Default 15 inch wheels for a RRC?

I could probably find the answer if I searched long enough, but it's a lazy Saturday morning...

Are there any 15" wheels for a '94 RRC?

If so, I've got a new set of BFG A/T for almost nothing!

Yes,

Gulf Coast Rovers - Stocking Custom Parts For Your Land Rover - (281)565-8600

had some you could check into.

There are two others that I forgot where you can specify offset, etc.

I've got 15x8 on my 1992 RR1 so I could run 35x12.5

those look great, almost exactly what I'm looking for! I love black wheels, especially after my chromed wheels I have now.

The tires I'm looking at are BFG A/T, and the size, according to the owner, is 30x9.5x15. Will those fit in my wheel wells? It seems to be only an inch bigger than my current tires. I currently have the OME HD spring conversion from AB if that helps.

Thanks!

I would think so, especially if the lift is installed. Stock would probably work fine also, depending on the wheel offset.

If the lift is installed, I would stick with the stock wheels and find a deal on 235/85r16 tires... that was my favorite set up on my old RRC.

Well, I don't think there's a lift, other than what Atlantic British says that it will add 1.5-2 inches of lift.

You don't happen to have picture of your old setup do you?

(If you didn't notice, I'm totally new to tire shopping... other than on a car.)

I'm confused. Are the OME HD springs on the RR1 yet?

If yes, then I believe you have a 'lift'.

My first photo is OME MD lift springs and 225/75r16, the next is with 235/85r16 GY MT/R's. They fit in the wheel wells pretty well. The MD will flex a lot more than your HD's unless you have a heavy load off road.

Yeah, sorry. I'm a total newbie when it comes to modifications of a vehicle. The OME HD springs are indeed on the truck. So I guess it has a lift. I always think of a lift as some outrageous looking Ford that's 12 feet high and hasn't seen dirt in it's life.

I don't mind the wheels I've got, not a big fan of the chrome (it's peeling anyway), but I've always loved black steel wheels on a dark truck like mine. I just happened to come accross these BFG tires that are perfect and very cheap. But, they're 15 inch so I'd have to get new wheels. Darn.

Here's a shot from a few years ago to show you the wheels I currently have:

Thanks for you help!

I'd strip the chrome and spray with flat or satin black spray can.. easy to touch up!
