Hi all. Apologies for another wheel/rim question, but I haven't been able to find the answer to mine yet. I have a 1990 HZJ75 pick up, which is currently running on 15" x 7" rims with 33/12.50 R15 mud tyres. This is not an ideal set up! I can't load a photo of it here at the moment for some reason, but you can see it on my other thread (HZJ75 Overland Build).
I believe the OEM rim for this truck was a 15 x 7 with 13mm negative offset. My current rims have about a 20mm negative offset, so may not be the originals (although I thought they were).
Anyway, I've been considering switching to 16 x 8 inch rims to give me a greater selection of tyres for my overland trip (most likely to be 285/75 16s). The only 16 x 8 steel rims that I can find in the UK have a zero offset (as is standard for eg the 80 series I think).
So my question is, does anyone know whether a 16 x 8 rim with zero offset fitted with a 285/75 16 (which roughly equates to 33/11.2 R16) will fit without modification?? There's plenty of room around the wheel arches at the moment, but I'm not sure about clearance around the calipers etc.
Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks!
