8j or 10j rims with new Siroccos

[Rob110]

Hi

Im thinking of getting a set of 285/75/16 Fedima Siroccos on black Mods but i cant decide to go for 8j rims or 10j rims. has anybody got any pics of these rims, what would you say the pros and cons are?

I use the 90 on the road for short distances, green laning and play days.

I like the idea of a better steering lock with the 10j but im worried that they will look like balloon tyres and will stick out too far for tight lanes but i would like for the car to have that chunky look.

Any ideas

Cheers

Rob

I dont see why the 10" rim would give you better steering lock?

You'd either keep the offset fixed, and make the rim 2" wider, meaning an inch more backspace and so less clearance, or you'd keep the backspace as it was, and put all the extra width on the outside, which is likely going to make it handle pretty awfully, and will make the wheels stick out the arches.

285s are about the same width as an 11.50 and having seen 11.50s fitted on 10in rims they look stupid and the sidewalls are somewhat in harms way!
