@Lambley...very nice! good choice!


Cheers Greeni, they might not be to everyones taste but they're a little wider and the offset is just about perfect for the arches, not too dissimilar to boosts but just 'different' enough. The dark grey suits black, and I've lacquered them in matt to take away the bling factor.

There are probably enough ZUīs somewhere amoungst the 30 pages, but here is another combination.

Gloss black 7x16 ZUīs, 255/85 MTīs, 30mm spacers.

Has anyone tried 15" x 10" Challenger 5 Spoke -35 steel wheels? Any opinions?

-35 offset? Makes my wheel bearings cry just from thinking about it

I'm running 16x10 with a -35 offset on my green 110. You'll certainly need extended arches with that width and offset.

@Jose.Pereira - I've seen many options here with the spacers and different offsets. 30mm spacer is like -30 offset for the bearing - the wheel goes outside - correct? So I don't see any particular reason this should not work.
Extended arches - I agree. I quite like them Cool

Yes a 30mm spacer on a 0 offset wheel gives the same result as a -30 offset wheel.

Yes, that's right. But spacers are usally used with wheels with a +33 offset, resulting in a +3mm OS.

Anyway, even a -50mm offset will work, but I'm not sure of the effects of that on wheel bearings. The farther you go from the centerline between the 2 hub bearings the worse it is. How worse and how far, I don't know. But for remote overlanding I would not risk it, of maybe top it at 0mm offset. Maybe a 90 with a lighter gross weight (2550kg) can get away with a wider stance.

Anyway, without any objective study, this is all BS

You can get it through Brendan.
It runs through round constant diameter tube, all the way to the air filter. Supposed to be very efficient. 1998 Tdi 90 SW,

The intake for the heater is the fixed flap on the side. It acts as a scoop, and at the same time saves the need for a snow cowl. All part of the RAI kit. On a RHD its not required as the heater intake is on the other side.
