Advice pls

Have a 90 that is just used off road around the farm.
Currently running Insa Special Track Turbo's on a set of modulars, looking to change wheels to something with a better offset (steering an issue), don't want to spend a fortune on new as she's mainly a log carrier, i had been thinking of a set of Wellers but am open to suggestions.

Many thanks.

I need a bigger offset on the wheel to push the tyre away from the body of the 90, would prefer the wheel to do the job instead of using spacers.

At the mo when turning the wheels rub - has the turning circle of the QEII, after 10 yrs of ownership I realise that it will never be brilliant but i would finally like to improve it.

Re: Advice pls

Hi
Can you not just undo the bolts a little on the swivel housing to stop the rubbing?
Cheers

A set of ET0 steel modular offsets can be had for around £40 a pop which will give you 33mm extra width per side.

I have a set off these:

Also ET off 0 I believe. With 35" 10.5 's the inner side off the tyres is more to the outside off the 90 than with my 235 -85 BFG's on the original rims.
