baja steel rims

littlekebb05 · Posted: Fri Mar 12, 2004 9:09 pm Post subject: baja steel rims

i have found the perfect tire that i want for my car to go mudden with. the only problem is that the tire is a 25x10x12 and i dont have any 12 inch rims for my car which is a wide five bolt pattern i was wondering if they make a rim that is a wide five and like 9.50 by 12. as long as the tire might fit i would want it. it is soppost to have bead lockers for the tire i want.
thanks
joel

maybe ;try a company like Douglas wheel. They make the wide five pattern, and they make smaller dia wheels for different applications. I think that they will make special runs if you gots the $$$!

Just curious as to what kind of brake setup you are going to use with such a small wheel.

I have looked into this alittle myself and there are some quad runner wheels out there that have a 4x130mm bolt circle(vw). then all you would have to do would be to change over to 4 lug vw or just run adapters.

it is for a atv tire. i like the looks of the titan at489 tire. i was something for extreme mudden and only to be driven in the mud and soft terain. i wanted to use stock brakes. i didnt think to make sure that they would fit that way.
thanks

i dont want to convert to 4 lug or use adapters. i was also wondering if anyone would recomend any mudden tire that is really great and ahlfway cheap that is less than 29" tall for a 15" rim. i dont have the money for s.s. boggers or something like that. i want a tracktor style tread pattern or something. i would also prefer it be bias so it grips better. they will never see the road.
thanks
joel

Have you looked into the 7.00x15 tire pretty aggressive tread and bias plyed. I found this on www.chirco.com . Hope this helps.

Why not just get a standard super swamper tire?I paid $220 including mount and balance for two 29" x 15"tires and have all kind of grip and traction.

well a regular super swamper would not really work to good for me. i am planning on going through the nastyest stuff posible. 10 foot deep mud holes and going down to my creek and back. i need somehting that has the most traction posible an i dont need them ballanced or anyhting because i am going to be strickly in the mud. i want to be able to go down to my creek and back in the mud and it is about a 50 degree hill.
thanks

How about this- http://www.galaxytire.com/earth_contra_trench.shtml

If your vehicle never sees pavement, it's a great traction choice.
