Some have you saw my other post about taking my 240 mudding, but if you haven't seen it then here is what i have done so far... 3" Suspension lift, removed front bumper and fenders, and cut an additional 2 1/4" out of the rear fenders. I am in the process of grinding down the sharp edges and will fiberglass in the gap left between the wheel well and outer fenders. I really, really, really, want to put either 31" or 32" Super Swamper TSL's in the rear. I have looked on the Intercotire.com website and found out the actual dimensions of the tire, and found n exact match at work. I mounted it on my wheels and it rubs against the rear springs in the rear, and won't even come close in the front because the lower spring perch stick out so far.

So That is why I need the most negative offset wheels that are for sale. I do not want to spend more than $100 a wheel and i do not care if it is the most god awfully ugly rim in the world, because it will be covered in mud 99% of it's life.

Here is what someone on the boards has found so far...

Seems like a very good deal, but I am not positive about the bolt pattern...I thought we had 4 x 114.5, not 4 x 114.3 Like the website says it has. Do you all think this will move the tire out far enough to clear everything?


start posting.

4.5" = 114.3mm

There's no such thing as a 114.5mm bolt pattern, but if there was, it would still fit most 4.5"/114.3mm wheels. You can fit 5x120mm BMW wheels on a 5x120.65mm Corvette, or 5x4" (101.2mm) old school Mopar wheels on a modern 5x100mm Mopar.

you have to remember that theres 2 schools of thought on offset. some people see negative as what most people see as positive, and positive as negative.

Yes that is so true.

you could always just flip the wheel the other way around, so that the face of the wheel is up against the brake rotors ;)
