how wide can i go?

[Maysik]

thats basically what i am after i also had 10'' hotwires on the rear of a wb ute but still had to modify the lip. but i need to know how much backspace i have on the hz van before i start looking at combinations.

Lot of factors to consider when copying someone else's set up. I will find it difficult because I have a non standard diff, it's a disc brake rear from a Statesman that puts the hubs outboard 9mm.

Perhaps you might have to bite the bullet and take the wheel off and measure offsets and centres etc and go to a fitment guide. That way it will be dead accurate for your vehicle. Most wheel websites have them, I know Dragway has a good one.
Hope this helps.

Drill a hole it a bit of flat bar and bolt it onto a wheel stud. This will give you a measurement from the wheel boss to chassis or other obstruction and to front lip of quarter panel. Best way I've found to get maximum width and correct offset.

Good idea, I'll be using this when I measure up. Thanks.

that sounds like the go jason ill see what i come up with. cheers

My 235/60R15 tyres would scrub continually if I lowered it.
All because of the offset of my Strikers.

sorry to hijack

can someone tell me if 18x8's and 18x9's will fit onto a Q 1 tonner?
also what sorta tyre width would i need (minimum) to cover all those inches. thanks

showwheels 'SW-1 i think they are called streeta.

18x8's say hub is 73.1 offset - 0

18x9's say hub is 78.5 offset - 6

I don't have any real close up picks but here's a couple. I can take some tight shots if you like.

My vans have 8" with 245/60 T/A's on the back and the left (on both) tyres just lightly rub over sharp bumps. Both vans are lowered 2". They don't rub on the top edge of the guard, it's at the back.

It all depends on backspace and dish anyway... I have about 2" I could go inboard without rubbing on anything else so I could squeeze 10" wheels in there at a pinch.

Hi Rob,

Mine is lowered 2" also, would you have any photos of the rear of your van as I'd like to see that set up you have. It seems I am at my limits with the 235's I have on my van.

Thanks John.

Hi Rob,

That's fine for the photos at this stage, I checked out a few of your shots from previous posts.

Good to see.

Thanks John.
