Ok I have found the set of tires I want...But can't seem to find a set of rims..I want a set that not many people have. I have been to 4wheel parts, all pro off road.The problem is finding a 16.5 x 12 rim.

I don't want the "Typhoon" or common rims every body else is running.

38.5x14.50-16.5 (Ply Rating=6 Tread Width=12.3 O.D.=38.5)
SSTSAM-76B

I want this style rim to show my vented disc's front and rear.

If you have a link or any suggenstions.Please post it.

Thanks Chuck

First off Id never buy a 16.5 wheel. Second a 38.5" sx is about perfect on a 10-11" wheel a 12 works of course but especially on a 16.5 it would fall off the bead a LOT.

Why not a 16.5 wheel?

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #3 on:** Feb 19, 2005, 11:40:41 PM »

There is really no safety bead to hold the tire to the outer edge of the rim at low pressures. Watch a 15 or 16" wheel get seated on the bead. It has to "pop" over the safety bead. A 16.5" does not have anything like that it just goes right on, and right back off at anything under 10 lbs.

oh ok. good info to know, thanks

Trash so your saying just stick with the 15" rim? I don't anticipate airing down to <10 psi but you never know....

How much back spacing will I need

? I am running a 6" spring lift and a 3" body lift. 1985 4runner.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #7 on:** Feb 20, 2005, 04:11:47 PM »

Every rim size other than 16.5 has a safety bead. So that leaves 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, etc.etc. The backspacing you use depends on what size of tires your going to run. If your going to run 38's Id suggest at least 3" to help keep the tires off the springs.

if you want to show of those front and rear rotors i would go with a set of 18X10's with 3 inch backspace

79coyotefrg · « **Reply #9 on:** Feb 20, 2005, 04:21:02 PM »

16.5 was somebodies brainfart, bigrigs run the same 'style' rim with no safety bead, and are usually 22.5'' or 24.5'' such as 295-85-24.5

no safety bead so changing those big suckers is easier, they stay on well with 110psi

18x10 where the hell do you get those big fella's

holy &*^%...$600 a pop..! I don't have that kind of dough.

I noticed that the TSL/SX only come in 15 & 16.5 no 16"....That kinda bites

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #13 on:** Feb 20, 2005, 04:48:34 PM »

Yea interco doesnt think anyone would want an sx or a bogger in anything else.

Check on American Racing wheels, they carry a 17" wheel that is teflon coated that is a decent deal.

How bad do you want to show off your bling bling rotors?

ezthere · « **Reply #15 on:** Feb 20, 2005, 09:26:51 PM »

I just figured that I spent the time to put them in.Might as well show them...What do you guys think of the Thornbirds...They come in a 16 inch.

WHITE_TRASH · « **Reply #16 on:** Feb 20, 2005, 09:49:03 PM »

They are called thornturds for a reason! They suck everywhere but in the looks department.

Fireimp141 · « **Reply #17 on:** Feb 21, 2005, 06:02:35 AM »

Just get a 15 that will show off your vents... that way you can run the TSL also

ezthere · « **Reply #18 on:** Feb 21, 2005, 04:19:09 PM »

It's starting to look that way....What do you guys think about bead locks..? Do they really leak..?

I fly to Manila this weekend loocking to buy some Recaro knock off's..

How about a 16.1?

They're prone to. You need to be religious about maintaining pressure in them and making sure the bolts don't back off.

You are flying to look at a set of seats?!!! Why does that not make any sense to me?
2nd never buy Thornbirds

If you seat them properly they aren't that bad about leaking. Just make sure you get a beadlock with alot of mounting bolts.

I fly free and live 3hr's due west from PI...Will keep the bead loc's in mind..
