how wide?
big rim job, who has the biggest?
Re: big rim job, who has the biggest?
I recently went from 13"s to 15"... ride is a lot better I think, more stable, don't spin the wheels when I take off, but last drive I had at speed through some twisty bits it did hit the bump-stop on the rear left at one point. I reckon 16" would be too big...14" would seem about perfect for a T2 really performance wise anyways...

looks good! I've got a fair bit of suspension work to do yet, but I should be able to sort ride out, however there is a fair bit to be said about only going as big as you need too.
Re: big rim job, who has the biggest?
Side by side there was only about 1 inch diff. between the 15" with tires & the 13" with tires overall diameter, so 16"-17" with very low profile tires would work...James was the Tire/Shock Guru on here but I think he's vanished :p I've yet to try a set of 14" but a mate with a T2 is set to get some soon, he doesn't like the 15" on his.

Yeaaaaaaaah I reckon anything bigger than 15" or *maybe* 16" looks awful..

Re: big rim job, who has the biggest?
I'm wondering if 16 is too big, and of course the setback could be a huge issue to sort.........
Re: big rim job, who has the biggest?
16 *is* too big...15 at the most. 14's I reckon would be *perfect*.... I have these 14's I'II tryout one of these days...
