When I fitted the front 2 rims the balancing weights mounted to the back of the rims hit the steering knuckle. I had to remove the balancing weight and even then theres only 2mm or so clearance between the knuckle and rim. So the question is... Do you think I was sold the wrong offset rims or are they usually like this? I can't remember the rim size (it's dark outside at atm) but they're fitted with 31 x 10.5 15" tyres.

USA 4Crawler Web Wheeler Backspacing on the solid axle rims is 3-3/8" (~85mm), you might have gotten rims with 4" or more backspacing and those will hit the steering or brake conponents. r.c.brown@ieee.org TruckEditor@tlca.org Project: 4Crawler 4Crawler OffRoad - 4x4Wire discount code Re: Rim/Tyre Question [Re: rustylux] #817843 06/11/07 01:11 AM Joined: Apr 2002 Posts: 3,568 Grass Valley, CA Snowtoy Roll Me Over You can buy some 1/4" spacers if that would be enough. They slide over the lug studs and are reatively cheep compared to the bolt on wheel spacers. More than tread lightly. Leave it like you were never there, nor anyone else.
