Rude Awakening On Rims Today!

[BrooseDaMoose]

Yes, you did and yes, I do. I just forgot you posted it! I've looked at so many different rims and specs over the past several days I just forgot! Sorry man!

 

[ridered74]

Thanks for the suggestions! They both have some good looking wheel but nothing that I'm looking for. I put in my vehicle info at TSW and it came back saying they didn't have anything to fit it. But obviously they do because @ridered74 has some. The one rim I thought was ok at Aodhan only comes in a 19". I feel like I'm being forced into buying rims from Tire Rack! LOL!

I should have mentioned, not a direct fit, hubcentric rings were required. A lot of mustang wheels will fit with rings, just make sure you check the load rating of the wheels so they are stout enough to support our heavy girls.

I would prefer to have wheels that fit without rings. Just having a hard time finding some that I like and don't require taking out a reverse mortgage!

Hub rings are perfectly fine to use, as long as they’re not too big.

@BrooseDaMoose, I'd pass on the rings given the choice too. A wheel that fits your vehicle from the get-go is the way to go.

Centering rings exist so that wheels have a more universal application (hub or lug centric), and for no other reason.

They are another component that adds to the potential of stacking tolerances. While the rings work most of the time, I've seen many wheel adjustments (read as: refunds/replacements) while in the automotive business due to the inability to provide an acceptable ride.

Mine is a +25 offset on a 10.5" wheel with 285 tires. I'm going to run 305's next time around and I think I'll be fine.

No way that’s +25 on a 10.5 wheel. Post the wheel model.

Agreed, it looks a lot more inset.

Right. This is +30 10.5 so +25 would be 5mm further out.

These are Verde Incise wheels. I still have the boxes for these in my shop. I need to check them. I thought they said +25. So these are probably +35? Verde does a +25, +35 and +45 in this wheel. Would love to sound more confident and educated in all of this but I had my tire shop order and install these.

If I were guessing I’d say that’s the 45.

That's probably not good if I want to run a 305 tire next time around. I need to get underneath this thing and check clearances.

The back won’t have any issues. Check the tire to strut body clearance up front though. That’s gonna be real close.

Usually wheel specs like offset are on the inside rim edge of the wheel. Could find the offset there maybe.

Going to look for this next time I rotate them.

Decided to just go with the Voxx Road Wheel Modena rims. Not the best but they will due for winter.

They are 9" wide so I can fit a 285/50R20 and get a little wider than what I have now. I will revisit this in the spring and go with a 22x10" and a 305 tire for summer. I need tires that are going to be ok in the snow and there doesn't seem to be much of a selection in all-season tires in that size. I searched through the forums but couldn't find any recommendations for good AS tires. A couple people asked but no one answered. I've never run Bridgestone before but the Alenza AS Ultra seem to get good reviews. Any of you Northern folk have any recommendations?

 

[2020FordRaptor]

The Yokohoma Parada Spec-X in 305/40r22 seems to be a pretty good A/S tire that works well in heavier winters.

So following up on my own rude awakening.....this is the label on my boxes from my wheels. Yeah, I'm a dumb dumb...never even noticed this until now. The real bummer is that my receipt from when the rims were ordered shows +25 as the offset. So.....has anyone run the H&R Trak+ spacers? I am thinking that either their 13mm or 15mm should put me right where I want to be.

You max out at about a 6mm slip on spacer if you want enough stud protruding to get enough threads into the lug nuts. Anything thicker is taking a big chance IMO unless you put in longer studs…which isn’t that hard either.

 

[flhx06]

Ok. Definitely changing to longer studs then. And you were right, pretty much right up against strut body. About a 1/4" away.
