Towmaster,

I have have the VN427's 15x10 and 15x7 (polished rim and grey centres) fitted with 295x50 and 235x60 MT tyres. Front and back are zero offset and I am running Jag series II suspension front are rear. The rears still have plenty of clearance on the hub lower mounting boss.

I bought them via a local Adelaide dealer who dealt with Wheelboyz in QLD.

I did have an issues with both Wheelboyz and local dealer stuffing up my order by ordering in the wrong stud pattern. The tried to tell me that AR didn't supply the rims in 5x4.75 pattern and tried to stick me with the ford bolt pattern. The even tried to bull**** their way out of the stuff up by stating that AR hadn't "finished off" my order and this is the way that they do it(?) WTF!

In the end, I had to live with the rims being machined and fitted with stainless insets to bring the pattern out to 5x4.75.

Apart form this, I would buy from AR rims again and I am extremely happy with the rims and tyres. The look the part.

Let me know if you need more info :-)

Cheers Roy

WheelBoyz were originally down at Ormeau and had a franchised store etc, which I believe went bellyup.
I will stand corrected but I am under the impression that the new store has nothing to do with the old business at all........but as I say I could be wrong .

Rog246,

It was the new store that I dealt with. I took delivery of my rims in May of this year.

Cheers
