Desired Offset For 35" Tyres


need4speed

Recommended Posts

I'm looking to fit 35" tyres onto my 110. Will my 15x8 modulars with 0 offset be ok, or will I be better getting new modulars with a -35 offset?

I have heard that when fitting 35/12.5 tyres you need spacers in order to get reasonable turning circle/avoid fouling etc.

I was hoping to be able to fit them without spacers on my 0 offset wheels so they don't stick out past the arches by a silly amount.

It depends if you are planning to do hardcore off road; -35 offset will really push your steering box, wheel bearings and balljoints a hard time off road. Also, the geometry (scrubradius) will get severely compromised. Plenty off people do it though. I run +8, which keeps them flush with the original eyebrows, but it is an 88", so turning circle is less of a problem.

You don't want them to stick out beyond the arches *by any amount*.

Unless, that is, you enjoy dealing with roadside VOSA spot-checks and being required to trailer your vehicle back home: Wiltshire Constabulary and VOSA's been rather hot on this sort of thing in the last couple of weeks.
