Wide Wheels
Home ] Up ]


 

When preparing the wheels for the Sahara I took some dimensions.

 

Wheel Middle of Tyre Drum face Offset
Javelin/Jup standard 6.5 10 3.5
Modified Saab 90 7.5 11.2 3.7
Widened Javelin 8.2 11.5 3.3
Modified Suzuki jeep 8 13 5

Note that spacers are used to bring contact patch in line with king pin and overcome offset. The adjustment can accommodate different profile tyres. Longer stronger Rover studs are used. The main thing to watch when fitting wide rims is fouling the upper suspension link (particularly on metal suspension) and cutting into the front wheel arch on full bounce and full lock on the Javelin.
