How wide are your rear wheels?

[shawn82]

Hello everyone.
I'm after getting my wheels banded, im currently running 4" x 15" steels all round and dont ike it one bit, ha ha.
im thinking 4.5" on the front but unsure how wide i can go on the rear, maybe 5.5"
My bus is lowered and narrowed beam.
what size rims people got on the back and photos if possible please?
many thanks.

its all down to the offset of the wheels, I have run a 7" rim in the past, but I have heard of people running much wider.

Its all in the offset,

my advice is 5.5J on the front and 6 to 7 on the rear dependant on your offset.

if you measure the gap between the edge of your wheel and the arch, that will give you the maximum width you can band. but allow room for getting the wheel on. looking at your photo I would think you could easily fit a 2" band.

Cheers guys,
Will get tape measure out and have a look, not too sure about offset.
