Hi All,

I have been offered a set of Eagle Alloys for $750.

This Style - Clicky (http://www.aewheel.com/eagle_alloy_wheels.cfm?id=1990&cat=472)

They are 16 x 8 with a -11 offset.

The Bolt Pattern is 6 on 5.5 - whatever that means.

My question is:

Would these be OK on my 02 GU Patrol - It has a 2" lift and runs MT Claws 285x75x16.

Do you think this offset would make the wheels hang out from the guards, or would there be any scrubbing?

Thanks in advance.

Perfect Offset

the 6 on 5.5 is the Bolt pattern and i believe that is correct?? Not sure though? Check the Bolt pattern and if that is right your on a winner. Sounds like a good buy.

Is there such a thing as RTI..... Repetitive Tapping Injury?????

Welli,

I got some wheels today although not the ones above. I got a far better deal on a set of five as per follows.

Im yet to have tyres fitted, hopefully this week.

I thought I have read somehwrre that I cant use the centre caps on these as they make the wheels come loose, can anyone shed some light.

Also,

The caps seem big enough to go over the front hubs. If they do fit, can anyone see any problems in doing this?

Cheers
