15" rims

Post by oaf » Mon Apr 21, 2008 10:01 pm

G'day, i was wondering if there are any 15" steel rims which would fit my L-series (4 stud)? I'm not too concerned about offset as long as the tyres don't rub on the inside. prefer 7" wide rim. cheers brenden

Only is to get Pug 15" rim, or convert to 5 stud for Liberty and get Liberty rims.
L Series doesnt really have many 15"

will the pug rims take std 15"tyres? I read somewhere that some pug wheels were metric and required metric tyres which are really rare and expensive. if they are std 15" which pug models have them? otherwise how big a deal is it to swap to 5 stud?

Depends on your talents with a spanner but if you had all the parts, including wheels and tyres, you should be able to knock the job over in a weekend no probs.
Failing that, email Crossbred and get him to do the whole conversion for you.

Ring Crossbred (click on the link for the numbers) and talk to Jeff. I'm sure he'd be happy to discuss options and cost.

I've got a set of 5 15" steel wheels. You can have them for $500 for the set.

Nope no tyres, just the rims, still in their original boxes and plastic.

I have a 2" lift so would there be any issues with tyres rubbing on bodywork?

as long as you're not putting on 27" mud tyres you'll be fine. my brumby has road tyres on 15"s with 2" lift with no scrubbing. Not sure what the offset on the rims will be like on the L series, I don't imagine it would be too bad.

Are not superlites available in 15" as well? 15x7 if I recall...not sure what they are worth though.
