I wish I didn't keep getting conflicting bloody info! I've had enough of it, & know that neg 13 will do the job 'cos I've seen 'em on Maccas truck, besides if they stick out a tad more than they really need to so what, doesn't really matter does it? Neg 13mm moves the wheel 23mm 'outward' rather than the 10mm 'outward' a zero offset would achieve. 10mm seems a bit too close If I went with zero & got rims & they rubbed I'd then be up for getting them machined & rewelded plus repainted which would not make me a happy chappy whereas having a little extra space between my tyres & the chassis does no harm.
SO....... George can the place you got quoted on the ROH's supply tyres too, & if so could they price a package deal on rims plus 265/75LT Bridgestone D697's (fitted & balanced if possible) or do you think i'd be better getting them fitted locally in case I get any post fitting 'wobble' problems?

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

You are taking 10mm from one side and adding it to the other.... sorta hard to explain with words.

The measurement should to the same face of the rim. From the front you have to measure through the centre hole to the mounting face.

Mate i measured my 16x8's on saturday and they are pos10, from the center 10mm forward.
Best and easiest way is from the back mark center (4" or 100mm) then with a flat edge on the back of the hub measure that to your center line and bobs your aunty. Not really rocket science lol
Anyway who wants wheels?? At this stage Cuppa and i are going to go with the ROH's but i'm waiting on an e mail from another supplier...
