What wheel offset for 30mm?

#1 by GunnerBill , Wed Feb 12, 2020 2:24 pm

So I tried Bulldog 30 mm wheel spacers and they vibrate like hell. So they have to go.

I'm looking to replace with 17" x 8" modular steel wheels to replicate the 30 mm offset of the spacers but have no idea what I should be looking for offset wise or anything really!

Help!

Do wheel spacers change the towing capacity?

I replaced my 17” alloys with 16x8 zero offset modulars. Previously done this on an 07 animal and currently have the same for my 15 barbarian. I believe the originals have a 30mm offset. Fitting modulars with a zero offset widened the track by 60mm in total. I bought my original set from 4x4at and the second set from milners.

Thanks for the replies.

In answer to various questions nothing was loose, it was definitely the spacers as they are not hubcentric. They were also very carefully installed, all mating surfaces buffed and greased and all bolts torqued in the correct pattern.

it ired them on and off and it was the spacers, although a broken front shocker did confuse things.

I've since replaced them with hubcentric items from mtec (ebay) and they run smoothly with no issues.
