Saves me taking off the 20s to put stockers back on to go with the rears I wanted before.. Still will look very streetable and not out of place and give me a wide tyre with a great sidewall....Offset should be ok but just ground off the blade bolts for a little bit of extra clearance and once the tyres are on and I may be able to machine a few mm off the offset to have them tuck perfectly without and scrubbage..Going with a M&H Drag Radial in a 275-40-17.. They have a better footprint over the Mickey equivalent by 1/2" with the same section width and lots of people say they hook better..Also another advantage I see with this rim is its very lightweight.. I was going to do the Territory rear brake conversion but when I read about the extra 2kgs each side in the disk difference I was a bit put off.. so when these rims are on its going to be the same as the stockers so im ok with adding that little bit of unsprung weight now... Win Thanx for the advice to those who contributed on this topic.. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Def need a pic when you go out.....want to see what 20" f & 17" r look like Also I don't think you need to do anything regarding the blade bolts. It was only an issue for people running 10" wide and +35 to +40 I believe? But you'll now for sure when they come in! Did rota derps have a weight for that rim?
