarer profile insted of a hudge balloon I was also told that running a 10" rim will chew wheelbearings out quickly but my rims have been on two cj's and have never had any wheel bearing probs at all
hope this helps
