Rim size for G30 | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 251 enthusiast | OP enthusiast Joined: May 2012 Posts: 251 | One of my posts today i was talking about rims size, so i may as well put it out for general discussion.
G30 is 8 lug which is hard to get here in the UK so i will need to ship them. so must get the size correct to fit my G30 (imagine if i got them shipped and they didn't fit)
What i know for the G30
Rim Diameter (in) :16 Rim width (in): 8 Bolt Pattern (in): 8x6.50
I believe the following
Front Center Bore (mm): 78.3 Rear Center Bore (mm): 78.3 Stud_Size: 14x1.5
im not sure about
Offset Range (mm): Backspace range (mm):
for clarity and my piece of mind can anyone/everyone add the offset & backspace ranges and confirm the rest for rims that will fir the g30
im at the bottom of the learning curve but i love my van

A few high open bridges with high winds and it was a bit of a fight.
I have a set of 255 85 R16 BFG's i plan to put on mine but i need to get the rims sorted first. also plan on doing a lift but not 3" but that's a topic for another day :-)
