yet another suspension/tyre question??

[jippo]

gday fellas i have gone back over the last 5 or so pages and haven't really found a answer to my question, which is im putting ome lift kit on next week and plan to put cooper stt 265/75r16 on roh trojans 16x8. Will there be any rubbing at all? oh its a sr5 twin cab with a steel tray. Thanks shane.

it all depends on the offset of the wheels you get mate.

wuth 265's it should be less of a problem. somewhere between -12 offset Ive heard from ATS in Geelong, to -5 offset like the wheels I got (thou i got bigger tyres), thou Ideally I reckon something like a patrol offset of about +10 or +12 would be perfect for ya.

anyone else got any comments for him?

mmaaxx,

Why wouldn't you just use the original +30 offset if you are running 265's?

[jippo]

not sure of the offset on the trojans might have to look into it. Just spoke to on track 4x4 who is doing the suspension and he was unsure but said he had some 265 there we could try once the lift is done. Thanks for the replys fellas.

Going by the roh website the trojans come in either a +0 or +30.

stoney, Im running 285's, by choice, and chose this after I had bought the rims. I should have done abit more homework on the rim offset i needed because it could have been better. The bloke who sold me the wheels said that the -5 offset was fine for 265's as it pushed the wheel/tyre to the edge of the flare, to give it a tuffer look.

+30 isnt good with tyres over 265 wide in that the tyre would touch on the upper control arm. so you'd need to space it further out.

Mate, I have ROH RTX +30 with 265/75R16 ST's and there is 10mm clearance from the little bump on the control arm and have had no problems and have about 20000k on them. Macca

I have same wheels as you with ST 285 and mine hits the upper control arm when turning hard

[ripin5.0l]

i have 33's on the standard sr5 rims n they slightly touch the upper control arm but only just.... just bought sum american racing rims with +20 offset n these hit the front brake calipers so just goin 2 space them out bout half an inch to clear everything, just need longer wheel studs

[jippo]

So if i get the trojans and they come in -0 offset and -30 i need to order the -30 and i should be right????

[Macca]

jippo,
Check you + & - you dont want to pay your hard earned and find you have a rim that wont fit, once a tyre is mounted the rim becomes 2nd hand!.

Trying to look out for you, Macca

[jippo]

Thanks macca appreciate it mate will definitly talk to the tyre dealer in great depth before any thing is ordered. Am hopeing once the suspension is done i will be able to talk to to the 4x4 shop aswell . thanks again fella's

[jippo]

well all done fellas managed to fit the ome suspension and must say the ride shits on the standard suspension. Then fitted the roh trojon 16x8 withy cooper stt 265/75r16. No rubbing. i reackon i gained about 3 1/2 inches in height overall, will post up some pics in the nextr few days.

[Hilux Max]

good stuff Jippo. what offset did you end up getting on the rims?

pics?

[jippo]

gday mmaaxx not sure what the offset was in the end but all good no rubbing at all yet! am yet to take it off road. If the photos work then you should be able to see a before and after shot. Brand new 12 months ago and today
