Hi all, have ordered the MTR's in 265/75 R16 but now getting varying info from diff tyre dealers as to what rim width, some saying 7" best and others 8"?????????
help
also with the sunraysia mags are there any particular brands to go for?
waws going to order ROH, as one dealer said were ozzie made, but another said they are all imported.
would love to get an original toyata set but told they were only on 80 seris, only in 8" and bloody hard to find????????????????????
i hope this is the last time i have to annoy you all with this tyre / rim delema.
Thanks
ps dealer i ordered MTR's off had 2 in
shop that were stuffed (down to wire) at 10,000km, a bad blend of
young bloke, rum, turbo cruiser and bitumin lol

7 or 8 is much of a muchance really!
Benefit of the 8 is that you can put a wider tyre on in the future if you wish and as the sidewall is more upright with the 265's it won't have as much
wallow on cornering.
7's will do the job just as
well though and will sit just as good with a 265 tyre... the bulging that you will see (if any) from the 7 will be a bulge going in towards the rim not the other way so staking won't be a problem..
If you are happy with the tyre size and don't think you will be upsizing any time soon I would say go with the rim you like the most.
As far as the Sunraysia (spelling) go the Austalian made ones are a lot more rust resistant than the imports... they don't cost much more but in my opinion are worth the money..
Cheers
