ok i need your opinion, im trying to decide which wheels to buy for my moke

im looking at the 15x7/16x7 range, (im under the impression that they will fit without mods and are of the right PCD)

im planning to paint my moke this colour -

option 1 15x7.5 - is the blue too much ? AUD$240

a 7" wheel (pretty much no matter the offset, because they will come very close to the trailing arm) is going to stick out a fair way on a Moke with standard guards.

Good luck.

Make sure the wheels are a 4 inch (101.4?) PCD and not a "make them fit" 100 PCD.
It may only be 1+a bit mm smaller but you'll be bending the studs and obviously that ain't good.
You might be able to get the wheels drilled to a 4 inch PCD :?

I gave it a lot of thought and can't go past option 5
The chrome ones are too chrome, if that makes sense.
I couldn't blame you for going with option 1 or 3 either

Well apparently 7.5" width isn't going to under the guards too well, might go for 15x7

Just widen the guards. Its just sheetmetal!

Carls wheels (force racing) are awesome. A++, would buy if had the money
