As the subject says...
Does anyone have (2) 165/50/15" tyres they want to sell, before I go shopping ..?
Or a pair of 215/55 series tyres in a 15" ..?
Cheers
Tony

Thanks mate..
Havent overlooked you...
Just trawling for anything excess to requirement..
Thursday night I'll have a better idea on the rear boots..
Getting some og style rims made for the ute...
4.5" with safety bead on the front..
8" with safety bead on the rear....( Hoping they fit with a custom offset.)

Trial fitted 215/65/15s on 8" rims to rear of SC ute last night..
Real squeeze and too tall..
Thinking a 215/55/15 should fit..
Fronts will need to be 165/55/15 on 4.5" rim..
Any suggestions on where to look for two tone paint schemes for stock rims..?
ps..Ill pass on the 195s , but thanks for the offer Brad..

schwarz centers and body colour hoops.
It'll really accentuate the size of the rear rims.

What colour for hubcaps..?
Thinking I'll run them to hide all the fuss with the adapters

Got to agree..
But not sure whether to go for shiny paint rims or ratty look to match the ute..
Probably go gloss ,cause I plan to polish it one day...

Either way. Tidy rims on a ratty body always sets it off.
