Hi Gents,

I want to sell my alloys 17 inch with good tyres.

I want to buy a set ROH rims but it seems there are several sizes available.
7X16, 8X16, 10X16 and what offset should i take, i've read about -10

Tyres i ordered are the BFG KM2 in size 305-70/16.

Vehicle isn't lifted yet but will be in about 2 months.

Many thanks.

You will need a minimum of 8 inch rim for those tyres.
I think the max recommended is 9.5
I would suggest -22 offset
The wider the rim the more easily you can unseat the bead
The narrower the rim the more the tyre will squirm

Many tyre fitters will not fit a tyre if it is outside the manuf rim recommendations as it isn't worth their livelyhood if something happens but some may
