Im in northside of brisbane!

new sunraysias for my tyres now will cost just under 500

Not sure if its worth going down to a 15inch rim with 31inch tyre for alot less moola!

Yes but the offset is way different and they will probably rub on the front springs when you turn.

Ive owned a 73 series,a 61 series and a 75 series and the best tyre and rim combo Ive had is the ROH heavy duty rims with Bridgestone 245/85/16 LT D694.

16 inch rims give you a wider choice of tyre but the 15in tyres are a bit cheaper.

Is your "death wobbles" from the rims or is it a castor problem?

You'll get good aftermarket rims cheaper than you will buy good used genuine rims.

Good straight splits, are hard to find and fetch a decent price in the right areas.

If ya going to go the sunnies, buy a better brand like dynamic.....a mate of mine baught some cheap sunnies for his patroll, it took em 8 rims to get 4 that were straight..new out of the box.

You can buy sunnies in whatever size, width and offset you like, but be prepared to pay $75 ish for good ones.

If you are going to 15's..look further than the flotation tyres and if you must stay with that series 32's will be closer to the right diameter.

I'd add the Speedie sunraysias as one to avoid as well. Stick to ROH or Dynamic.
