interchangeable rims

Hey guys,

I have searched around and came across quite a few of stck rims from other models/makes but hadnt really seen what I have been curious about. Has anyone experimented with 5 x 114.3 rims from jeeps or dodge trucks. I have saw some of the wrangler bullet hole rims on some older model sylvias/ 240 and they looked pretty tight. I like the wide d-hole rims Ive seen from dodge and ford with same lug pattern as well. All the rims I have taken an interest in have same lug pattern and a slightly larger center bore. Most are a bit wider than the stock SVX rim. Some are 15", some 16", and some larger. Im not 100% certain on the offset values tho. Any thoughts on trying these out? Are there any other measurements I should look into before grabbing a set to try?

Offset is very important, it needs to be high. No 15 inch rims will fit.

Re: interchangeable rims

cool deal, appreciate the link. How efficient are center bore adaptors for rims with a larger center bore? Ive actually never used them.

Re: interchangeable rims

Hubcentric rings work very well, cheap too. I'm using 6 sets on my fleet of cars.

Re: interchangeable rims

The biggest thing with the high offset is the fenders, Lower offset can rub, some people have rolled the fenders and gone no problem, but if its too much the tire/rim will actually stick out past the edge of the fender.
