Surf Rims

[nt_a_foz]

Any of you owned surfs before and know if this offset/size rim will fit my surF??

Got a 1993 LN130 with the torsion front end.

Will a 15 x8 with -19 offset work or not be what im after??

[wrx_lou]

Gonna stick some super swampers on there aye?

If you plan on using the tyres for the hill you will better with an all purpose off road rather than a straight mud.

With either you will need chains if its too icy in any scenario but.....yeah.

Cant wait to see pics of it with 33s!

[nt_a_foz]

Yeah needs new tyres so going to get some all purpose sort of ones instead of straight mud.

Keen for 33's just doing a bit of research if to they fit sweet as etc..

Going to get some 4x4 rims such as desert rats or similar at same time, nice powder coated set on TM hence the offset ?? lol

16x10

pretty much any of the 15" 6 stud rims fit I run AT's all the time and then chain it if i need more grip

my Landcruiser runs 16" alloys and 235/75 16's Goodyear ATR's but I will run Cooper Discoverers AT at next time

[nt_a_foz]

So a -19 offset shouldnt be aproblem ?? even if i was running 33" tyres??

You like those tyres??

Any recommendations on the tyres wanting something with some decent meat suitable for the odd off road excursion but will mostly be used for the road.

[DRFVDR]

have no idea if they will fit with 33" tires on it

how do they compare to the normal size

and Yup I have got about 50,000 k's outta my goodyears and the old man gets about the same out of the coopers

i would not go to large a diametre as it affects your on road handling to much...

[zarnah]

I have a set of goodyear wrangler 31x10.5's AT on my terrano that have been on there for over 70,000ks as my road tyres and they still have another WOF left in them hopefully, pity goodyear are not making them anymore, the new wrangler comes as a MT tyre only, in fact even if I saw a decent second hand set come up for sale I would pounce on them. On my weekend rims I have a set of Maxxis Buckshots in 32x11.5's they are not too bad a tyre for offroad and are not too pricy, dont know how well they would wear with a lot of road driving as I only put them on when going off road, allthough I did drive into chch the other night with them on because I was in a hurry and hadnt changed them, running about 15psi, it would be fair to say it was a bit of a handfull on the motorway haha

[nt_a_foz]

Yeah clint had buckshots on his weekend rims as well and we took them 4wding seemed to be decent.

Basically want a tyre thats not some shitty arse road tyre (those 4wd size tyres that look like a road tread/pattern) lol ..But will have some grunt behind them if needed. Dont want to spend 60000000 dollars a tyre either lol.

Have heard that the Mud tyres wear down really fast if used on the road so might stay away from that.

[zarnah]

oh, and dont know much about the surfs and how much guard clearance they have, but with the 32x11.5's on my terrano and no lift kit, they hit the guards easily with a bit of suspension compression and have even managed to kinda have one grab the flare and rip it off and jam while turning with one side up in the guards haha

You and your softy terrano. Get a real mans 4wd!

[zarnah]

haha, my softy terrano has done over 300kms and she still runs like the day I got her, and being 3l v6 petrol, she eats up all the diesels in the mud and on the highway ;D

But yes, my old man has an old landy that he uses on the farm and it just keeps on going and going, it even has a PTO and hydraulic fittings and pump so can tow around farm implements, run the wood splitter etc

[stira]

I bet he tells you you have a softy terrano as well ;D

My landy not only looks good it also has 3.3l of holden grunt.

[DRFVDR]

Still not even close to my landcruiser though it has 4.2 of toyota diesel grunt
