VDJ79 78 76 series offset rim choice fitting 35 12.5 16 tyres under front coil suspension comparison

Part 1 of trying to get a 35 12.5 16 tyre under a 70series
PLEASE, if theres any particular info anyone needs while I'm doing the coil comparison in parts 2/3 comment down below so i can get the relevant info needed.

[@TypeGGarage]

One of your best technical vids yet! keep up the good work, and we'll keep watching!

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Cheers mate, glad you enjoyed it..

[@AdOYOO]

So much info ! Share his videos guys

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

That would be awesome.... Thanks

[@thinpins1]

Looking forward to seeing the coil comparisons. I've recently done the suspension in my 79. Think I'll get a lighter 3" coil to test. By the weight calculations, it should have been 3" but sits more like 3.75"

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Yes i will measure up both sets I've got to put in....Cheers

I think its ROH who make a nice black powdercoated 12.9 high tensile wheel nut for the VDJ79R with a closed in end cap so water & rust cant get into the stud threads from the outside, plus they look nice & wear well.

[@dustyfarmer]

Just check that the nut face taper mates correctly to your rims, I'm running ROH rims & ROH wheel nuts. I think there could be an issue between other rim manufacturers & ROH wheel nuts from memory, could have been the ROH nuts have a bigger surface area there too where they contact the rim.

@@dustyfarmer Copy mate and thanks again for the input

The boys are getting me some, I've only ever seen those in a 19mm, really like the big 22s....

hey mate - silly question, why diddnt you finger balance the steel wheels?

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Basically thats the only balancing machine they have.... thanks for asking

[@dbsampson]

Should be getting balanced using a finger balancer not the cone style piece, they'll balance a heap better using less weights.

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Ok, thanks for the comment.

[@jayv8888]

Hey Drecnh, could you please do a detailed video on how to swap out the front springs? Looking to swap mine out however i would love to learn and save the few hundred from paying someone else, thanks

[@TeamBulletOffroad]

Thanks for the great vids. I'm ready to buy my wheels for 315/75R16. What offset should I get? Will 0 offset work?

Yes on Grey truck I had 0 fronts and neg50 rears

@@TeamBulletOffroad thank you, I'm trying to get some ROH steel rims from Aus to South Africa. I have 45mm spacers on the back so I'll get the Blak Trak 16x8 zero offset 👌
